See What Pops Up: It seems a study has verified common sense in showing that sexuality is genetic. But some conservatives have staked their political careers arguing that sexuality is a choice. They seem to think homosexuals either choose to be gay or have suffered some emotional trauma that led them in that direction.

I don't understand how that can be. As a male, I never had to learn to be attracted to females. It just happens. And I have never met a man that I've found sexually attractive -- even if I wanted to.

The only way someone could argue that people can choose who they are attracted to is if that person admits that he or she has repressed sexual feelings towards a particular group. So anyone who says sexuality is a choice is essentially a closeted homosexual.
