I am not gay or lesbian, but went a university music school as an undergraduate in which there were many lesbian and gay students, often some of the best musicians.

You are correct. The more that gays and lesbians open up to everyone else, the more straight people will realize that being gay or lesbian is really not so unusual and certainly not a problem anywhere but in their own minds.

Thanks for telling your story. When it comes to sexual preference, we are what and who we are. Nature decides.
