This is what happens when you dont have Dads around to cuff a son’s head and call him a fag.
In my experience, the culture today contributes to it.
In my misspent youth, I wandered around and through many different social groups. And in what I saw in both myself and others, the urge to belong was amazing.
Now that being part of the church is no longer in vogue, the youth—and adults—of today are hunting for other places to feel like they belong. And many groups that advertise themselves as open and accepting are... well... groups that have a high amount of sexuality among them.
