I agree.  You know come to think of it.....I didn't even start liking boys until I was 10 or 11.  I know there was not a sexual attraction there yet either.  It was the idea of having a boyfriend, and maybe getting a first kiss, but that was it.  It had nothing at all to do with sex.  I have a daughter that is 14 and she has a first boyfriend and they haven't had a first kiss, yet.  My son is 9 and he likes girls, but not because of sex. So I can not figure out how people that like the same sex can say they knew at 3,4,5 or 6.

I'm sorry, I must not have been clear.  I am in NO WAY suggesting that babies are born with sexual tendancies.  What I'm saying is that it could be feasible that a neurological or hormonal issue/imbalance, etc. could not develop properly and when that person, male or female, goes through adolescence, whatever didn't develop properly, presents itself in this way.  I have spoken to many gay people and have had real sincere heart to heart conversations about this, and many of them have told me that they felt like something was different at a very young age (maybe not sexual feelings at 5 or 6) but that something wasn't quite right.  All I'm saying is ... how can you be so sure that there is NO WAY people are born this way.  I personally feel that anything is possible and when people tell me they have felt this way as long as they can remember, it makes me wonder.
