    So 20th century.

    There are probably just as many bisexuals who CHOOSE to identify as homosexual as there are who CHOOSE to identify as heterosexual.

    Do one has disputed that the choice of an identifying label is a choice. So much for that implied strawman.

    As for your argument about bisexuals, on what do you base the assertion that the probability of choosing to identify as homosexual is more or less equal to the probability of choosing to identify as heterosexual?

    Bisexuality doesn't mean one's feelings of attraction are nicely split 50/50 between the sexes. The probability of choosing one label over the other has to take into account societal disapproval of identifying as homosexual. When we consider that, it seems more probable that a bisexual person would identify as heterosexual than homosexual, though there could certainly be other factors that might lead a minority to make a different choice of identifier.

    Homosexuality is an identity. Thats why ones sexuality frequently changes over time.

    Please refrain from replying to questions I ask someone else. I'm happy for you but also not really interested.

    And when trying to post a smart *ss reply, make sure you know exactly what the words in the question mean. Just to make sure you don't talk complete garbage when 'educating someone'.

    Nope, its been consistant throughout. No fat chicks or dudes. I did get a boner once when a skinny, transvestite hooker gabbed my junk, but then my friends told me she was a dude, and I freaked out so much the boner went away.

    Homosexuality being an identity causes sexuality to frequently change over time? What the hell are you trying to say?

    Don't be lazy. Read the poster's response and try figuring out where you got it wrong.

    that sometimes one is hetero and sometimes one is homo, sounds like the description of a bi-sexual to me, which may be why some are so confused the the rest of us have no choice in the matter as they do have a choice

    You should try being gay for a while to prove your theory that homosexuality is a choice. If you, being a heterosexual man, can sustain a healthy homosexual relationship for a month or two and post proof, I will acknowledge that homosexuality is a choice. God will probably forgive you if you sin in the interest of cleansing the sins of others (if that's your thing).

    I have a normally developed sexuality, like most people. 100s of 1000s of years of evolution has made me a slave to the male sex drive to copulate with women.
