As promised on the show on Sunday (sorry it took me so long), here is the column written by a British helicopter pilot regarding his change of sexuality. Very interesting reading.

I found two comments particularly provocative.

First he says,

Some will dismiss it as heresy. I have long argued that homosexuality is natural but abnormal, to a torrent of hostility from gay friends who refuse to acknowledge that what you are and what stake you hold in society are not the same.

And then later
Loving your own sex occurs in nature, without artificial triggers. But it is still not average behaviour. Homosexuality is an aberration; a natural aberration. Gays are a minority and minorities, though sometimes vocal, do not hold sway.
But two decades of cavorting with my own sex has delivered little that is memorable, except one super-sized sexless friendship with the aforementioned ex-boyf, with whom I spent a decade of my life; numerous hours of internet dating; a dizzying number of casual couplings and a few trips to genitourinary medicine clinics.


This got me to thinking, given the recent study I saw that showed about 10% of gay men and 20% of lesbians say that they chose to be homosexual. This is an odd phenomenon that gets little discussion in the news today but is worth studying and noodling.
