choice: Whether one decides to affect camp behaviour is clearly a choice. This may be the root of the myth that homosexuality itself is a choice. You decide whether to act on your attractions, but you don’t decide your attractions. Homosexuals can no more choose to be straight than straights can choose to be gay. Religious con men claim otherwise. I have read four books on these religious conversions given my by the evangelist Dr. Terry Winter. What they call a "cure" amounts to white knuckling, marrying and then backsliding, putting the wife through hell. The attraction to the same sex does not diminish. All that diminishes is the frequency of sex with people of the same gender. The attraction looms even larger from the repression. You end up with two ruined lives from his hubris.
Imagine it were possible to easily change your gender or sexual preference. Why would you want to mess with something so fundamental to your identity?
