So conversely... If I want to be gay, I can?

I am skeptical. I can't imagine not finding women attractive.

Of course. Gay is a lifestyle choice like being a vegan. No one is born vegan, born christian, etc.

That doesn't fit with my experience with gay people. Particularly when it didn't used to be so okay to be homosexual it's hard to imagine wanting that sort of hate and derision you'd expect to receive. Gay dudes sometimes marry women for appearance's sake, called beards.

Why would all this be convoluted if it wasn't real? Even with Coke and Pepsi, most people like one or the other, but not both. And that's just a soft drink. I don't think you can make someone love Pepsi anymore than the gender they aren't attracted to.

Right. Gay/straight, coke/pepsi are false dilemmas.

Certain people are more inclined to have their beliefs change, so some people can actually learn to love a certain thing (such as RC cola, or as you mentioned, Pepsi). It happens all the time when children become adults and learn to love things they hated as children (whether or not tastes actually change through one's years is highly debatable).
