Jake

I found this article very interesting. I felt that I wanted to know Jake's story, but we may never know what happened to his uncle or him. As I was reading, some of the things that got my attention was how Jake was thought out everything he was doing. Although at times he could not control himself, he knew what he was doing and what the people around where doing. I use to believe you are born homosexual, but after reading Jake's case I think otherwise. The reason for this is because Jake was not taught that girls are suppose to be with girls, but he was influenced by his brother to like the male genital. Through the barber game, Jake eventually became accustomed to this so he became acceptive of an effection for the penis. His homosexuality came naturally.

Just curious, What do you guys think about being born homosexual or becoming homosexual? What do you believe and why?

  1. Born homosexual, but during puberty, it's realized. That was always my impression, but I had no basis for that argument until I read "Uncle". I hope it's a true story. The stream of conscientiousness POV was excellent. From what I know of neuroscience, Homosexual's brains differ from heterosexual brains, and the brain is made from genetics and the environment. If the environment was the sole root, there wouldn't be so much diversity among gays, although there is probably something to be said for an influence, such as Vince.
