Yes, I thought this too. Until I started reading the testimonies of ex-gays, and it became apparent to me:
What did they always know? In other words, they remember being "different" from birth but parse their words carefully and you will find that that that awareness never reached the level of same-sex attraction. The "differentness" is never ever sexualized until puberty (which stands to reason....why should homosexuals be sexually aware before human beings in general are?
IMHO, gays conflate this feeling of "differentness" into their later homosexuality as if they were the same thing.
Exactly.
I have a good friend, well had until I told her about NAMBLA, but anyway..she has three kids, oldest is a gay male, middle child a girl who is attractive and now in early 40s and a virgin - we suspected she can't admit to herself that she's a lesbian, and the 3rd child, a male who was molested by a neighbor as a child, has recovered from a drug problem and is straight. So basically a gay, a lesbian, and a hetrosexual male - one of each. She told me the oldest boy always played with dolls and other girl things, the girl was always a tomboy.
I was in the horse world and the design world and it just appears that while some gays may have had a choice, in that they appear and behave like straights, others just never would have been normal males.
