This video kind of confuses me. I mean, I understand how homosexual people would be inspired by this, as no one can discriminate against their 'choice' anymore. But I kind of hate the idea that we are 'hardwired' sexuality-wise.

I dunno if I would call it 'hard wiring' as much as I would say they are more inclined to be.
Because its not a fact. It states that they are more likely to due to the develoment of the brain. So there is no sure way to say that they will or wont be gay.
I still think that there is a develomental piece to it in the womb but also a combonation of nature and nuture together. There is the Kinsey scale and people will slide up and down it.
Though even if it would be a relief to a lot of people if it was found to be develomental I would quite sad really. Because then they would being throwing all this money into pharamcy research to find a way to "prevent" developing babies becoming gay.

Calling it a "choice" is as much nonsense as asking people why they "chose" to be left-handed.

So is 'sliding up and down the Kinsey Scale' developmental as well? Like, if your environment and fetal conditions were just the slightest bit different, would you be more affixed to your Kinsey?
I think sexuality is a pretty complex concept. Like, I would never have considered 'bisexuality' if my lesbian friend hadn't come out of the closet. (She has now slid down to heterosexual.)
