And, Timmy, you said it best, my friend. I just shake my head at some of my own. I haven't arrived like others have. I'm just trying to get there...
Who is the kettle? I say that I don't get the same sex attraction and you go on some high horse about me being judgmental. I don't get you...........just sayin'

The most common reaction to this personal discovery is self-loathing and denial. Many have committed suicide. In other words, why would a young person choose a homosexual orientation at the risk of being ostracized and ridiculed and called unnatural by society?
I'm sure it isn't simple. I just don't get it.

Depending on the situation, a girl will go lesbian, and a boy will either stay straight or go gay, depending on the way that the abuse occurred. Most likely he would still stay straight.


Mothers who are dominate in the extreme, especially if the son in more submissive by nature, have produced gay sons.

I heard that boys who have a terrible relationship w/their dad sometimes end up being gay. I understand the roots, I just don't understand the end results.
I have relatives who are gay and I am not afraid to show them love. I can love a gay person and not understand the lust that goes along with being that way.

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

Gay people probably don't understand straight people's attraction to the opposite sex, either. Just sayin'.

One would think that having a bad relationship with their dad would make them LESS likely to be gay considering that their dad is a guy and all..... I had a pretty bad relationship with mine and still can barely (if at all) get myself to actually touch a man, even to pray for him. I simply won't do it.

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

I would say that much would depend on the personality and temperament of the boy in question. I would say that if we are dealing with a more sensitive/contemplative personality, the desire for the affection of a father could turn into an unhealthy sexual desire for sexual relations with men, or may make him more open to the possibility to be used sexually by men. Much would possibly depend on the relation to the father. Was the father violently aggressive or cold and distant?

Some of this could also explain the perversion of sado-mastichistic sexuality as well.
