@georgia@spinster.xyz @alex I'm pretty sure I disagree more or less 100%, Alex.

Sexuality may not be binary (Either straight OR gay), but I don't think it's a choice.

@Surasanji @georgia @alex This academic argues that it's not a choice, but it's not genetic either. It's more a result of experiences and environment. He also says that a lot of people who once felt attraction for the same sex become straight, so sexual orientation apparently can change for many people.

@deadheat @alex @georgia@spinster.xyz I don't lnow if it is nature or nurture, and I don't know how much of it is society, and I don't know much of anything now that I think about it- but, I do know that none of my gay friends growing up in the 90s were choosing to be gay and get tortured by our fellow students when we were in highschool. ( I went to a performing art's school. There were quite a few homosexuals.)
