Well thanks for your candor. Everything I've read, and I've read a considerable amount on the subject, leads me to believe that homosexuality rears it's ugly head because of some developmental problem or abuse in childhood. In fact, I once posted an article written in a Catholic paper on the subject here on FR. The message ended up being lost because some home-schoolers saw it as an attack on their craft. I didn't believe it was, but I'll look for the link and you can decide for yourself.....

Here it is

I agree that this could be part of the reason but what about men who grow up with strong, masculin, loving fathers?

Don't know how much that fits. He had brothers. He was close to our Dad. Had male friends when little. Went to an all boys school til 6th grade. No abuse. But when in middle school he made friends with girls easier than guys. Used to try to figure it out but I don't know why he's gay, he just is. But my wife comes from a large family, I come from a large family - you get all kinds. But they are all family.
