Xx Not Emo xX------I find it interesting here in this thread that no one has mentioned that we are all really androgenous. You might want to google a book about it.
I studied this at school--I have chosen to be heterosexual; but hasn't everyone-(Bi, Homosexual, Heterosexual)been attracted to the same gender at one time in their lives? I was once attracted by a girl at school...it felt normal.

I have asked lots of people about this (had to to do a paper on it in school), male and female alike have answered that they at one time were attracted to someone of their own gender------

We, are formed in the womb, but we really have both organs--and hormones.
It's strange to me that no one knows this.

It might help you to explain it to your parents this way----------thoughts---theo
