I choose to be straight when I decided I liked boobs.

And it is not a choice what you are attracted to. However, it is a choice to act upon desires. Humans have a murderous nature, get we are not murderers until we actually kill someone.

Sexuality is defined by what you desire, not what you do. Society is prejudiced like that.

Yes, and, unless I percieve things wrong, society makes the rules, and establishes how things work.

However, homosexuality does not harm anyone who is not consenting to the act.

I chose it because it is normal and not sinful.

Of course, that would also describe homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality.

To my knowledge, it would only describe asexuality. Excessive sexual thoughts of any nature are considered sinful.

I chose to give being gay a chance.
I didn't enjoy it, so clearly, I'm not gay and thus I doubt being so is actually a 'choice'.

No, that's recognizing that you are straight.
Choosing to be straight would involve thinking about it. Someone here has a quote in their signature from the last time I mentioned this. It's not a [quote], just a Tlaceceyaya said this: "What I said".

Not according to some people here. On this page, in fact. They've tried it.

You can't change who you are attracted to any easier than you can change whether or not you like the taste of sewer water.

And they've changed since. The modern ones are based on some from the 4th century.
