Making a choice now is more likely than in the past. The cultural bombardment of "Gay is Okay" at prepubescent ages makes it more culturally acceptable. It will surely lead to confusion among the young. Indoctrination of gay issues to the younger children is a matter of scale tipping. I suspect the constant cultural bombardment will result in more sexual experimenting by young people. They've grown up in a milieu that pushes the acceptability of a gay lifestyle. Whether that results in more people adopting a 100% homosexual lifestyle, I don't know. I do know I've met several young male kids who at an early age I made a mental note, "wouldn't be surprised if he's gay." The son of a neighbor comes to mind. I doubt when he was 6 he made a conscious decision that he was gay. As he's grown into a teenager, it's quite apparent to me he is gay, and I don't think there was a volitional choice that was made.

It will surely lead to confusion among the young. Indoctrination of gay issues to the younger children is a matter of scale tipping. Cultural acceptance doesn't have anything to do with sexual orientation. My son has two friends who both have two moms. The boys aren't confused at all. They like girls. Both of them. They are obviously brought up in homes where there wouldn't be an issue if they were gay. Again, the issue isn't gay vs straight. The issue is that the schools have no business pushing any sexual agenda. It shouldn't be pro-hetero, pro-homo, pro-bi. Schools should focus on academics. I would object just as vehemently to someone who wanted to push a heterosexual agenda in schools. Oh, and guess what folks, homosexuality is natural. God made homosexuals. Again, I'm confident in my parenting abilities such that I am not worried that some nutball will be able to influence my son to be something he doesn't want to be. Why don't you have the same confidence? And obviously you've weighed these influences and can see how they would be able to influence your sexual orientation. Did they change your actions as well as your orientation or are you still resisting acting on them? Do you see the absurdity of your argument yet?
