Today the concept of choice in the matter of homosexuality has its adherents.

For example Julie Bindel writing in today's Guardian ,arguing that it can be a matter of choice - a choice she recommends for all feminists :"Come on sisters, you know it makes sense. Stop pretending you think lesbianism is an exclusive members' club, and join the ranks. I promise that you will not regret it."

Lots of online letters dashed off in response - generally not too enthusiastic about the notion...

It seems pretty obvious that, as with all human activities, there is an element of choice in this context, but that that is only part of the picture. As with Morris Dancing.

How on earth did a thread about Jimmy Carter drift this far?
