I don't think it's anyone's business if it is or if it isn't, but of course logically it'd be as much of a choice as heterosexuality is, which has been confirmed scientifically. Anyways, I just don't see the point of that argument.

Heterosexuality is a choice? I can't ever remember sitting down and thinking "hmm.. willies or.. 'kitties'". I've liked girls for as long as I've known.

Quote:Hm, last person of same gender ... never had a crush on a girl.

So isn't that strong personal evidence that you couldn't ever *choose* to be a lesbian? Those sorts of sexual thoughts just aren't springing to mind, which means the choice of becoming a lesbian is almost impossible.
