So is it possible or not, that someone who wouldn't normally be gay in another situation, to then claim they were gay or think they were gay because they were surrounded by lots of gay people and felt it was desirable/cool or thought it was what they were "supposed to do"?

As multiple posters have already said, there is a continuum. It's not either/or -- either you are 100% straight and you identify as straight, or you are 100% gay and you identify as gay.

Would a woman who has a sexual/romantic interest in both men and women be more likely to identify as bi or lesbian if she were in an environment with lots of bi and lesbian people? That would make sense. Would she be more likely to identify as straight if she were in an environment with only straight people? That would also make sense. Would her actual sexual orientation be different, depending on her environment? No, her actual sexual orientation would be the same.[/quote]

Oh, but my dear PP, that is not what we have been told ad nauseum by the Gay Lobby for so long now. No, first you wanted us to believe that people are "born gay," or "born straight" -- that it is as much a part of their being as curly hair or brown eyes -- and no one can possibly be expected to [i]change[/i] their sexual "orientation," (or is it now, sexual "preference" ?) in any way. So you must forgive us less enlightened ones who simply do not understand and remain so, so confused. We await the next Great Explanation.[/quote]

"Born that way" means exactly that -- people are born the way they are. Nowhere have I ever seen a memo from the All-Powerful Gay Lobby saying that there are only two, mutually exclusive, non-overlapping ways.  If you have documentation from the All-Powerful Gay Lobby that says otherwise, could you please scan it and post it?[/quote]
