Okay, I think that where we are actually talking about two different things but seem to be talking about the same thing is right here: "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." What I meant by most gays knowing that they were gay at a very early age has to do with descriptions I've read where boys wanted to wear their mothers' clothing and jewelry and iron and play kitchen instead of play trucks in the sandbox, or little girls just hated being dolled up and wearing dresses. In other words, just experiencing that they were somehow different in their likes and interests than the other same-sex children they were playing with. This is a little complicated because heterosexual boys and girls sometimes feel the same way, and lots of girls go through a tomboy stage as well. But the intensity and consistency of the unlike interests in the gay children is stronger. So I was not actually implying that they were sexualized at all. I hope this explains something.
