Definitely agree. I think we are born on a bell curve of sexuality, and are nurtured towards the ends one way or the other (most people to straight though).
As for me, totally bi.

Quite a good way of putting it but personally I think it's more like a fairly rigid political ideology. Say far left is gay and far right is hetro, most I would think hover closer to the extreme left or right ends then in the (or thereabouts) bi progressive/centrist middle. Just looking at the animal world for example where homosexuality is fairly common, it's still quite clearly dominated by hetrosexual pair bonding and humans are no different.

That is completely true, and a solid analogy. I would think that moving to the extremes in political ideology comes from the need to defend your beliefs, in much the same way people end up picking a side in response to homophobia. For example, if you feel a 70% same-sex 30% hetero attraction split, you may end up living a 100% same-sex lifestyle out of a need to "pick a side".
The Wikipedia article on homosexual behaviour in animals is very interesting, and also goes into observer bias caused by social attitudes to same-sex behaviour. I personally think that without homophobia, we would be a lot more like the Bonobo.
