"Gay behavior, of course, can be engaged in by anyone, and as we see in jail, lots of heterosexual men engage in it to satisfy their needs, even though their fantasies remain primarily heterosexual. While sexual behavior is a choice- sexual orientation looks like it probably isn't a choice- and how cruel to force homosexuals to act out as heterosexuals (or vice versa) just because society has silly fixations on whom adults should be allowed to love, and act out that love with."

Indeed, some of the boundaries of homosexual/heterosexual behavior are fairly vague. In Latino culture, for example, heterosexual men have sex with men and still consider themselves straight, unless they ONLY have sex with men.

I have two male dogs, who seem to be in a long-term loving relationship with each other. Of course, we fool with dogs' sexuality by neutering them, and I bet they would be heterosexual if all of their equipment was intact.

Of course, all consensual sexual behavior is a choice, I would agree. I do think it is important to point out that this is not the same as saying that homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. I hear this argument all the time, amazingly.
