I am beginning to understand true human sexuality. I believe that you know and feel what you are, sexually, at a very young age. There are children who are born intersexed or missing specific organs and their parents struggle to come to terms with options. I also believe that some people are born gay.

It is a warm summer night and shades of orange, red, and gold appear in the sky over the pine-covered hills. The sun soon disappears beneath the dark hills and darkness settles over the land.
