By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:

• What are your thoughts on sexual orientation?
• Are we genetically disposed to either a heterosexual or homosexual orientation?
• Can one change their preference for relationships with a particular sex?
• Be sure to back up your arguments with information from the textbook or other reliable sources. Since this is a somewhat controversial subject that may generate strong feelings, please be respectful of your classmates' responses.
