No one ever had to choose whether to be attracted to males or females. There are physiological differences between gay and non-gay people.
Quote:
Recent studies have found notable differences between the physiology of gay people and non-gay people. There is evidence that:
The average size of the INAH-3 in the brains of gay men is approximately the same size as INAH 3 in women, which is significantly smaller, and the cells more densely packed, than in heterosexual men's brains.
The suprachiasmatic nucleus was found by Swaab and Hopffman to be larger in gay men than in non-gay men, the suprachiasmatic nucleus is also known to be larger in men than in women.
The anterior commissure is larger in women than men and was reported to be larger in gay men than in non-gay men, but a subsequent study found no such difference.
Gay men report, on an average, slightly longer and thicker penises than non-gay men.
Gay men's brains respond differently to fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
The functioning of the inner ear and the central auditory system in lesbians and bisexual women are more like the functional properties found in men than in non-gay women (the researchers argued this finding was consistent with the prenatal hormonal theory of sexual orientation).
The startle response (eyeblink following a loud sound) is similarly masculinized in lesbians and bisexual women.
Three regions of the brain (medial prefrontal cortex, left hippocampus, and right amygdala) are more active in gay men than non-gay men when exposed to sexually arousing material.
Gay and non-gay people emit different armpit odors.
Gay men are more likely to have a counter-clockwise hair whorl pattern.
Gay and non-gay people's brains respond differently to two human sex pheromones (AND, found in male armpit secretions, and EST, found in female urine).
Finger length ratios between the index and ring fingers may be different between non-gay and lesbian women.
This clearly shows that it's not a choice. Why would someone choose to be called "fa***t" or "dyke" constantly?
