oh....yea....no. lol. there are both innate and environmental factors to sexuality, to be sure. and as such, some of us have an innate tendency towards one or the other. to use your examples, some of us naturally have a higher aptitude for math than others. to assert that sexuality is wholly a choice.....nah that's not even close to what i'm saying & i don't want it to be mistaken that i in any way agree with that.

if dude was bisexual, which i'm not even necessarily agreeing to, he decided to roll w/the more conventional sex rather than dudes. as such i'd question his salience as a new gay icon. i don't think he is or should be.
