Thank you, and the same to you, as I am of a "both+and" frame of mind and not an "either+or" person when it comes to dealing with people.
Would it help to know that I've done extensive research on the graduate level and am not just spouting my personal opinion? I was absolutely convinced it was a permanent condition until actually doing the research at a major university in mid-life, at an age when understanding and questioning what is written are easier than when one is in one's 20s, due to life experience. That, and living long enough to see the long sweep of the lives of several individuals who made the change in one direction or the other, straight to gay or gay to straight, and as I said upthread, hearing their stories and meeting their friends, siblings and sometimes their parents. Food for thought?
Sure. Always welcome input from smart people like you. It doesn’t match my understandings from gay friends but then I have only known a few gay people well - limited sampling.
