I wanted to further understand what makes some people turn to homosexuality so I searched the web for answers. I found those in the form of testimonials of people who’d been in the lifestyle or had been drawn near to it for one reason or another. Each of these testimonials is a kind of window into the world of the homosexual lifestyle through the eyes of someone who knows many others who dwell there.
The people in the candid accounts did not claim that they were born that way or that any others were born that way or destined for it. Instead, they assumed responsibility for their present behavior and most were able, through therapy, to account for why they became that way.
My summary of the situation is that there are family and other environmental factors that can lead a person, during the time their sex drive is forming, to become “separated” from their masculinity or femininity. That statement comes directly from some of the testimonials. If this happens, the person can look for another way to associate with their own sex that is not healthy. Boys crave being “one of the guys” and girls crave the same thing with female peers. Instead of normal associations, the social cravings become crossed with sexual urges that have gone unsatisfied in a normal way due to a confused self image.
It is psychologically complicated and unique depending on the personality type of the individual. Obviously, it is only a tiny minority of people who develop same sex attraction regardless of how many more people experience a less than ideal home and early social life, but I do believe that same sex attraction and sexual disorientation is entirely due to outside influences and how the individual internalizes and processes them.
Here is a link to one of many sites where I searched for answers to my questions.
Thank you for your comments. Good idea. I’ll use your link in the next few days.
