I would definitely agree with you there. I don't think the nature/nurture debate is winnable, and in the end doesn't matter so much. I think one obstacle is that some people refuse to believe gay people are who they are. I think they have this idea that gay folks are just being rebellious, that they don't actually mean they are attracted to members of their own sex.

From what I've been able to understand, anyway. I do know that in my life, this attraction will not go away, nor would I choose it to go. This is part of me, and I like me, so I'll keep it all.

And I do like redheads. I think the analogy still holds- you added an appreciation of redheads. Somebody attractive will always be so, though we can learn to appreciate others in addition to our primary inclinations.
