[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused by this thread. It's seems contrary to the message we've been getting from the gay community for years. Namely that being gay is not a choice, a person is born gay or not, and external factors cannot influence gayness or "turn someone gay".

That doesn't seem to be true though in light of this discussion. [/quote]

I view it this way:  I'm attracted to what is between a person's ears, not the legs.  It's entirely possible that the teens are exploring who and what they are; the same can be said of many adults.  This discussion can come across as making it seem like a choice, but it's not.  Who you are is a product of genetics and experience, and because experience evolves, you evolve.  Teens are dealing with crazy hormones, peers that are frequently more important to them than parents and tough decisions about who they will be and what they will do with their lives.  Sexuality is very fluid for some, somewhat for others, other teens may be absolutely certain.  It doesn't matter though, all that matters is that the person is accepted for who they are, not who others want them to be.[/quote]
