What is sexual orientation?

I've heard so many times it is a persons identity and etc personality but personally I don't think so cause you can change identity and personalities so wouldn't that make people easier to change from LGBT to straight and to straight to LGBT? 

I have even been told this by members that are LGBT. It makes no sense to me?

    Being LGBT is a congenital condition. (developed before birth) Science is finding more evidence for it, every day. Therefore, it is not a sin, which is an outmoded concept.

    Do you enjoy sex with boys, or girls, or both?  That's your sexuality (a.k.a. your "sexual orientation")  It's not "your identity" or "your personality".  It's just that one, simple question.

    Consider your own personal answer to that question and ask yourself if that answer has ever changed during your lifetime.  You will find that it hasn't - because a person's sexuality does not change and cannot BE changed.

    Just because someone is not heterosexual does not mean that they necessarily understand the first thing about ANY aspect of sexuality.  Keep that in mind the next time some "LGBT person" tells you something like you've just recited to us.

    Sexual orientation is who you're romantically or sexually attracted to. People who say otherwise are lying

    Are these people under 30? They're all f#cking idiots. It's not your personality, it's not your "identity" whatever that means, it's the direction of your physiological attraction.
