Personal mythology

[fpb]

Everything I find written about practicing homosexuals intimates that they were aware of their "difference" from an early age, and certainly from their teens. But in my own experience, the two homosexual men I knew best only turned to their own sex in their mid-twenties, after considerable experience with women. And I would like to be sure that this business of young teens being already gay is not a matter of retrojection and personal mythology. After all, there has hardly ever been a teen-ager who did not feel "different".

children will be bullied on the grounds that they're gay regardless of whether they are or not
If this is your point, this means that your whole strand has nothing to do with what I was trying to say in the original post.
