No.

I did not choose to be gay. In fact, for years all I would admit to was bisexuality. I guess I tried so hard to appear almost normal that inside I almost believed it.

Ditto.

And ps to Packy - Thanks

How did you do it? How did people react?

"Slowly" it has taken me two years to get it out to the most accepting, supporting people in my life that I'm bisexual. All most as long for here at Lit too. Some people will never know either as I don't feel safe sharing that with certain individuals, which is very sad, I think on both sides—for me and them.

Genetic factors been directly related to or tied to DNA.

Biological factors are a lot more broad. The fetus, at different stages of pregnancy, are bombarded with a number of hormones and other chemical/biological agents that shape physical (including the brain) development. Certain types of stressors invoked certain chemical releases, etc.

*ponders*

You know, it almost makes sense that biological factors would have an effect on the number of gay and bi people rising over the past couple of decades. Consider when most of these people (myself included) were born, and what was going on in those times - all the extra curricular chemical use and assorted stressors from politics and such - and it might be something to take into serious consideration.

It's like anything else when it comes to preferrence.

I don't like olives. But I love garlic. That's not a conscious choice on my behalf.

What is an unconscious choice? Who chooses? The little gnome in the back of my head?

What makes an unconscious choice? No it's not a little gnome. It's the part of your brain that processes the input from your various senses. Just like I like garlic and dislike onions. Just like I like the color blue but green doesn't sit well with me.

In the area of sexuality I thought this over last night (when I had the quiet time) and the same applies. For some people they may like the scent of someone of the opposite sex or the same sex. Seeing the form of someone of the same sex may be more preferential than the opposite. It could be a tactile preference.

I do not believe it is a genetic disposition but a chemical one within each person's brain. Just like we have food preferences, we have sexual ones. They aren't conscious choices. They're an unconscious choice that our brains make for us.

Im one of those who everyone wonders about. Lives alone and always has. No kids and no "man" around ever. Im the first to admit that im a dyke. Hell I even wear the tshirt As to how I came out. I didnt. Everyone just got to know that i was not into guys. The first time I remember it being a issue for me was when i was like 18 and a boy asked me out. I said no thank you because i dont have sex with guys. That was like a long time ago and its still the same.
