Yes, most of them subconscious. We are always at choice, and unless we choose consciously, our subconscious simply runs on autopilot, choosing the "more and better" version of what we've had, been, and done.

When gays ask, "Why would anyone choose to become gay?" they have a point. Few would choose so consciously. But as one of the ex-ministers at our church used to say, "we have freedom of choice, not of consequence", and "gayness" may well be a consequence of many choices, some conscious and even more subconscious, than a conscious, deliberate choice in and of itself.
