Show me some clinical data that supports the thesis that some chose their sexuality.

I never said you were a dumb lawyer. I implied that we're both out of our field here and personal anecdotes don't mean a lot.
I guess it depends on your definition of "choose". I realize my one-liner was sloppy, but I think my earlier post illustrated what I mean fairly well. IMO, people don't choose where they sit on the straight-gay continuum. There are people in the middle who do indeed choose which type of relationship they would like to be involved in, as they could be reasonably gratified in either.
