I have been asexual in my life for a few months here and there. I just had a different name for it...D-R-Y-S-P-E-L-L
Just normal American Utopia...

Everything is a choice except eventually dying. But to your point I do think some people are automatically attracted to the same sex when that time in life comes and others migrate to the same sex because they can’t find a partner of the opposite sex and it just becomes easier to find a partner of the same so they can some sort of companionship. I’ve personally known people in both camps.

So isn't it reasonable to think that maybe some folks have a hormonal make-up that could make them not attracted to either sex?

Your comment about people choosing to be asexual had the connotation that people only were asexual because they couldn’t find a partner.
Just trying to clarify.

At what age did you choose to be heterosexual?
I think there are some in the second group you mention, but relatively very few. I know some. I’ll give an example. Back in college, I knew a woman that was gay. She didn’t start out that way. But, she was brutally dare raped as a teenager and could never trust a man again. So, she found love and respect elsewhere. That’s the story I’ve known with most that weren’t born gay.
So, really none have “chosen” that path.

Probably when I started finding women attractive and wanting to hump them (Last Kingdom reference before anyone gets all pissy).

Good catch on sarcasm. Glad the first comment tripped you up so much you couldn’t catch on. Let me explain further for those that need it.
The context of the discussion was if people choose to be Gay/lesbian. That said….The only true choice in life we don’t have is to not die. We all do it. Every single one of us.
Now I clearly said I believe some people are born in a way that they prefer the company of the same sex. They could choose to live life a different way in unhappiness and some actually do. We’ve all heard the stories of married people with kids who divorce because one can’t live the lie anymore. It was a choice to not live the life with another gay/lesbian person but didn’t mean they weren’t gay/lesbian. Others choose to live a gay/lesbian sexual lifestyle because they can’t find a straight partner or like the example @BigRedBuster said.
asexual people not being able to get laid is a choice that seems like a forced choice in that they want to live as a Priest/Nun or they can’t get laid and want to be labeled something so I guess that group created asexual.
I’ll remember to tag sarcasm on further posts for your benefit.

Surely there are asexual people who actively choose it.
There are also certainly others who through no choice of their own have little or zero sex drive at all, and instead of 'want to be labeled something', find comfort in a community knowing that they're not alone and not the only ones, when they've probably spent most of their life feeling like there's something wrong with them.

The guy is a quack and should never have been in this position.

Where in the law does it restrict talking about humping to K-3rd graders?
Why do you keep making things up?
Page 2 section 3 subsection 18 semi colon 24 paragraph 8 third sentence of the fourth Column in code 27. Or just take it as meme? I’m confused with you though. Do we take things too literally or do we not? You seem to be all over the page on this issue lately by your replies.
But Pete did say he agreed the law would kill kids :dunno and classifying the law as “don’t say gay” is disingenuous and lazy reporting. Glad we settled that.
