Message-ID: <293@pucc-h> Date: Mon, 19-Sep-83 23:46:25 EDT Article-I.D.: pucc-h.293 Posted: Mon Sep 19 23:46:25 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 20-Sep-83 16:30:38 EDT References: <1371@hplabsc.UUCP> Organization: Purdue University Computing Center Lines: 14 Anne Paulson addressed her question, "Do you feel you PICKED your sexual orientation?", only to heterosexuals. I am honestly curious to have answers to the same question from any homosexuals who care to answer. I promise that I will produce no Falwell-toned flames; I honestly want to understand why people would choose homosexuality if they felt that heterosexuality was available to them, which Anne implied they did. I have never actually been sufficiently closely acquainted with any practicing homosexuals to discuss their sexuality, so I don't have any evidence supporting or refuting that claim. I also would like to have homosexuals examine their motives (not necessarily publicly) for choosing that route. By the way, I am NOT at pur-ee; I am at pur-ee!pucc-h. -- Jeff Sargent/pur-ee!pucc-h:aeq
