Survival instinct discounts the choice theory I feel, as you only have to look at England when the death penalty was still a punishment for homosexuality, you'd think if it were a choice that people would just go straight, for the love of wotsits. However, they didn't, and that says something to me.

I also agree with this:

The current "fad" seems to me to be about genuine fluidity of sexual orientation that people could not express in previous, more oppressive times - ie, it's not about choosing at all, it's about having freedom from having to make choices based on what one currently finds attractive
