What do you mean by "accept" in heterosexuals a basic....? I don't believe such a drive exists, even if it did, i would not believe that it could not and should not be ignored. I disagree with the second sentence ("Yet you seem...") I don't feel that way at all.
I am still thinking about what, aside from innate homosexual orientation, would cause the boy's behavior. Tough one.
Well as you could see I did not state you had such a belief, (noted by the various "??" I placed) only that it
seemed to me that might be the case. Thank you for corrcting my impression.
If homosexuality is not a choice, then must there be genetic markers for it?
What about bisexuals? Should they also have distinct genetic markers for bisexuality?
How do people who believe that sexual orientation is not a choice explain bisexuals?
Is sexual orientation evidenced by sexual acts, falling in love (with a certain sex), or both?
I chose to focus on this part of your second post because it goes hand in hand with my possible genetic deviation theory. Always recall, I consider this only ONE of three factors that lead to active homo- and heterosexuality.
We alread know that certain combinations of X and Y chromosomes not only determine sex (XX = female, XY = male) but that there are combinations that cause other effects (XXX, XXY, XYY, etc.) such as females with male characteristics, males with female characteristics, and even hermaphrodites.
It is my belief that sexual orientation is a natural population control mechanism for the Human species, and as such our genetic codes carry "markers" for the whole range of sexual orientations...with hetero and homosxuality on the extremes and bisexuality serving as in interim bridge. This theory does not eliminate choice, since individual personality can effect behavior such that either orientation, heterosexual or homosexual, can have members with a very experimental personality leading to such things as sadism, masochism, beastiality, group sex, and even same-sex/opposite-sex encounters.
Still, it is my belief that bisexuality is a distinct orientation serving as an initial expression of population control to slow growth in a developing population, and homosexuality is an expression to retard such growth.
