wow, what happened on this thread?
Good point, sounds totally reasonable. And the ones that do claim it's because of what happened to them, just because everyone is unique, react the way they do because that's just ... hmmm. Too many variables. Everything about people depends on interactions of biology and environment specific to themselves. No answers. How annoying. But that's what keeps things interesting I guess.

It's a strange and mystic Tibetan virus that comes from the rare but dangerous Tibetan Snow Crocodile. Any time a Tibetan is eaten 4.5 Europeans become homosexuals and 2.5 Americans become homosexuals. I read it in a mountain climbing book, so it must be true.

tolerance anyone?
I didn't see too many facts stated here, and yet judgments being made and speculation?
why do we always have to find a reason for something?
just accept people for who they are. the real person is on the inside. - 72

Why? Because people like to understand things. I don't see why people's own experiences shouldn't count as facts either. We hear the facts of their lives and see how those fit with what has been discovered or researched scientifically. Without both, we don't have the whole story.
Some people are in pain, confusion, why is it so bad to try to understand what's going on?!

You are a scoundrel of the best sort!
Gays who have the emotional and physical instincts of their opposite gender are genuine people and ought to be respected for who they are, and they should be given all the rights due any other member of society. People who parade their "gayness" for any variant of rebellion are nothing more than immature children and ought to be ignored when they throw their socially repugnant tantrums.

I hope you don't find me 'repugnant'
Sorry, tantrum. I thought of you as I wrote the word. Never fear, pal, you're one of my heros.

You have got to be joking CaffleWheese!
Why are you so judgemental when potentially a family 'member' may or may attempt to blindly and latently get into your shoes?
Who cares?
Why do you feel so insecure about other people's sexuality?
Doesn't the great book suggest that you turn the other cheek?

I don't.
They are my family and I love and respect them.
If you re-read what I wrote, it wasn't accusation. It was statement of observation and based off their words, not mine.
That being said: they are great people.
Thanks for jumping in my shoes and telling me what I think.
