Is it true that sexual orientation is fixed and unchangeable?
Partly. Sources disagree on whether orientation is universally fixed: an encyclopedia says some homosexuals' orientation is fixed and unchangeable, while other sources describe fluidity, dimensional variation, and self-reported change, and one review says existing data cannot decide the question. None establishes the universal claim as worded.
