I have a theory about people who eventually call themselves "gay." My
theory may be all wet; but I need some feedback from people who knew
now-gays when they were infants and young children. The feedback needs
to be about whether these infants and young children deviated from
what   _the parents believed_ and/or what the community conveyed was
"male enough" or "female enough."

My theory is this:  The parents' and their community's narrow view  of
"maleness" or "femaleness" made life very difficult for the child who
knew that he or she could not fit the gender stereotype, and that after
many years of straining to be true to the self _and_ measure up to
societal expectations, the individual finally just gave up and opted out
of the "straight" society that had rejected his or her unique set of
creativity and personality traits, and opted to enter a society that was
more accepting of the true self.

Give me  some feedback.
