- You are speaking as if boys actually *decide* to become gay or not. You
- seem to be saying that homosexuality is some sort of lifestyle choice.
- This has not been substantiated by research. Instead, it seems that humans
- (the population on the whole) caontain a wide spectrum of all sexualtieis.
- Some people are purely gay wihle others are purely straight. Most people,
- though, are somewhere in between.
-
- And, I also don't see how you think of this "decision" as a "lifetime
- decision." Are you saying that once a person has sex with someone of
- the same gender, that they cannot still have a family and a "normal" (by
- your definition) life?
