Reply #11: That was a bit jokingly

My mom's uncle was a lifelong bachelor, and she always had the suspicion that he was gay. But, he took it to the grave with him. My college roommate's husband's father came out of the closet after being married for more than 20 years, so I do know that many people try to "fight it," and to me, that is more proof that people are born gay or straight. If it was a choice, why would one try to hide it or fight it.

I'm also surprised at the number of people that come out after high school. Our valedictorian did (which, in hindsight, isn't surprising), and then she dropped out of college, which was surprising.
