This is common now. In Eureka CA recently (I lived there for a while) there was a special "place" funded by local gov't hung with "rainbow flags" (what the hell do rainbows have to do with sodomy???), ads were everywhere about it, huge signs - for Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and QUESTIONING youth. They are including this QUESTIONING crap everywhere, and if one of these poor confused kids sees one of these "gay" counselors, that's it. He's enrolled in a lifetime membership in the "gay" community since the kid had one weird thought or weird experience.
And with all the sexualization of culture, media, entertainment and permissiveness - or being pushed into behaviors - it's common for young adolescents to have had a weird thought or experience. Then they are told: "You're Gay, and you can't change." No wonder they are suicidal and on drugs. What a death sentence.
