More evidence that it is as I – a straight man – have long thought. Being gay is not a matter of aberrant choice, or sinful predilection. It is the physiology of the brain. It cannot be willed away, nor can it be encouraged or discouraged by parental intervention or psychotherapy. Gay men are, indeed, born that way. God’s will, and who am I to judge? Conversely, the hypothalamus does not need its own flamboyant parades or prissy, frolicking TV shows.

Frankly, I’m bored with all vicarious depictions of sex. Let’s all – the whole dogdarn human race – just change the subject. Thank you very much.
