Originally posted by Jerr Conner: If it's such a developmental choice, then why exactly did it develop in me when I tried to develop straight crushes? Why did it develop in a highly homophobic environment? How did it develop when none of my peers, until my mid-teens (And that was just one person, for about a year and a half) and then my early twenties, were gay?

Without a much more complete life history and a degree in either psychology or a specialization in psychiatry, I don't think anyone here could answer that question for you.
On the other hand, maybe the temptation of "forbidden fruit" led you down that particular path.

Suppose you and I were to meet, get to know each other, and fall in love. Would you rather have me love you because I have to (genetic mandate) or because I choose to?

I don't have anything against homosexuals. I do have difficulties with the rationalizations people have for their actions or the vacillations of fence-sitters--pick one side or the other.
