When did you realize you wanted to be free?
I was living with a fellow, and the relationship had become hellish to me. At first it seemed just like some kind of personality conflict I wanted to be rid of. Mentally I was a wreck. My work was suffering. I think now that all the anguish and suffering were inevitable. I started to realize that not only did I want out of this homosexual relationship, I wanted out of the whole mentality, even though these feelings had been going on for a long time, ever since adolescence, actually.
The beliefs about homosexuality are that some backgrounds may produce a tendency toward it, or that it is an "inborn" trait. But now I see that homosexuality, even if it is considered to be caused genetically, has its roots in a false view of man. Like all mortal mind's claims, it is an educated belief, something consciously or unconsciously consented to or believed in. I didn't see this at the time.
