Subject: RE: BS: the demise of the boring thread
GfS:   "People are attracted to each other for a number of reasons..that's all, and in that, it is up to each individual whether to act upon that, wouldn't you say? Nobody is forcing them to act upon it, nobody is forcing a choice one way or the other...and sometimes, or often, those people have their inclinations."

Agreed. But the issue is that most people are sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex, but some are attracted to members of their own sex. There, too, one can act on the attraction or refrain from acting. Choice. BUT one has little control over the initial attraction.

THAT is the issue. Who one is attracted to is not a matter of choice. No point in arguing the matter. It's just a fact.
