In the argument that homosexuality is/is not a choice, is there any way that both sides can be correct?

Yes (wondering how many thumbs down I'll get from this )

If you consider that although the sexual orientation is not a choice (for all the reasons that are always told), there are indeed not that many people who are 100% gay or 100% straight; there are all shades of bisexuality.

With so many bisexuals, well if they tend to be way closer to one side than the other, it's often simpler to say their gay or straight. So a good proportion of bisexuals gets to be in the shadows because of this.

Another good portion of bisexuals are near being 100% straight, and since they feel they can choose to let themselves be attracted by the same gender, they figure it's the same for everyone, and that's where the argument that it comes from a choice is born.

Because, let's admit it... you like chocolate and peanut butter; if you're told peanut butter is wrong to eat and your family will disown you if you eat it, what the hell, you won't even look at it. You might even contribute to the false message that peanut butter is wrong just so your peers accept you more. It's kind of easy, since you like chocolate too.

Same for bisexuality. I'm bisexual, and if I decide I will never be with a woman anymore in all my life, well I just have to avoid to fall in love with a woman, keep my attraction to them to myself, and here it goes, I seem to be completely male oriented, even though it's not completely the case.

And that makes it a choice somehow. But not a choice to what really moves me inside, no... that I have absolutely no say on; it's too much part of who I am.
