At a time when bullying and teasing in schools is a growing concern for educators and parents, a new study finds that students who are gay or thought to be gay are most likely to be targets -- even more than children who are overweight or have disabilities.

I know gay people who are still struggling with it. Gays tend to hate bi-sexuals because it shows that there is some choice. Rock Hudson for instance was a big womanizer as a youth, only to have a gay experience later in life that he really liked. There are thousands of strange fetishes that can only be learned and positively reenforced through practiced. Many gay people have been raped or had sexual encounters at a very young age. Young Men can get horny very easily and have sex with anything. This lable of gay is a powerful recruitment tool. There are genetic influences, but there are also stronger influences on behavior from the environment and personal choice. To say that gay behavior is completely genetic flies in the face of all reason.
Yea. Cant detect a "lisp" in an article.
No offense... But calling fellow "boys" in high school isnt exactly manly, Using the term "guys" is more appropriate. Like "Those guys are gonna kick your a$$". I have a feeling this guy is infeminite. Just a hunch...not justifying the bullies at all but to say he was just sitting there and they all cracked on him without acknowledging the he himself talks, acts or looks like a girl?
And an even better case can be made that once the underlying trauma is dealt with the 'homosexual' can return to a normal healthy life.

One thing I know from personal observation is that it isn't always early orientation that makes someone decide to be gay. Sometimes it is more of a social issue. Everyone wants to belong and have a place where they're accepted. Or sometimes it's about issues with the opposite sex. They choose one because they hate the other. Etc...
Another graduate of the Bulwer Lytton School of Rotten Writing, I see.
I disagree. No genetic link has ever been shown in a repeatable study. All the studies that did hint at a genetic link (to the best of my knowledge) have been disproved.
In any event, even if there was a link it would make the disease of homosexuality the same as the disease of alcoholism. We don't ask alcoholics to celebrate their disease by going out and drinking.

Since sobriquet means "a fanciful or humorous appellation", I would submit that that is exactly what its mainstream use is as illustrated in the above article; now, "a salubrious sobriquet" would predate both the current use and the bastardized, overworked intent of the queer battalion.
Children pick up from the general culture that homosexuality is something weird, different or bad, many say.It certainly is weird!It certainly has health hazards!
It certainly is different!
There are genetic influences,

That's right. The Gay Gene, Going, Going... Gone
I've misplaced my other link on this issue.
