Did you *choose* to like the opposite sex? I'm sorry for all of the folks born straight who just don't get it but I didn't choose this - I *knew* when I was 4 years old that I liked Lisa in my pre-school class the same way that my best friend Tommy liked her, but unfortunately, I absolutely knew in 1970 that a girl liking a girl was not cool - and how sad is that for a four year old kid to know that what they feel at the core of their very being is "not acceptable". It sucks.

you don't have to act on impulses. You could just fake it like Da... I tease.

I prefer to believe in free will and that it isn't a genetic thing. Some believe it insulting to say that homosexuality is like being autistic.

I don't remember being 4 yrs old but I find it hard to believe that 4 yr olds are sexually attracted to anything. I'm sure NAMBLA would disagree

I'm not gay so I'll take your word for it.

So what now.. over turn democracy? if we throw out the votes you don't like can I throw out the ones I don't?
