I think when it all comes out in the wash, it will be something very much along those lines. The real debate then will be whether it's a disorder.

IMO, it could be classified as such. For one thing, like many disorders, it occurs along a continum. Take depression, for example. Some people might suffer from it mildly, and have a hard time getting motivated or cry easily.. while others might have it so badly, they can't hardly get out of bed, and are under near constant threat of suicide.

Likewise, some people are only "a little" attracted to the same sex. Others might be 50/50 true-blue bisexuals... others might be only "a little" attracted to the opposite sex.. and still others are attracted ONLY to their own gender.
