I find it interesting that the most tolerant and benign utterances always come from people whose unspoken message is "There is nothing wrong with homosexuality, but, secretly, I am really glad that I am totally straight".

The sooner it is acknowledged that sexuality is not a discrete (and I do mean "discrete", not"discreet") gay/straight phenomenon, the more understanding there will be.

Hands up every person who can honestly say, hand on heart, before his/her Maker

"I have never, at any time in my life, felt the faintest glimmerings of sexual desire for another person of the same sex".

Right, nobody.

So being "gay" is merely being at one end of the continuum. Being "straight" is merely being at the other. And in between there is a lot of grey.
