>Your sexual orientation is not a choice.

Who says it's so for everybody?

There are millions who insist that their sex orientation is their choice. They can try X, experiment with Z, and whatever. That was part of the idea of "fluid genders" and sexual liberation in the sixties and especially seventies.

No, people insist that they are free to have ANY sexual orientation. This doesn't make your sexual orientation "a choice".
Well, people have changed sexual orientation. Straight to gay, lesbian to bi, gay to transgender and vice versa.

If that's not "a choice" I don't know what is. Just because it's not often a choice doesn't mean it can't be.

In the same way that some days I am happy and other days I'm sad, doesn't mean that my mood is choice.
Well, to keep with the example, people can also chose to be happy or sad. Some revile in being sad -- others opt to see the positive side.
It is'nt always, but it sure can be.
