The writer ( and regular debate protagonist of conservative author Bill Buckley ),
GORE VIDAL was gay himself.
He however, refused to be called homosexual and insisted that we are all potentially bi-sexual.
Writing for an edition of Esquire magazine in 1969, he wrote:
We are all bisexual to begin with. That is a fact of our condition. And we are all responsive to sexual stimuli from our own as well as from the opposite sex. [...] regardless of tribal taboos, homosexuality is a constant fact of the human condition and it is not a sickness, not a sin, not a crime [...] Homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality. Notice I use the word 'natural,' not normal.
This for me, explains why a lot of gay activists want schools to "educate" children to "find" their own innate sexuality. They want company. The more, the better.
