JOIN THE CLUB:
It's a normal thing to be afraid of ___________. The more that you get to know _________..., the more comfortable you'll be around them," .........."This is what the purpose of this club is. It's about learning to get along with fellow human beings."
Remember peer pressure: to get along, you gotta go along.
I trust that was sarcasm?
People, if young or old, cannot have their sexual preference
changed by "conditioning" or "peer pressure". A human's
sexual orientation is far more complex than a simple "gee I want
to be gay because it looks like fun and everybody's doing it"
Usually, one's sexual orientation is kept well hidden from parents,
family and friends. It appears to be one of the most lonely states
of human development. The "closeting" of one's identity has been
noted as the cause for youthful suicide. For anyone to suggest that
"being gay" is something anyone would "choose" over being the
more acceptable "normal" is totally ludicrous.
But that mentality and rhetoric does make great fodder for the
causes of both the "religious right" and morally abandoned freedom
stifling groups.
To suggest one's real sexual identity should be stifled, changed or
converted for the benefit of those that cannot accept it, is about
the most immoral and freedom robbing action anyone can
conscribe to.
Thanks
