Are you kidding? These days, homosexuality is lauded as a high virtue, and those practicing it are treated as social heroes. Consequently, more and more kids are “identifying” as “gay.” They see it as a badge of honor. The fact that making homosexuality more socially acceptable has led to much higher numbers of people claiming to be homosexual is further proof that no one is just born this way.
I'm a old fart. Back in my day, a queer risked getting the crap beat outta him. At the very least he faced a barrage of queer jokes. Had about three "outed' fags in high school. And a few more suspected. Their lives were not pleasant. Add in the stress of just being a teenager and I cannot envision any way of me 'choosing' to be a homo. No friggin way.
No doubt today, anything goes...
