I've molded myself into only dating men, even though I am still very attracted to women. It's just easier that way. I think because it's a spectrum, people who are toward the middle of the line sort of do have their choice in the matter; at least as far as acting on it goes.How do you determine where the cutoffs are that indicate someone is hetero or homo, rather than bi? Seems like it would be arbitrary.
It's not up to me to determine that. If someone says they're gay, they're gay. Unless they choose to expand on that, it's none of my business.

It's not like black people can choose to be white.
No, I would not agree. Gay people don't choose to be gay any more than I choose to be bisexual or blacks choose to be black. And where did I indicate that I thought homosexuality was a choice? I didn't. I said that I'm bi, and because I'm so far to the center of the spectrum, it's easier for *me* to make a choice in how I act on my sexuality.
