You know, there isn't anything, anything that anyone could have told me or showed me in high school that would have prompted me to become sexually interested in males.

That's not the point of the exercise. It's to get you to "tolerate" those who do, and more importantly, hate those who don't tolerate those who do.

Well, I'm doing my best to tolerate both the tolerant and the intolerant, I guess and whenever I find myself using the word "hate," I try to figure out what it is that's frightening me and then try to overcome that fear. I know it probably seems selfish on my part, but I just don't see any personal advantages to hate anymore. ;-)

There is nothing new under the sun.

As Pascal noted 400 years ago: Those who indulge in perversion tell those who are living normal lives that it is they who are deviating from what is natural. They think they are following a natural life themselves. They are like people on a ship who think it is those on shore who are moving away. Language is relative everywhere. But we need a fixed point for those who are moving aboard ship. But in morality, where are we going to find a harbor? (697-383)
