I have asked non-gay friends if they knew they were straight at the age of 5 and the unanimous response is, "I didn't even know what sex was at that age."
You don't have to know what sex is to know there's somethin' funny going on with that group of people over there.
I knew I wanted to kiss girls when I was five. There was something else rolling around in my head that I wanted to do with them as well, but damned if I knew what it was. And I didn't want to do whatever-it-was with boys.
I knew a girl in high school who, at age 6, never wanted to play pretend wedding with the boys. Only with other girls. She grew up to be a lesbian. Doesn't mean she actually knew she wanted to get her freak on with girls when she was 6... just that that's where her orientation lay.
"Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river the infidels shiver in the stench of belief.
And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late; I'm over the rails and out of the race
The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears"
