My conviction (besides the religious reasoning) is based on not encouraging boys to explore that homosexual side when maybe they are predisposed to go 'either way'. But what conviction is there apart from the religious one? The only reason for making a stance against homosexuality is because God's good order doesn't have any room for it, if that is indeed the case. But if God's order does have room for same-sex relations, then on what reasoning would you want to prevent boys from learning to fall in love with each other? That is, if you take a basically bisexual boy, on what basis (besides the religious reasoning) would you want to discourage him from exploring that homosexual side? Why would it matter which way he goes? Anyway, I was worried about you listening to the "wrong" people (and that's a general homosexuality question, not just a boylove question), was because what you were implying about "learning to be gay" is precisely the same sort of misrepresentative rhetoric that the Religious Right like to express. Take your own experience. You got gay feelings without having sex. Why are you dismissing your own experience? Or have you forgotten the scores of boylovers who's Loved Boys grew up to start chasing girls? peace, Fod |
