Also don't think its a choice. Without offendng gay people (which I probably will do anyway) I dont see why anyone would actually chose to go against the 'norm' so to speak, and put themselves through all of the **** that apparently comes with being gay (ridicule when young, homophobia etc)

I agree with this. Why would anyone make the conscious choice to be subjected to verbal, physical and emotional abuse because of their sexuality? When people say it's a choice, I want to ask those people "so when did you choose to be straight?" - I blame religion for that attitude.

I also can see where they are coming from. People develop all sorts of fetishes from experiences they had when they were younger; I can see why people would think they "became" gay because of things that happened to them when they were younger... but ultimately I don't believe that you are nurtured to be gay. It's something you are born as. I think experiences you have when you're young could contribute to how you perceive your own homosexuality and your preferences, just as your experiences as a child can give you phobias and passions...
Racism is taught. Who is teaching homosexuality? Nobody.
