Also, it doesn't need a team of experts. It's obvious. The brain plays a role in every damn thing we do. Even our hormones. Orientation, nay, even our very thought process can easily be swayed by our actions or the actions of others. To say the brain has little to no role in something as basic and instinctual as attraction and the need to blow ones load in someone's hole is just fool hardy, as even in those cases, we can choose to do so, or not to do so.

Edit: Peardian, that's a form of predestination, something science cringes at and shuns immediately upon hearing it. The only thing one is destined to be is human. Nothing more and nothing less. What comes of that human is based on its actions and the reactions that are bound to come. That's called learning. Developing. You may have heard of it?

Not everything the brain handles is concious, however. When was the last time you had to think about making your heart beat or breathing while asleep?

Does that mean that if you just wanted to, you could sway your attraction so that you are disgusted by females and extremely attracted to males? (Like many gay men are.)

Sadly, it's not as simple as that.

If being gay is a choice, so is being straight. That means that at one point you said 'I want to like the opposite sex' and at any point you can say 'I want to like the same sex instead' and have it work.

Most people that claim to be turned straight are really just repressing their emotions, perfect example being Michael Bussee and Gary Cooper, co-founders of the ex-gay Exodus International that in 1979 abandoned the organization because they fell in love with each other.

If being gay were a choice, don't you think Ted Haggard, Roy Ashburn, George Rekers, Lindsey Graham, to name a few recent examples, would have chosen to "be straight" and keep with their anti-gay stances instead of succumbing to their instincts and ending up in scandals?

You must be an ignorant or incapable of using logic to seriously think it's a choice.

And yet I am with Gay Rights. Silly me. I must be ignorant.

Talk about the damn ad.

E- Yeah whatever. I said my voice on "Choice" and yet I was proven wrong from articles and your sources. Let''s talk about the video instead of being gay or not as a choice.

I thought the ad was cute and funny. I like it when I have little "Oh... tee hee!" moments, like at the end of the commercial

There's something rather eerie about the father's eyes, as if they were looking into you..

you may have noticed that articles on wikipedia are generally written with links to sources that will more or less confirm exactly what I pasted

but hey, it's easier to say [citation needed] than to actually be smart

   I've got to echo that sexual orientation isn't something you choose.

As for the commercial, I find it a leeetle bit creepy, but I'm okay with it. Most of the ads I've seen are so stupid that this is a nice change. Too bad we won't get it here.
