Sooner is correct. We're talking about PREFERENCE. Besides, absense of preference itself isn't a choice. Try to weasel all you want; Waters nailed it. For some people it's excruciating to just come out and admit what's self-evident--sexual preference is not a choice. It's easy to see why people can't bear to admit that.
