Patient discussion about homosexual.

Q. Is this a malady if i am homosexual? because i feel sometimes very unhappy and outside the society... Some people would say - "oh yes", other could say: "i don't know, but i think this is not so common or normal", "homosexual? even the rats don't do it in the laboratories", "they should be exterminated", and so on. In fact we hear probably more bad stuff, than something else. My brother is homosexual and was very long depressive, because he could not tell it to our parents. Perhaps he is still depressive - a little bit from time to time. He lives with his partner. I do not pretend to have the key about it, nor the why nor the "how it comes". I share here with you what I have been taught some years ago. I can live with that. It makes for me sense. I know that many of you will not agree with it, but as long we have not a better explanation...

A. Most psychologists, social anthropologists, psychiatrists, and even many historians these days agree that most of us are bisexual, when we are born, with some strongly heterosexual, and some having strongly homosexual preferences and it is societal pressures* which influence the ultimate expression of our sexuality with that majority. Much of this derives fron Christianity*, and the Roma Catholic church still regards homosexuality as a sin, even though they have now accepted evolution as fact. In the USA, most Christians still believe in the literal interpretation of the bible, with a creation, heaven, and hell. Associate with others like you. Consider moving to a place more accepting of homosexual lifestyles, such as San Francisco, Sydney, Australia, (even Melbourne has an exclusively gay pub [I don't know how they prove it] ). It is estimated that around 10% of the population are homosexual. BTW, "homo", means "same", as in homogenous. Lesbians are female homosexu
