chapter and Tim raised some very interesting questions through Chris. I guess the first would be:
Are you gay even if you don't admit it to your self? Chris didn't think of himself as gay, just that he loved another boy. When he finally admitted to himself his homosexuality, he had felt an almost immediate satisfaction. But does it make him more comfortable with his his gayness? I guess time (and Tim) will tell. And is it the next step in publicly admitting his sexual orientation?
How important is it to accept within yourself your orientation prior to facing the world at large? Do you have to be in love with someone (or at least in a relationship) at the time to fully accept your feelings and desires?
Chis's musing about Mr Trantor was also throught-provoking. If Mr Trantor is gay and molested his sons, and Chris admits he is gay and is attracted to one of his sons, does that mean Chris could be like Mr Trantor? At what point does a boy lover become a predator?
Tim, this has raised questions in my mind that I am not sure I can deal with right now. I will drop you a line in a little bit.
Hugs, Charlie
