Quote:
“Cassian says that psychologically, homosexuality is not such a rare thing among humans. Human beings are naturally predisposed to it, it is a natural behavior to engage in same sex relationships. The reason why people deny this is because our society is so ingrained with the thought that it is wrong to do so that people don’t even allow themselves the possibility of it, so thus they don’t have those urges. Ever since people were kids, they have been trained to like people of the opposite sex, so they do.” Jez paused. “Did that make sense? I used ‘people’ as in indefinite pronoun a lot there, didn’t I?”
Cain smiled. “I understand. People are straight because they are taught to be based on society’s morals. Jamie could be gay, he just doesn’t allow himself the possibility to be that because he’s been taught that it is wrong.”
“Exactly!” Jez exclaimed, glad that Cain got his point.
“To expand on Cassian’s theory, I think that human beings are not naturally predisposed to homosexuality and heterosexuality, so to say, but rather they are prone to love other people in general. It is human nature to love someone else, and the human psyche doesn’t really care what gender that person is. We love who we love, and we are prone to love people regardless of gender. It is society that tells us it is wrong, not our own intrinsic human nature.” Cain finished eviscerating the orange and began to eat the slices.
Jez nodded in agreement. “Exactly. I love who I love, and it just happens to be a man.”
