Touché. Fair question.
As I understand things to be, polls of homosexuals/bisexuals don't endorse the "choice" position with anywhere near the frequency of those put to heterosexuals expressing their opinion about homosexuals/bisexuals.
That's what guides me. The question doesn't apply to me, and I don't think it appropriate to project my beliefs into realms with which I am not intimately familiar. I also question that others feel entitled to do so, given the ethical concern I just expressed.
