'Although science has never proved it to be natural, some evidence suggests that it is something, for lack of a better word, "branded," into the psyche'

I'm sure in some instances that is true. Much like how Heterosexuality is "branded" into the psyche. From a very early age, children are taught that men and women love each other. And no nothing about men and men/women and women. They're brought up in a very Heterosexual society. Now, one could say that, that was Heterosexuality being branded on children. I remember following the crowd and conforming to the whole Heterosexual lifestyle when i was a teenager [eyeing them up as they walked by etc even though i didn't find them remotely interesting or arousing].

Only recently has this began to change, mainly in Soaps. Since most Soaps have the token Gay guy thrown in, which i find hilarious.

And the whole thing about it being "branded" into the psyche still doesn't explain why some Homosexuals have feminine bone structures/voices/mannerisms etc.

'Also, I do believe there have been cases of people turning away from that lifestyle'

Yes, i've heard of these cases too. Mainly people of a Religious nature. Though i saw a Documentary once were this Gay guy actually went to one of these places, to see if it did work, anyway, they put him through some interesting trials, including the last one were they hooked him upto a chair that had an electric current passing through it, and would show Pornographic images on the screen [two women, a man and a woman, two men] and everytime the image of the two men came up, he would get an electric shock. He even said it put him off Gay porn.

But surely all of this is proof that Heterosexuality can be chosen?
