My eldest son is EXTREMELY aware of the opposite sex. I have noticed this since he was two, when he was looking at a picture of a girl in a bikini and said ” I LOVE B**Bies!” HE WAS BORN THAT WAY.
rubbie, that’s all well and fine. But, what about the people who all of a sudden seem to “turn” gay. Are we to say they were gay all long, just in the closet, or bi?
I know a woman who appeared very into men. She had boyfriends all her life, was married to a man for 10 years and had 3 kids. One day, she ran off with a woman. I was around this woman frequently at one time, and if she was closet, she certainly fooled me. I saw no indications at all of her being attracted to women. Not to say that the attraction wasn’t there all along.
So, was she gay all along? Is she Bi? Whatever she is was she born that way?
Maybe Mark can shed some light on this.

ParticipantSure, Marion. Every gay person I know, having been out of the closet for about 12 years, has been aware of their same-sex attractions for most of, if not their entire lives. The first time most gay people recognize them is around puberty, although many recognize them sooner than that. Acknowledging it to themselves, and to other people, can take years, though, and often doesn’t happen until they are adults and have attempted to “be straight”. I didn’t come out of the closet until my late 20’s, after several long-term relationships with women, during which I was well aware of my same-sex attractions. Coming out of the closet is not a decision to “turn gay”. It is a decision to start being honest with yourself and others.
