The question is from two viewpoints:  one probably heterosexual, and one 
probably homosexual.  (I wish we had a suffix besides "sexual") Both, especially
the second, seem, to me, to be laced with distrust and misunderstanding.  
Perhaps this is all in my head.  

BTW:  Martha McClintock and Jerre Levy have done some relevant work on sexual 
development, but very little rigorous research has been done on the topic of
sexual preference.
