When anti-gays think everyone could choose to be gay, it makes me wonder just what's going on inside their head

I'm going on Howie Kurtz's Sunday morning show on CNN, and the other guest is going to be far-right radio jock Dennis Prager. The topic is gay marriage, and why the media hasn't made a big deal out of the decision in California. I googled Prager, and gay marriage, and came upon an article he wrote last month. Putting aside for a moment that the great defender of marriage, Mr. Prager, has two divorces under his belt, what I found really interesting was this paragraph:

Suffice it to say that, contrary to the sexual know-nothings who believe that sexual orientation is fixed from birth and permanent, the fact is that sexual orientation is more of a continuum that ranges from exclusive heterosexuality to exclusive homosexuality. Much of humanity -- especially females -- can enjoy homosexual sex. It is up to society to channel polymorphous human sexuality into an exclusively heterosexual direction -- until now, accomplished through marriage.
Oh really? See, I've had a theory for a while. The only people who think that most of humanity could go gay or straight are people who themselves could go gay or straight - and they just assume that everyone else is just like them. People who are predominantly straight don't need society to "direct" them to the heterosexual side of things - it's what they prefer anyway. If you need someone to coax you not to have sex with a man, you've got bigger issues than what's happening in some court in California.
