		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;...we are asked to challenge the concept that sexuality isn’t a biologically determined construct, but a chosen one, sighting that we didn’t choose to be straight but chose to find happiness in the company of men.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

It sounds very intriguing and a book I&#039;ll definitely be adding to my reading list.  Anything to challenge the &quot;sterotypes&quot; has to be given a go.  Thanks for the info.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d definitely give it a go. It&#039;s totally worth reading and really helps articulate what so many gay men are frustrated with.

I&#039;m not so sure anymore that sexuality is a point of biology. There&#039;s no scientific proof, and asking for such is like believing in god. You have to have faith or believe in it simply because there isn&#039;t anything solid to go on. I think Mr. Malebrache really lays it out in a plain and simple theory that makes more sense than anything shoveled to us by gay activists, media, and so-called experts. You feel what you feel, sure, but aren&#039;t those feelings no more complex than say, loving chocolate chip ice cream? You&#039;re not genetically disposed to liking a flavor of ice cream so why should we blow up sexuality to be more than what it is? A simple choice or preference.

Anything more than this makes us sound like we are out of control and not in charge of our ability to make choices. 

Don&#039;t get me wrong, I think biology is the impulse but how we process that impulse is where the choice comes in.

There is nothing wrong with the female body and I&#039;ve never understood the campy revulsion that so many typical queens would hide behind, but I think the plus sides to the attractiveness of the male body and the bond between two men to completely overshadow anything I could possibly have with a woman.</description>

		<description>Hmm, haven&#039;t read (or even heard of) the book yet, but my interest is definitely piqued.  From your words however, I have to disagree with one point.  FEELING attraction to men is not a choice and I feel quite strongly that it is at least partially based in biology.  EMBRACING that desire to love men is however a choice that we are all better off deciding in favor of.  Maybe that&#039;s something in line with what the author is saying, but I&#039;ll have a firmer opinion about that once I&#039;ve read it, I&#039;m sure.</description>
