"The ability to put on a shirt that isn't neon orange whilst wearing jeans is not the hallmark of homosexuality.

Wanting to have sex with men is the hallmark of homosexuality." The problem is that you're wrong. It absolutely is that way.

Sexuality -- hetero, homo, whatever -- happens when you are attracted to someone. Your appreciation for beauty passes a certain threshold and triggers the mating instinct. Exactly what you find beautiful is a result of a combination of traits. The relevant one for homosexuality is the appreciation of your own gender's beauty. That is also the trait that governs whether you can be trusted to dress yourself before a date. Homosexuality, heterosexuality, neither is a toggle switch. They're complex interactions.

Some people are asexual, with no attraction trait high enough to be attracted to anyone. Some people really appreciate sheep (and not the were variety either). Some people are equally attracted to males and females, some are mostly attracted to females but can still admire a handsome man even if they don't want to have sex with him. Some men can't even look at another man without being revolted to the point of wanting to vomit. Some men see women that way while having zero attraction to men either. The situation is not and never has been as simple as having a switch labeled "hetero" on one side and "homo" on the other.
