Yes, part of my first response had included an aspect y'all touched on too: especially in school, talk of sex and tendencies is a hot topic because of the hormonal changes we all go through. Plus, students can be some of the cruelest ppl you will ever meet LOL (It's no wonder to me that some of your best friends might come from that time too, as you huddle together for defense!)

Personally, I don't like the way the societal "norm" has leaned in that it's considered almost a "right" to know the sexual preferences of those they associate with... it's NO ONE'S RIGHT and I don't want or need to know what anyone's preferences are! My only real hope is that the pedulum will swing back from this horrible peak... and that I won't be around when it swings back over again!!! lol
