Yet, as shown, bis have been pressured by gays to act as if they are discrete categories. I believe this was done for political advantage, so that a comparison to the racial civil rights movement could be made.
Quote:The whole thing about being 'born gay/straight' is the fact that as you mature through puberty (when you discover yoru sexual attractions) you don't just get to 'choose' what those attractions are. Gay/straight/bi might be useful shortcut labels, but they aren't separate boxes.That's a loaded statement. I say replace "discover" with "develop." Again, if people were born with a fixed sexuality which was just waiting to be discovered, there would be a very high concordance on homosexuality in identical twins, who share genes and shared a womb. But, the concordance is low.
As to choosing attraction - why not, to some extent? My ideal female body type is different than it was 30 years ago. It's pretty much exactly my wife's body type. That's not a coincidence. It's conditioning.
