Many people think that homosexuality is just about sex - sex with someone of the same gender. I don’t deny that this is often the outcome of homosexuality in someone’s life. It makes the “condition” (for want of a better term) truly evident for the individual. Nevertheless, both the gay activist and […]

I found the video above on Youtube. It’s funny. It raises some issues of hypocrisy and irony in the whole “gay gene” debate. It pokes at both sides.
On the “gay gene” issue I believe there to be no proof of a specific gene that determines homosexuality. This is not to […]

I just read a news article about a docufilm called “Expelled“.  The following is a synopsis of the film: “Expelled” calls attention to the plight of highly credentialed scholars who have been forced out of prestigious academic positions because they proposed Intelligent Design as a possible alternative to Charles Darwin’s 150-year-old theories about the origins […]

Do you believe in change?  Not just change in homosexuality but change in people in general.  Can a guy troubled by raging anger gain control of his anger and learn to react differently?  Can a person who overeats habitually due to poor self-image and a desire to confort him/herself, gain the confidence required to learn […]

So, what is homosexuality actually about?  One way to consider it is by considering unmet needs.  A boy grows up with core needs which need to be met in order for him to develop his personality successfully.  Needs such as time, talk, touch, as well as affirmation and direction.  When these needs are left unmet […]

How to Understand Gay and Lesbian People

I want to say that it is possible to change.  A predominant section of society and culture seeks to repress and deny this truth.  I am made to feel shame for believing this.  I am ridiculed for stating it, and scoffed at behind my back.  But this has similarities to how people treat someone who is […]

I had some therapy recently.  It used pyschodrama - which in my own words is simply the replaying of traumatic incidents from the past via roleplay in a group situation.  I focused on my ties with my mother.  In many ways she expected me to be the “good little boy”.
I recalled a situation when I […]

I wonder a lot about “gay identity” and its link to homosexuality i.e. is being ‘gay’ synonymous with being ‘homosexual’.  I believe the two terms are not the same.  I generally do not say “I am gay”, and I think there are a lot of men who would not state that they are gay, but […]

Just a quick post to tell you that I am going away for the weekend.  It is a well earned rest from my day-to-day existence.  I’m still thinking a lot about infantile trauma (see yesterday’s post).  An interesting topic.  I have been following the trail through pre- and perinatal pychology on wikipedia.  It links through […]
