    You know, since the subject came up, I'm just going to say something on this topic. Not many people know this about me, but I have a grandma whose been with her partner since 1981. She's grandma to me. My grams was married to my grandpa and had 2 children, my mom and uncle. My grandpa was a Jehova's Witness and very harsh. My grams was Lutheran. They had a very toxic relationship. My grams left him, but because of his religion, he got to keep the kids. Grams never trusted a man again. She went gay by choice and said it was the best thing she'd ever done. My cousin in Oklahoma dated girls all through school, but hated that he could never be on the same page with them. He couldn't stand the monthly cycles either. He thought it absolutely gross. He says he "came out of the closet" choosing to only date men. My cousin in Colorado has dated both. He couldn't decide. He also says it was his choice to choose women and married one. He's happy, now.
    All three of my family members say being gay is a matter of personal preference. No one is born this way. I can't and won't say the same for Transgendered people, though. My personal opinion would be that it's psychological or their upbringing, but I don't know for sure. Each one seems to experience something different.
    Just wanted to throw this out there.

    I think it is a choice with some and not with others. My wife has a cousin (eldest boy in the family) who was "different", even as a child. While all his male (and some female) friends/siblings/family were playing with cars, toy guns, army, etc, he was playing with my wife's sisters dolls, dresses, etc. He is still that way and openly gay. He isnt trans, thinks hes a guy, but has absolutely zero interest in girls. I have 2 different friends I grew up with who were the same way despite having older brothers who are straight.

    I think some of it is genetic. The cousin is the eldest of 4, 3 boys and one girl. His mom isnt openly gay, but I would be EXTREEMLY suprised if she wasnt due to numerous factors. Same thing with his sister. One of my friends is a middle child out of 5 (3 girls, 2 boys). Two out of the 5 are openly gay (my friend and the youngest girl). All of these were susspected of being gay from a very young age, too young to even be interested in or have knowledge of those kind of things. For them, I firmly believe, they didnt have a choice in the matter.

    My sister and several others I know are a totally different story. It was 100% a choice. My sister was boy crazy growing up, but as an adult, she has dated both men and women.

    As you said, everyone experiences it a little bit different.
