I've shown you the latest science, Dave. The latest and largest study, that doesn't support your thesis.

Any sexual behavior is a choice, whether it is to go whoring, devotion to a spouse, hitting up a sheep or anything else. Assuming sexual orientation is equal to a choice in sexual activity is simply to remove morality from the equation all together. Morality involves conscious consideration and choice making.

Obviously we can see kids who seem to have more or less testosterone and so it supports the idea of a biological orientation at least for those kids, noting these greater or lesser (from the norm) kids are a tiny fraction of the population.

In modern times, I see sexual orientation being assigned to infants or to little kids who want to play dress up. Then I see the same kind of cultural sexualization process being acted out, as it has throughout history but at a much earlier age and absent the concept of deviation from the norm. Maybe that is because modern sexualization of kids condones deviancy (a word that has become taboo).
