I know a lot of gay/lesbian people who have some attraction to the opposite sex. Kinsey placed attraction on a scale from 0 - 6 - 0 = absolutely straight, 6 = absolutely gay. I happen to be a 6. There was even a guy once who I loved, who made me wish for and search for any hint of physical attraction to him. There was none. I desperately wanted more "fluidity". It doesn't exist in this lesbian. I'm quite sincere when I tell you that I would happily commit suicide to avoid experiencing sexual intercourse with a male.
I'm not certain about the "born this way" bit either. I think that nature/nurture plays an enormous role and we are clearly "programmed" by our environment and interactions. But then, . . . my Mother wrote my first sentence in my baby book as "I love Judy". (My teen-aged neighbor/babysitter.) Ha. So yeah, Tiz, I might have been "born this way". Maybe.
