Message-ID: <1023@ihuxi.UUCP> Date: Tue, 14-Aug-84 19:47:08 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxi.1023 Posted: Tue Aug 14 19:47:08 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 15-Aug-84 02:01:28 EDT References: <3160@decwrl.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 11 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 :-).
