A friend of mine who is openly gay was being harangued by a fellow student who kept going on about, "How do you know you don't like the ladeez if you never tried it, yo?" To which he responded, "How do you know you wouldn't like sex with men if you've never done it?" And suddenly the guy understood.

It's not a choice, it's not a rebellion, it's not an inability to attract the opposite sex, and it's not a political or a fashion statement. It's just a deep-seated, inborn preference about who you're attracted to in a physical, sexual way. People are wired one way or the other, and they always have been.
