I agree almost totally with everything AvidUser has said:

* I also believe people's sexuality is determined in the womb.

* I also don't agree with discrimination and hate against homosexuals.

However, where I perhaps diverge is that I don't believe sexuality is a matter of polar opposites, of heterosexual <-----> homosexual. Although AvidUser doesn't say that, that's what comes across to me.

I believe that sexuality is more like a spectrum.

heterosexual --------- bisexual --------- homosexual

I believe people can be anywhere on that spectrum, and that there are a lot more people who are somewhere in between than there are people at the absolute opposites.

I have lots of friends who've kissed or had some kind of sexual experience with someone of the same sex but who define themselves as heterosexual. I have some friends who define themselves as bisexual, and others who define themselves as homosexual. I even have a friend who defines herself as homosexual, she's a lesbian, she has relationships with women, but she has also had short-lived flings with men she's been attracted to.

I don't think that it is possible to pin a label on people so definitively as totally 100 per cent gay or totally 100 per cent straight.

I have no problems whatsoever with people's sexuality (or otherwise, there are also people who define themselves as asexual, they don't desire sexual relations with either sex).
