Hey Qwerty,

I know it must be tough to have someone psychoanalyze you over the web... even worse when down deep you know they are right.

Its not that difficult to do. I have known quite a few lesbians and homosexuals in my life. I grew up in the 60s and watched the whole "sexual revolution" take place right in front of my eyes. I had friends "come out" and I have relatives that have switched hitting.

The old saying "If it walks like a duck..." applies here.

I have seen quite a few ducks now. I know a few lesbians today that are living in relationships with women and are just as miserable as they were when they were with men. When they first switched, they somehow thought it was "men" that was the problem. Turns out, it was their ability to get close to men.

As for the "they are getting closer to finding a gay gene", are they are getting closer to finding the "wife beating" gene too? How about the "child abuse" gene?

Face it, you don't remember what happened to you when you were three. You don't remember the circumstance that led you to reject affection from a man. Perhaps it was avoiding something you could not achieve.

There have been studies on this and they are much closer to proving homosexuality stems from early childhood mis-identification than they are a "gay gene".

There is always a chance to pull out. Some day perhaps.

Delusions.

"Its not that difficult to do. I have known quite a few lesbians and homosexuals in my life."

How many is quite a few? You think that qualifies you to know about me, my relationships, my childhood, AND my father? Like I said... you're delusional.

"I grew up in the 60s and watched the whole "sexual revolution" take place right in front of my eyes. I had friends "come out" and I have relatives that have switched hitting."

Which means nothing...

"I have seen quite a few ducks now. I know a few lesbians today that are living in relationships with women and are just as miserable as they were when they were with men."

So maybe they suffer from depression. How am I supposed to know why the lesbians around you are miserable? I have a guess, though...

"When they first switched, they somehow thought it was "men" that was the problem. Turns out, it was their ability to get close to men."

Women who try relationships with women just because they don't like the men they've been with are NOT lesbians.

"As for the "they are getting closer to finding a gay gene", are they are getting closer to finding the "wife beating" gene too? How about the "child abuse" gene?"

What is funny about that question is that yes they have... sort of. Some people have mental conditions that make them much more aggressive. Some people are violent because it's all they've ever known, but some people are violent because they have a condition. So yes, there are biological issues.

Haven't you ever heard the saying "Never ask a question you don't know the answer to"?

(snipping a bunch of speculation about my childhood)

"There have been studies on this and they are much closer to proving homosexuality stems from early childhood mis-identification than they are a "gay gene"."

LMAO... ok. When it is proven that there is a "nurture" component to homosexuality, be prepared to point out in the study where the results rule out any genetic factors.

"There is always a chance to pull out. Some day perhaps."

Don't hold your breath.
