this is a fascinating subject which is why i love being on the njc list even if it means i have to scroll through lots of other less interesting conversations...
i respect those who have told us that they knew they were gay/lesbian at an early age & take that to mean that it is most definately an issue of nature...biological...of course in the end it really doesn't matter why anymore than heterosexuals should have to answer why they are the way they are... however it seems to me that if this was able to be proven in some way that it is biological that this would help to quiet those who consider being gay/lesbian a choice & in the case of some religions something that is a sin...in theory anyway... on the other hand i do know of at least one friend who at a point in her life considered dating women because she had several bad relationship experiences with men...well what she hadn't figured out yet is that her bad experience was with her father & she was just following that pattern that many do until the connection is made as to why we go for unhealthy relationships & how we have imprinted love...so what i am saying is i guess in some instances it can be something that one chooses though this might be only be considered a choice for someone who is actually bisexual rather than gay/lesbian or heterosexual? anyway, thanks to all who have shared their personal stories, that is what i love about this list! now i must go prepare for a show tonight & i promise to be very very nice to everyone who wants to talk to me before i go on! lol! ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
