We *are* talking about sexual orientation aren't we?  According to the
sciences of psychology and medical research, people can't choose their
sexual orientation any more than they can choose to be left-handed or
right-handed.  Of course, I always thought this was obvious anyway.  I
mean, I've never met anyone who claims to have chosen their own sexual
orientation.  Of course, some things that people can and do choose are
the levels of tolerance, understanding, and respect they will extend
to others...
