Here's more food for thought, it's from a teenage male who's recently accepted himself for being gay:
"There are two types of gays out there. Those born gay, and those who decide to be gay through experimentation. I can say I was born gay, I've known for awhile that I've been gay. It's just something you know and its not a choice. Have I had sex with another guy? No, well unless you count oral then thats a whole different story that I won't go into now. Its just the way it works. I mean its not like I have a choice in the matter. Do you know how easier it would be if I was straight? I mean I wouldn't put myself through all the bullshit and opinions that other people have of homesexuality if it was a choice. However, the experimentation one is more like a choice. Usually it is based on some curiosity."
Someone asked him "This is new... when did this start?"
He said, "Pretty much realized it since I was twelve. I just had to come to terms with it and accept it. Denial I guess." I don't know how old he is exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's around 17 or 18. But it's interesting that such a thing manifested when he was so young, no? It showed up right around when sexual thoughts and hormones typically show up for boys, that preadolescence stage.

It's easy to tell someone, "Oh, you're just being a baby. You could do it, you just don't want to so you can make it harder for yourself and have an excuse in failure and special priviledges." But you can bet it's much, much different in the eyes of a gay person...
