Homosexuals are bought up in the exact same environment. Most of us are right in lock step with this sort of behavior before we start to realize that we're not quite like the other boys. Needless to say there's usually quite a lot of angst and confusion at this point. People like to play up the differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals as if we grew up in different societies and were just raised different or something, it's not so.
If your description of why you think you’re heterosexual were actually a force strong enough to decide your sexual orientation then there wouldn’t be scores of homosexual children disowned by their right-wing nut job parents.
It's
because of that same environment of censorship. It's the censorship itself which divides homo-hetero. Censorship acting as a disruptive force in human relationships does produce divisions. It's meant to divide. It's meant to divide people from a certain behavior and thoughts and feelings, but what happens is that if these things are real for humans, then it divides the humans into separate groups.
I mean did you ever think it was the homo-censorship that, although dissuades most boys from acting thus, still works to
focus the issue for other boys? I mean, to grow up with certain harmless human behavior and affections, being avoided all around you, some people are bound to feel something is
missing. I mean someone is going to notice, and not help being
able to notice that even simple gestures of affection are avoided for no good reason.
So a minority choose to hang onto that, or rather, can't help being constantly reminded of what everyone is being so evasive about. I think that kinda makes you "gay".
My point is that the argument I hear from "gay" men all the time, like "my momma raised us both the same...", so it must be a birth defect (or effect), doesn't really wash when that "same" environment
is one that is divisive. Censorship is divisive.
