Very unusual to be compelled to go to art school - did you have a yearning for an MBA, or want to be a lumberjack?
On your other point, I’ve been close to too many gay people to count, from a humble hairdresser to the rich & famous. None of them ever wanted to get married. The idea would have been laughable. And some of them were the kindest, smartest, most gifted people I’ve ever known - nothing like these snarling pack animals who want to destroy the world.

That was the way it was for many males back in the day; but a greater percentage of lesbians always wanted also to be mothers. I did meet one gay man in the 70s who wanted to marry a woman and have children, as long as he could still do his thing. He was in the fashion industry, where several of his role models, such as Calvin Klein, have been both married and gay.

Reminds me of the point in the article above -- the author realized that regardless of whether or not one can choose to be gay or straight, everyone must choose to be a faithful partner and parent. He has the moral strength to realize it and live voluntarily, not feeling compelled by biology, but apparently by his moral spirt. Well done.
