I'm sure that homosexuality has a lot to do with who we are as people and the things that we are exposed to when we are young. When I was young (geez, I must have been about 7 or 8 at the time), I was at a friend's house. We were playing hide-and-seek and inadvertantly stumbled onto his dad's nudie magazines. I think that event sealed the deal on my heterosexuality. On the flip side, one of my best friends was straight (or didn't know for sure) until we were in the seventh grade. (Disclaimer: if I sound either pompous or ignorant, I apologize.) In his case, he was raised mainly by his mother, and didn't really have a strong father figure in his life. I'm not saying that that was the determining factor, but I do feel that it may have had some influence. Overall, though, the important thing is that we are comfortable with who we are and not afraid to admit it. Happiness is key, and the easiest place to find happiness is in ourselves. I think that the sooner you can come to terms with who you are, the better. (Do I sound like I'm imitating Frasier?)
