I don't believe I said it was choice or environmental, you silly cunt. You're putting words in my mouth. I said it was something you develop.

I have a half-sister who is queer, and a kid who I grew up with in upstate NY who is gay as well. Neither of them endure the hostilities you speak of, but that's not to say they don't exist (i.e. Matthew Sheppard, etc.)

When I say "genes", I don't pair that up with birth. I pair that up with something hair-trigger in their life that makes them get up one morning & say, 'I like people of the same sex'. Whether you like or support that idea, I give not a two shits.
