Session 31 - As a Gay Man, I think Ra's take on Homosexuality is idiotic

[Jade]

As another anecdote about modern homosexuality, there was a very interesting thread on reddit about a month ago about an 18 year old high school boy who was constantly ridiculed for being gay - and he would even overhear his parents talking about it (not meanly, just that they would tell him constantly that they love and accept him no matter what). After reaching out to reddit for help with "bullying" someone suggested he ask a friend why they all thought he was gay. Turns out, that whenever an especially attractive boy would come talk to him, he would get flustered and weird, and everyone else noticed. He still wasn't convinced. A poster suggested that he spend some time imagining what it was like to kiss a boy, and what that felt like, and if it excited him. Apparently he had never done this before - and he came back and his conclusion was "I'm definitely not straight." But it was very interesting because he had to have people hold his hand to bring him to this self conclusion... he was very, very convinced that he was straight.
