That does surprise me.  Now I'm curious-- what {does} made someone gay? • Merely

Basically, yes. But some people distinguish between homosexual (attracted to
the same sex) and gay (attracted to the same sex and itentifying themselves

Not sure what you mean here John - how does a heterosexual opt into the gay
lifestyle? Do you mean all the traditionally gay "swishy" things (or if
female, dykey butch things), but not actually wanting sex with the same
gender? I'm a bit confused here.
