Thank you. That was a very thoughtful response. "So are you saying that it is children who are molested by adults of the same sex who become gay?" No. I am saying that. I don't know in most cases and that probably no one does. You asked for an explanation and I provided what I thought was a reasoned explanation for the type of thing you were asking about. We know children are molested and that it effects them deeply. I noted that I find it odd that, as you pointed out, for most gays to report having 'known' they were gay at a very early age. What circumstances could possibly have brought them to being sexualized at such an age. No doubt that some parents educate their kids on the plumbing and mechanics but without some physical maturation it doesn't mean much. I saw my Uncle's cows mounting each other when I was 4 or 5 and reported to my dad that even cows like to play piggy back. The adults laughed about it all day long. My take was, "sheesh it isn't that funny...these adults need to get out and play more."
