Aha... Yes, I am familiar with that research. I misunderstood Archaea's comment.

I suppose that is fair enough but to me minor caveats are important. I'm about probabilities. I think the most common bigotry is Bayes Rule bigotry and I am pretty sure SU attends those meetings.

My comment was wholly confined to the topic of the determination of sexual preference. I believe we could have a less strident & perhaps more productive discourse on all aspects of homosexuality if everyone would be willing to admit that we just don't fully understand what "causes" sexual preference.

Suppose the poll was worded slightly differently ("Do you believe that SSA is a choice for the vast majority of gays?"). Would that really make that much of a difference in the outcome? Or the point that SU is most likely trying to make?

I can't believe you didn't even like my Bayes Rules joke. It would for me (although I didn't answer the poll and usually don't in general). I would have went from a "I can't answer that question because I don't know what it means" to a "strong No it not a choice or at least NO, I believe it is a low probability that it is a choice." Did it matter for anyone else? I don't know except maybe Creekster and Arch.

Sorry. It's late I guess. Nice job.
