I do not accept the explanation that homosexuality is a "choice." In taking this moralistic stance few ever consider that they're suggesting we are all bisexual by nature. Not too many heterosexual males will willingly admit that they could sexually eroticize a man. It isn't something they're capable of doing.
Thanks for the sources you provided, Steve. I'm very intrigued by these comments. I'm going to have to check out some of these sources that specifically address sexuality.
I'm wondering, if given the right environment, could any male eroticize another man? I could seriously care less about the moralistic ramifications of this. I would tentatively say yes, because I think our sexuality isn't fully hardwired in heterosexual or homosexual ways. I think prisons provide a pretty good anecdotal way of seeing this. Also, I think that if one were put into an environment where none of this is taboo, much about the way we behave will change.
