Showing Original Post only (View all)So, when did you know you were a heterosexual/homosexual? [View all]
The reich wing and Fox News believe this is a choice. Or part of an environmental thing, like growing up without a Dad. OK, I grew up without a Dad as did my brother, who has been married to a woman for 35 years. Me, I think I made that choice when I checked out my first grade teacher in 1957 with those legs in those heels.
Of course the point is that it's not a choice, as all DUers know. But it does bring up an interesting question: When did you know your sexuality?
