People who say they were born gay are just as wrong as people who say they were born straight.

Human sexuality arises as our minds mature through a complex combination of genetics, environment and experience. There are almost certainly many heterosexuals who had the potential to be homosexual given the right circumstances, and many homosexual people who had the potential to be heterosexual. Moreover, sexuality is a spectrum. Very, very few are 100% homosexual or 100% heterosexual, and the vast majority of bisexual individuals still have a preference (meaning they may be 72% attracted to women, 28%% attracted to men).

These nice, neat little boxes we like to place human sexuality in are just simply not rooted in reality. Study after study shows that the overwhelming majority of people have had homosexual AND heterosexual fantasies at some point. Huge portions of those who claim heterosexuality have had homosexual experiences of some kind, and even higher percentages of homosexuals have had heterosexual experiences.

This is also why the comparisons to pedophilia, necrophilia, beastiality, etc. are nothing more than canards. A low percentage of individuals ever experience fantasies involving children or animals, yet the majority of people regardless of claimed orientation have had homosexual fantasies.

The Dr. is all over this one, just take Mayor Bill De Blasio's wife Chirlane, she was a professed lesbian and even wrote a article in a magazine proclaiming such but then turned on a dime and married a man.

Another thing I've noticed over the course of 35-40 yrs is how the media and pop culture has influenced sexual behavior.
Never saw chicks feeling each other up and kissing when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's unless they were lesbians now it's a given if you go to a party or a bar with the under 40 crowd you'll get a free show once the girls get their drink on and start dancing.
