: Sexuality IS something you're born with and I'm certain that we all
: become aware of it at puberty, whether it be an attraction to the same
: sex, the opposite or both.

: The question is what and whether you do anything about it and this is
: very much an individual decision. Although ignoring it totally to the
: point of complete denial (as I did for 2 years) can be extremely
: painful.

: My theory is that most straight people have an attraction to their own
: sex, but it's often so weak it would be described as close friendship
: or a special kind of bond. After all, we've all got a best friend of the
: same sex.

: I'd even go so far as to say that on a scale of 1 to 10 with nazi
: homophobe at no.1 and flaming queen at no.10, the majority of the
: world's population sit somewhere in the middle.

: To pigeon-hole someone as 'Straight' or 'Gay' as though it was all so
: black and white is to take a very narrow viewpoint indeed.

: And to say that being gay is a choice or a fetish and that's it's all
: about sex, is to be be colour blind. You're doing nothing more than
: denying a part of your own self, no matter how small it is.
