In Response To: hetrosexuals are often discussed (lydia)

Lydia, I agree that teenage boys and girls are vulnerable which is why I also have strong feelings about adults not having sex with minor teens. At the same time if I had a son that was unsure of his identity, I would take them to a gay and lesbian friendly therapist to work out those feelings.
I think most parents feel a loss when they realize they have a gay son or lesbian daughter. There are fears about how they will be treated in society, fears about their safety, fears about the possibility of not having grandchildren etc.
There are some good organizations out there to help people come to terms with those fears.
In the meantime, just because a teen is attracted to the same sex in adolescence does NOT mean that they will be "gay" when they work out their feelings. But if they ARE and someone tries to force them to be straight, it will cause problems which can be very serious.
My "argument" is not about what adults do with minors. I don't advocate for that at all. That is called pedophilia and is criminal as it should be.
What I have been talking about is what consenting adults do and as far as teen are concerned that should stay in their peer group and if the teen is confused I would hope they get counseling.
Regarding "sophistry", there is no fallacy of logic in what I have been talking about.
