    Throughout my life I feel that I had a healthy and normal relationship with my parents. I battled my homosexuality for years and didn’t really come out until I was around 35 after being married and having a child and doing life the ‘straight’ way. I strongly believe, and I think this is being more and more supported by genetic science, that homosexuality is not a choice but something that occurs possibly in the womb of the mother prior to giving birth. Perhaps one of these days it can be isolated to a gene or a hormonal influence. I can remember as a toddler noticing and being more responsive socially to men rather than women. I think we humans have about as much influence over our sexual orientation as we do our eye color. I have never felt that the way my parents raised me had anything to do with it. I have a brother four years younger who is as heterosexual as they come and we were basically raised the same way in a very conventional middle class family with two loving parents.
