Some people are born attracted to others of the same sex. However, I've known a few who seem to see homosexuality as a social identity rather than mere attraction.
Had a co-worker who claimed being a lesbian. She had been married twice, had 4 kids, and just somehow recently became one. Now, I believe if she was really attracted to women, she would have had girlfriends all along & not just in the past year. What seemed to have happened was that she was recently divoriced, wanted to party it up, & ran into some wild & crazy lesbians. Not completely turned off by the idea, she just jumped on the bandwagon.
That's one case I'd see homosexuality as being a choice.
So let's talk about your case... I'm going to assume you are straight... Can you see yourself becoming gay in order to enjoy (?) the gay lifestyle?
I'm inclined to agree ... if people are born with a strong preference, they are not simply going to decide to switch because they are bored. Perhaps this girl was bi or lesbian, and suppressed her orientation initially, then decided to stop denying things?
