Then the opposite is true. Being hetero itself is a choice, whether you act on it or not, but it is not an identity.

And I'm fine with that.

However I just have a propensity to choose hetero. Kind of like I choose to eat french fries and choose not to eat steamed spinach, because I was born to like french fries and hate steamed spinach.

Is that right?

Your body is biologically designed to eat both. You choose based on personal preference. A better analogy would be that you choose to eat french fries rather than eat rocks. Your body has not been designed by milions of years of evolution to eat rocks. You can choose to eat rocks, but it is incongruous with your evolutionary design. If you’re born a male, your penis is biologically designed to enter a vagina. Or the “in” door, as opposed to the “out” door. You can still choose door #2 (pun intended), but it’s not what your body was designed to do.

For the record, I don’t think being gay is a choice - I’m just correcting the analogy.

No, no heterosexual isn’t an identity. An identity only needs declared when you are choosing to be something you genetically are not
