Thanks so much @eaglespirit! Glad you enjoyed reading it. I think it's because homosexuality has been so repressed, yet it's always been there. One of my best friends is gay, and I know she had a lot of struggles with this, especially when she was a teenager. My godfather was gay. He died when I was about 10 years old, and at that time homosexuality had only recently been decriminalised in the UK. No one ever said that he was gay, but somehow it seemed obvious, even when we were children. Life must have been so difficult for him.
