I doubt this makes any sense, but what do you think?

    It kind of makes sense, but the last line just seems like a way to reinforce to others that it's okay to be in denial... =/

    The main reason I think he does not know what he is talking about. Plus I am a full 100% supporter that Sexual Orientation has nothing to do with Romantic feelings.

    The beginning makes sense, though. To draw a parallel and explain, he kind of says: if one were to have sexual experiences with some sort of sex toy, they may get aroused at the thought of it. It doesn't mean they're sexually attracted to the toy, though. That's what the guy was saying. But then he goes on to extrapolate and explain and expand on... interesting thoughts, and essentially say that if you don't want to be gay, then you can choose not to be. I disagree with that, so yeah. Hm...

    It's total BS.

    Just a clever way of "explaining" those feelings of same-sex arousal (a result of childhood experiences) without actually saying you're gay.

    This line says it all: "Those not wanting to identify as gay should not think they are obligated to do so simply because they experience some same-sex desire."

    So wrong on so many levels....

    I agree that there is so much wrong with this. It just sounds stupid. I'm glad I am not alone.
