Wrong topic buddy

I got into an argument with my mum about this movie. She hated it. I loved it.

My seven year old brother was the one who recommended we rent it--I think he's a genius. It's funny how we're both able to talk about how much of badass Chigurh is. He got pretty sad when Llewelyn's wife died.

I'm mostly into handhelds like the DS, and Pokemon especially. I wouldn't be what most people consider "hardcore."

I just started posting on GS because the community seems pretty cool. I also just got a 360, so maybe I can become more of a gamer now :)

I dont belive your born g#y at all I think your inflused into it because it seems more like a trend then a life choice thats why theirs a growing number because it was socially unacceptable in the pastkemar7856

There is a growing number of people that are openly g@y, but it does not mean people are choosing to be g@y. It's not a trend. If threatened with death or other severe consequences, of course it would seem like there's a smaller population out there.

I think that sexuality is predetermined at birth, while "coming out" and coming to terms with who you are is a conscious decision and is highly tempered by the environment that you're raised in. I grew up in a military family where I was predisposed to homophobia at an early age. I was told it was wrong and my dad warned that if I ever ended up as one, he'd kill me himself. Still, I always had an attraction to people of the same sex as far back as I can remember, despite my parents' upbringing. I was fifteen when I started making sense of these feelings, but because I knew how my family would react, I tried my hardest to suppress them. I forced myself to try and like girls and things like that, but the truth is, it doesn't work.

There was a point in my life where I became really confused, depressed and self-hating. I certainly didn't choose to give myself all this heartache. But I did choose to live a lie. I was raised with the stigma that I was some kind of abomination, and that helped shape how I felt about myself as I grew older. Even when I went off to college and my roommate figured me out I still tried to deny the truth. Then on my 18th birthday, I got really drunk and went after this guy I had become friends with. When everyone found out I guess I tried to jump out of a window (or so I was told...I don't really remember).

Sometime after that, I decided that it wasn't worth all the pain inside to be untrue to myself. I told my roommate the truth and even replaced my friends' broken window. I'm not completely out yet with my parents, but it's been such a relief to be open with people that support me for who I am. I may not have any scientific proof, but I'm certain that I was born gay but the decisions I've made on how to deal with it I've happily made on my own.
