You emulate the people around you one way or another. That and I think what a lot of straight people miss is being a young queer kid is actually pretty fucking terrible. You don't have some epiphany and go "I like cock!" and that's it, it's more that you spend years trying to have normal relationships and failing to find any sort of spark or attraction, or you feel things for your friends and beat yourself up because you don't know what's going on other then that you're NOT supposed to think Andy looks pretty cute in those shorts. You spend a lot of time questioning yourself and feeling alienated and lonely. Like when I was a kid and I felt anything for anybody of the same sex it felt like a bullet hit me. I didn't want that. An example of this, once I turned on gay porn because I was trying to "test" myself. Like, "oh I'm totally not into cock, I'll watch this and that'll prove it".
It did not prove it. So not only was I confused and scared, now I was also really horny. Talk about the world's most pathetic jerk.
And I STILL didn't admit that shit to myself!
I think for a lot of people who experience this kind of emotion over the top faggotry becomes appealing because it's pretty much the exact opposite of it. Nope, not insecure about this anymore! HOT STUFF, COMIN' THROUGH! DON'T MIND ME BOYS, JUST LICKING THIS BANANA TOTALLY NONSEXUALLY! OH DID YOU THINK I WAS TRYING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING WINK WINK!?!?"
