it seems difficult to say that heterosexuality is a choice. i'm a heterosexual, and i don't remember choosing to like women, it just happened. i'm not sure why the same can't be considered for homosexuality. add to that, homosexuality is not limited to humans, as it's seen in gorillas and grizzly bears amongst other animals. i think we would all agree that animals rely on instinct rather than choices.

personally, i didn't choose to be straight, i just am. so, i don't see how i can tell someone that their homosexuality is a choice.
but, say i were to believe/think that homosexuality was indeed a choice... then what would that truly say about this spokane mayor?!?! he is a "foe of gay rights" according to the article and the quotes of him seem to support that assertion. for him to deviate from a heterosexual lifestyle and choose to be a homosexual/have homosexual encounters would be even more perplexing. add to that, if this guy is choosing to be gay, then it would seem that he really deserves to be outed, as he chose to do it, rather than him just following what is natural.
