im of 2 minds. there are many more minds in this brain of mine. but they decided to stay the fuck out to this particular discussion. actually. i don’t think im of 2 minds. that somewhere along the ‘kinsey’ scale of it might not be 2 minds. but more that somewhere along the ‘kinsey’ scale of nature. vs. nuture. im just to the left of the vs.

nature. vs. nurture? you ask.

i believe its nature. but i think nurture is a big factor in our developing homosexuality. and in eventually coming out. and believe a majority. if not all. homosexuals are born gay. we. and by we. i mean ‘the gays’. don’t come out waving rainbow flags. and singing ‘its raining men’. but i think the womb is where it all whappens. when the sperm hits that egg. wham. and bam. and its all downhill from there. to the wonderful world of gay.

oh. i wish it were that easy. i didn’t ‘officially’ come out of the closet until i was 20 years old. and after preparing for the worst. my mother simply stared me in the eyes. and said. ‘yes dear i know.’ but i know those who came out earlier. in their teens. or even younger. and know others who didn’t come out until much later in life. and sadly. those that still haven’t come out. and most of us come out when its ready for us. its not a rocket launch. all conditions don’t have to be right. but it packs about the same punch. at least to us. but eventually you realize you cant fit your square peg. in the circle hole.

its when nature. meets nurture. it’s the chemistry between nature. and nuture. and that meeting is different for each of us. the closet door opens at different times for every. single. 1. of us.

and while i believe certain environmental. and societal factors help. guide. or drag us into the world of gay. i don’t think playing with barbies. taking home economic classes. or watching reruns of ‘ellen’. will make you gay. but if you are doing those things. waving a rainbow flag. and singing ‘its raining men’. might be in your future.

but im no magic 8 ball.

its nature baby. i was born gay. so mother you can finally put to rest your guilt about making me gay. you can take credit for my obsessive compulsive. and attention deficit disorders. but you cant take credit for my homosexuality. im here. im queer. and you cant take that away from me.

i want to go back to bed.
