  Remind me of colors. Even if someone tell me to favor a color over another, I can't just change my way of thinking, purple will still remain my favorite.

  
  
  Colours is way different. Example, I like green now more because my house colour at school is green.

  Ah. I see. Thank you for explaining that. I think sexuality is a lot more complex than colors or fruit, but at a basic level it might indeed be the same.
  Interesting food for thought.
  
  As for your favorite color changing, I could think of multiple reasons why. Maybe something important to you was purple or something like that. I'm just generalizing, I don't really know lol.

  
  
  hmmm...I used to be in forests a lot when I was younger. Frogs were really cute(I still find them cute) and the serenity of the trees and plants was refreshing. Then I got interested in the occult, spirituallity, sixth sense, Psi, and such. Purple is often related to those things so that could explain why the color changed. Doesn't explain why I moved from been a forest lover to an occult researcher through <.<

  I believe it to be as natural as choosing the color of your skin. I believe it goes down to the genetic level. Nothing we can change, and nothing we can choose. It'd be hard to find proof that experiences in our lives have made us choose the same sex, although I do not doubt it plays a part.
  
  The experiences you have when your young dictate your morals and preferences in the world. Choosing to deny, or choosing to accept are direct results of those experiences.

  Self-Awareness isn't everything ^^; Human desire are still close to been just animal like any other, but their self-awareness bring in a new dimension to human.

  True, but at the same time the mind is so easy to manipulate.
  
  You see examples of it all the time in today's world. In economics, religion, politics, no matter where you go there are people being so easily controlled into thinking they're doing something out of their own will.

  It's astonishing how such little effort it takes to manipulate people.

  Do homosexual men choose to have high-pitched voices?
  
  I can choose to make my voice sound higher, but doing that 24/7 would be quite irritating, imo.

  >all homosexual's voices have a high pitch
  
  
  I can barely make mine go higher, and it hurts after a while and makes my mouth so dry.

  Obviously not, I was just making a generalization to prove a point.

  Not all homosexual men have high pitch voices. . :l And not all make their voice all high pitched, some voices are just like that.
  
  Anyways my viewpoint on this topic is that some people choose to their sexuality while others were just simply born with it and unable to choose to like the opposite sex.
  
  I mean why would you choose to lead a harder lifestyle? Being straight is so much easier than bring gay imo, I would love to be straight if I could, but I just find girls unattractive. And that's a choice?

  I've never heard of any conclusive studies, but I've read many that show certain genes correlate positively with being homosexual.
  
  Naturally, I'd say both, since not everyone who has the genes in question is homosexual, yet there is a positive correlation. Also, there's the whole deal with the aspect of the spectrum of sexuality.
  
  Hard to think it wouldn't include choice if there are so many different sexualities.

  Again, generalization. Some black people have surprisingly light skin tone; some white people are very tan. That doesn't change that when comparing black people to white people, you can usually tell which is which.
