To define the terms i would consider hetrosexual as being attracted primarilly to those of the opposite gender, homosexual as being attracted to primarilly those of the same gender, bisexual would be to varying degrees attracted to those of both genders and I think is somewhat of a sliding scale from largely hetrosexual to largely homosexual to somewhere in between.  Asexual would be just not interested in sex.


I don't really think sexual orientation itself is a choice.  I am not sure if this is a result of genetics, early envionment or something else entirely.  I am primarilly hetrosexcual and I don't think I could ever learn to become gay.  I also believe those who are gay saying they just are not attracted to those of the opposite gender and were born that way.  As for behavior their is some choice as someone for example (regardless of orientation) could choose to become celibate.  wether or not they should I don't think should be a political issue but up to the individual.


As for ethics I personally don't think either orientation is more or less ethical then the other.  I think in regards to sexual behavior what matters is things like honesty, wether or not you treat your partner with respect etc.  The gender of your partner is not important.


As for question number 4 I am not sure exactly what is meant by it but I do think it is relevent as certain conservative groups use fear of homosexuals as a political issue to try and rally their base.


As for number 5 I guess I think the labels are fine for now but I think will naturally vary as society changes....
