I think mad_for_it is forgetting to engage the brian when he opens his mouth (nothing personal). This is something (i think) that is inherent (look it up mad_for_it), ie this is how a person's genetic makeup is woven. It is true to say that sexuality only really takes affect at a certain age (agreed), which does vary from person to person and from gender to gender give or take a few years. However, this does not mean to say that what you are born with, is nessessary realised prior to hormones 'kicking in'.It lies dormant until such time it is ready to be released, whatever it may be. It is frankly mind numbingly stupid(again, nothing personal mad_for_it) to suggest that people choose to 'become' gay especially when there are people like yourself crawling around on the surface of this intolerent planet. Well done for being as straight as a ruler by the way....give yourself a gold star.
