Line 4: − Many conservative Christians hold the view that homosexuality is a choice, not an innate characteristic. A 2003 poll done by Ellison Research of [[Phoenix]], [[Arizona]] stated that 82% of all [[United States|American]] [[Protestantism|Protestant]] ministers agreed with the statement [[Homosexuality and choice|“homosexuality is a choice people make"]].<ref>http://www.ellisonresearch.com/ERPS%20II/Release%206%20Homosexuality.htm</ref>. However, others argue that sexuality is a fluid aspect of a person's nature. Dr. [[Alfred Kinsey]] developed a scale that ranks sexual desires from 0-6, describing those desires that are neither exclusively hetero- or homosexual as "ambisexual" or bisexual. Kinsey proposed that most people are neither exclusively heterosexual or homosexual, but rather fall into the more gray areas at either end of the scale. For example, having a ranking of one would indicate that you are predominately heterosexual, but incidentally homosexual.+ − <ref>[http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/resources/ak-hhscale.html Kinsey Scale] The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Inc. </ref> Line 14:
