Being Gay

[Emiliano]

The thing is, you are born the way you are, so how can any of us possibly know if our thinking is being controlled in any way by our sexuality, because it has always been a part of you.

Again, I know I'm asking some real abstract questions here, imagining ourselves as not ourselves and asking you to think about how you think. I don't think this is a nature vs nurture conversation. But you're right, maybe it is.

I can certainly think of examples in my own life where different experiences, or a new self awareness changed the way I thought about things - myself, the world, how I fit in to it. Maybe it's a personal trait of mine, but I like thinking about how I think and how other people think. Perspectives and motives interest me. If that's not an interest of yours and if you don't think experiences shape self, that self is in most ways stagnant from birth to death, then I'd agree, there is very little point of reference.

Haha, maybe I'm just not being very clear with what I'm asking also. I have a tendency to do that.
