You are speaking as if boys actually *decide* to become gay or not.  You
seem to be saying that homosexuality is some sort of lifestyle choice.
This has not been substantiated by research.  Instead, it seems that humans
(the population on the whole) caontain a wide spectrum of all sexualtieis.
Some people are purely gay wihle others are purely straight.  Most people,
though, are somewhere in between.

And, I also don't see how you think of this "decision" as a "lifetime
decision."  Are you saying that once a person has sex with someone of
the same gender, that they cannot still have a family and a "normal" (by
your definition) life?
