Weren't all Blacks born "Black"? Or did they turn Black once they were turned Black by other Blacks?

Therefore, there is no myth, you are simply using the broadest definition of "gay" as possible.
More females will admit to "experimentation" than males.

Very few are 100% Heterosexual in nature .. My estimate is about 15% of the total population is strictly Homosexual, about the same is strictly Heterosexual, 70% is somewhere in between, a small percentage is true Asexual in nature.

You subscribe to the Kinsey Scale Theory, thats fine, I do too. But in this conversation, im just trying to combat the sophomoric statement that sex = attraction, when in reality it clearly does not.

If you are talking raw Sex and Attraction then yes they have nothing to do with each other.

If my child acted like a normal human being, I'd be fine. But if he / she acted like some stereotype like Magic Johnson's 'son', I'd have a hard time not looking at them like they are trying to be some cartoon type character.

That all depends. If they're mixed race are they really black? Are they really white? If you ask some folks they could spend days on it.

Are any of us really who we say we are? We can't be certain without proper DNA testing. I know I'm not certain. The proof required to get an ID in this country is laughable.

I'm 28, I don't have many close friends who are in their 50s which is the age range you gave. Stop moving goalposts.

I was quite close with my downstairs neighbors. We shared a two family house and we shared a porch, so we spent many hours chatting. As one of the couples' health declined, we spent more time visiting along with their family who visited frequently. When she passed away two winters ago, the funeral home was standing room only.

Again, what is your point?

Nobody is born gay, no gay gene no dna test no nothing, it's a man created social mental disorder.
