| Smoking is a behavior, as is the gay lifestyle. No one argues you can't change behaviors, but stopping smoking does not mean you've conquered your addictive personality. The root cause of your smoking is still there but suppressed. Gays can quit acting gay, but they can't quit being gay. I know many married (to women) gay men. They're still gay, and in some cases miserable.
Children do emulate adults. Many kids start smoking to feel more adult. Many Christians I know are religious simply because that's the way they were raised. I don't know anyone, have never heard of anyone, who "became" gay to be like a gay adult. |
