Nope, not anymore. I had a really bad drink mixed with that stuff once. It was a White Russian but it didn't taste right at all. I blamed it on the Rain.

All of the above.

(Notice: I answered your question forthrightly. Twice now. Just for future reference.)

Okay, here’s the answer on the innate vs. choice issue. But first, a word about the continuum comment. The problem with the continuum is that is suggests linearity, or roughly level proportions, with people falling in equally along the scale. In fact, the “continuum” looks more like a barbell, with the hetero side of the barbell being substantially larger (roughly 17.97 times) than the gay side. The connecting bar portion comprises a much smaller proportion, and consists of bisexuals with some closer to the hetero side, others to the gay side. It is these people who may “choose” one team or the other. For those at either end of the bar bell, however, there is no choice to be made.

Those trying to eliminate gay marriage are, in effect, trying to influence the choice to be made by the few who are on the connecting bar; they will have no effect on either end.

I’d cite studies to support the truth of the foregoing but, in truth, I’m speaking from between my ample glutes.

Be quiet now, talk of those glutes make Napper's and Tex's nipples hard.

Okay, you're doing well, Tex. What are the studies you're referring to? (I really would like to take a look at them).

I don't have any at my finger tips. I'm speaking from an amalgamation of a decade of just paying attention to the news, reading online, and talking to people.

I'm sure others here could be more helpful. Anyone?
