Pink Sofa 2008-11-12T13:37:44+10:30 <p>Lesbian dating site Pink Sofa has released survey results which reveal that, despite arguments otherwise, sexuality is not a choice for most lesbians. </p><p>Of the more than 5,000 respondents in the Pink Sofa poll -- http://www.pinksofa.com/guest/your_say/post.asp?topicid=204 -- more than 60 per cent believed they were born lesbian or bi-sexual, with only six per cent attributing their sexuality to a life event or their upbringing. </p><p>Further, only seven per cent of respondents said their sexuality was a conscious choice. About a fifth of participants took the middle ground believing their sexuality was a combination of nature, nurture and choice. </p><p>Pink Sofa respondents are not alone in arguing the genetic influence of sexuality. </p><p>Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge inadvertently supported the nature debate, with a recent post on The Daily Beast blog, referring to the banning of gay marriages. </p><p>&ldquo;Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away,&rdquo; she said. </p><p>Etheridge suggested that since banning gay marriage California could forget about getting any tax payments from her. </p><p>It seems as though the long standing nature v nurture debate will continue to be discussed for some time yet. </p> jo@pinksofa.com leysha@pinksofa.com true true 561 Lesbian dating site Pink Sofa has released survey results which reveal that, despite arguments otherwise, sexuality is not a choice for most lesbians. 82 0432893645 0427878031 Jo Dinnison Leysha Penfold <p>Pink Sofa is one of the world&rsquo;s largest online lesbian communities. </p><p>We are recognised by lesbians world-wide as a strong, well respected site because of our integrity, longevity and unwavering commitment to provide quality products and services to the lesbian market. </p><p>We have one of the largest databases of lesbians in the world with an active membership of more than 100 000 women and a site usage of 6.5 million pages viewed per month. </p><p>Pinksofa.com has an engaging mix of services and community features including online dating, forums, chat rooms, instant messenger, discussion topics, polls, and international classifieds. </p> false 08 82417100 08 82417100 true 2008-11-13T10:57:11+10:30 73 true http://www.pinksofa.com http://www.pinksofa.com/guest/your_say/post.asp?topicid=204
