Homosexuality
I remember with I was ten years old and first realized I was gay. Being attracted to the same sax was not something I was proud of; so I didn't tell a soul. I did not understand why being gay was such a big deal to everyone. I can recall going to school and hearing trash talk about gay people and how they are so nasty and dirty for "choosing" to be with the same sex. Now almost ten years later my life is an open book. The reasons behind homosexuality are still up in the air. There is no clear reason why we are the way we are. I know it will take something close to a miracle for people thought out the world to understand homosexuals do not choose to be same sex oriented. Many psychologies and people in general are studying this issue and no one knows when we will find the exact reason.
