The problem I am discussing here is not bad genes but bad choices. Most of us have sense enough not to try heroin or other highly addictive drugs. We recognize there are things, once started, that cannot easily be stopped. Such wisdom could and should be applied to sexual activity. And those whose counterproductive behavior has become addictive, it is still possible to change.
Studies indicate that about one third of former homosexuals have reformed themselves.
Of course there are those who decide at some point to flaunt their homosexual behavior, taking up the cause of gay rights and saying how much better they feel to be out of the closet. Unfortunately for them, feeling better doesn't really make it better. Beaten by remorseless conditioning at last, Winston Smith finally thinks he loves Big Brother. But his loving Big Brother only makes the tragedy complete. No reader of 1984 closes that book with feelings of hate or fear of Winston Smith.
