Multiple Choice

• B) Aaron, you silly boy! The only way a person can change their sexual orientation is if they have a procedure to surgically alter the lateral geniculate nucleus of the hypothalamus, because that is where sexual orientation is controlled!
• C) Well, Aaron, you are only partially correct, because only with the use of hormone pills can a person truly change his or her sexual orientation.
• D) Aaron, you are such a nice guy, but you are wrong. There is really no evidence that a person can either choose or voluntarily change their sexual orientation.
