Responding to the question to the heterosexuals who think that sexuality
is a preference:
I did not choose it consciously either. But saying "it chose me" would
be no more then a pun. Analysing my feelings on the subject I can fairly
strongly claim that my heterosexuality is a well established habit - result
of upbringing, and I now quite consciously prefer being straight. That means
I would prefer it to being gay, cloning, laying eggs, mitosis, etc.
as a convenience point. 
   Little moral: when age of consent comes some people prefer to stay
the way they were oriented :-).
