Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

Not even that; I was three years old when I was first enthused/mesmerized, the impression/infatuation was strong enough that I still vaguely remember her and that she was two years older than me and that I desperately (secretly, this was all private to myself) wanted to go to the same school as she would (didn't happen, no other connection, no idea who she was, remember her first name). It never was a choice, hetero from the start before I knew anything or had any kind of sexuality as such.
Common? I think so.

I remember having a crush on a member of the opposite sex as a kindergartener. We would regularly smile at each-other from across the room. That's pretty serious at age five. :)

Yes it's surprisingly serious :) I've heard similar from people I know too. Of course it's all individual and likely many who aren't hetero also have similar stories (I've heard a few of those too). I should also add "just in case" that I don't mean to imply that people aren't free to change or choose later on; they are and should be.

As somebody said upthread, it's not really a binary proposition, and like anything hormonally influenced it can certainly drift throughout your lifetime.
