The Allegory of the Cave through history

According to Bem's E.B.E. theory relies on two ideas characteristic of gay culture. That gender differences are arbitrary and culturally determined, and that society needs to relax its sexual boundaries. Thus Bem traces adult sexual orientation to childhood preferences for sex-typical or sex-atypical activities and friendships. Typical children are those who conform to the norm for their gender and they grow up feeling different from the opposite sex,thus they will be attracted to the opposite sex in adulthood. On the contrary, atypical children who grow up feeling different from their own sex in childhood will typically grow up to be homosexual.


The sexual preference of other’s isn’t readily accepted by some people.  For many years there was an illusion that person's sexual preferences was a matter of choice. Some believe that a person has no control over their sexual orientation, whilst others view it differently.  The beliefs of some people that others choose their sexual orientation have caused them to be judgmental and insensitive towards the feelings of those with different sexual orientation.

Young people find it so difficult to live comfortably in a society which they are perceived as abnormal or different. They often resort to suicide as the pressures and scrutiny placed on their sexual orientation is overwhelming.  They often do not receive acceptance and equality among peers or others.  When a vast number of people refuse to accept that no one has control of their sexual preference but rather illusionize that’s it’s a choice often creates massive confusion.

As an increasing number of young people commit suicide every year over the stigma placed upon their different sexual orientation, society now has to wonder whether they are living in an illusion.  They begin to question whether they were wrong all along to believe that sexual orientation was a choice.  As a result of society’s critical thinking, different sexual orientation has been accepted and avenues of aid are made available to those in need.  Society is now drifting away from the illusion and now acceptance is given to those who were prior perceived as different.

Is sexual preference a result of biology, environment, or personal choice?  Unfortunately the scientists who are pursuing this question keep steadily moving in one direction, while those with an ideological agenda simply ignore the science and make up the answer they want.
