J Crew AD blows gender roles

[kitty1]

Children that grow up homosexual do so because of nurture issues (usually the result of some failure on the part of the mother). Parents who have, for example, one child who grows up to be heterosexual and another who grows up homosexual clearly allowed the homosexual child free access to stuff that made them gay (like pink nail polish where boys are concerned).

See?

I used to strongly believe in the nuture side of the debate (nature vs nuture) but I have since changed my mind. I believe it can be a combo of both , but I also think it can be nature alone. I believe one can be born with homosexual tendencies and whether the parents choose to encourage or discourage these tendencies can strongly impact the child's sexual preference. A male relative of mine who is now openly gay came out of the womb with female qualities/characteristics. He loved girl stuff from the start. He would only play with dolls, other girl toys and only wanted to engage in activities typically associated with females. He even had a slight lisp and feminine gestures/body movements. He was always overly sensitive, dramatic and quite frankly a pussy(run from spiders,etc.) At first the parents thought it was just a phase and never made a big deal of it and never told their son "that's only for girls". But they certainly didn't encorage it either. The rest of the family didn't believe it to be a phase and we were all sure that he would be a homosexual. I didn't say "choose to be a homosexual" because I don't believe he chose to be. I really don't. I've frequently heard gay people refer to their childhood and claim that they always felt somehow different or that they had an attraction to the same sex from their earliest memories. Perhaps if his parents insisted on sports or nutured activities typically associated with males then maybe the end result would be different. Nature was the dominant facture with my relative. And, no I don't care that he is gay. I love him no matter what. Times have changed...society's views have changed...my views have changed.
