…the “norm.” We had a few openly gay students in school, and those students were openly made fun of. At the high school level, I certainly was at a stage where I knew I was sexually into both sexes, but I didn’t have much dating or sexual experience with either. I was also afraid that I would end up liking one sex more than the other after experimentation, and that would lead to me “choosing” the sex that I preferred more as my sexual orientation.
