Sunday
During the week I caught the tail end of a documentary about being gay. John Barrowman was trying to find out if you are born gay or if it was a choice. he was speaking to a man who had made a considered decision to be straight. He had married and had children. The man argued that just as you can give up smoking, even if you still crave a cigarette - you could give up the gay life style. John pointed out that smoking is bad for you, being gay shouldn't be. I felt really sorry for the man...and sorrier for his wife.

I saw that too and thought it was interesting. Just because you don't engage in gay "behaviour" doesn't mean you aren't gay - it means you are celibate. Ask many smokers if they lose the craving once they stop smoking. They often don't. Besides, smoking is an addiction and a habit and I wouldn't think your sexuality is the same thing! Who is he trying to kid? (his poor wife...)
