An inordinate number of prisoners self-identify bisexual or homosexual on leaving prison who self-identified as straight going in. In one study of 142 prisoners, 24 changed their sexual orientations while in prison.

Got a link to that study?

That makes no sense at all. In our lives we make TONS of choices that cannot be undone. That's just stupid.

Uh, that is what you claim that study showed. You know, first they chose to be straight and then they chose to be gay. So which is it?



The numerous studies of twins on the subject must be considered as scientific proof that it is non-genetic, and therefore a choice

This isn't an either/or type of thing. It is very possible for something to be non-genetic and still not a choice.

Besides, the twin studies show that there is a significant role that genetics play in sexual orientation. It isn't the only factor, but it is by far the largest, especially for men.
