In other areas, sexual orientation is considered a biological matter, implying that choice is not part of it. In other locations, sexual orientation is considered a mixture of biology and environment, where both influences are present. Answer the following question:
Do you believe sexual orientation is an issue that we, as a society, should be involved in? Why or why not?
