If sexual orientation is a choice, then why aren't there throngs of "straight" male scientists choosing to be gay for a while, fucking a bunch of dudes, enjoying it (that's the key part), then writing papers on it?

It doesn't matter if it's a choice or not. Can Eich claim that he didn't have a choice about his political activity?

Worried enough about posting this that you'd create a new account so that people don't see this connected to whatever your long-term identity is?
