I understand the point that he was trying to make, but the teacher specifically made negative things equated with Stephen. While Stephen was utilizing the word "gay" as a noun with negative connotation, the word is not explicitly defined to be negative. Also, Stephen preexisted (and was the reason for) the new utilization of the word "stephen" as a negative word, so he was actually born Stephen, then his name was later defined in this fashion. Equating this with the argument that someone is born homosexual is a logical fallacy.
Wait...I honestly don't get it. It says that people started using it and it became a thing that was not even associated with Stephen after some time, because even Stephen himself used it and they had a laugh about how it was just a phrase. How could people do these bad things to him when they didn't even associate the phrase with his personage anymore?
Edit: I also recommend South Park, there's an episode about an almost identical thing. It's called "the F word" and it's S13E12.
To everyone saying this method was bad, look into a teacher who did classes with third graders and taught the reason why racism is bad through what colour eyes the children had, it's fantastic and the kids (who are adults now) to this day thank her for it. It's a documentary called "blue eyes, brown eyes". You won't regret watching it .
Oh, there you are knocking over all the pieces and strutting around like you won even though you didn't. So they are born gay but end up having heterosexual relationships for years?
Okay, let me get this straight, (no pun intended) they are attracted to women for years but stop being attracted and end up attracted to men just because they "didnt realize" they were gay? That sounds like "im straight. So is spaghetti until its wet"
That is just so frustratingly stupid, they get erections, masturbate to straight porn, and do not focus on the guy, you are too stupid to understand that people are not born gay. "Just thought they were?" how about teenage lesbians were never attracted to women, "they just thought they were." gays can also become straight, by your logic if straights can become gay then gays can become straight, its happened before.
Really,then how exactly does one become gay? I'd love to hear what you have to say... and I didn't say that they were "mistakenly attracted to women". Thanks for putting words in my mouth.
"I mean that they were never ACTUALLY attracted to the women. They just thought they were.
Now hush up and watch this:" sixteen minutes ago you posted this comment. Here is a link to a gay activist admitting they recruit children.http://www.greeleygazette.com/press/?p=9797
My comment implies that they weren't actually attracted to the women. They probably felt something and mistook it for attraction,but that doesn't mean they were "mistakenly attracted to women". And my phone won't load that link.
Just to say something
I know someone who's father was gay and married to a woman before leaving for a man.
It is called coming out, they just married a woman to try and lead a normal life. Because back then, gay marriage wasn't legal.

I'm bisexual.
I remember, specifically, during grade school, I did have an attraction to my female classmates. And then, years later, I stared developing an even attraction to men.
Y'all can sort this out however you want, but that's what happened to me, and I can confirm that I like both, but one started first. Maybe I was exposed to homosexuality early, maybe it was in the back of my head, but either way, it's who I am. And you're both stupid for thinking this is worth arguing about.
Neither of you are at the point of mental retardation, and I'd like it for you stop saying that because it's not an insult, it's offensive. But that you call each other that and like you're the victor, and argue like this, you're like an old married couple.
That's what I thought. Both of you are wrong and right.
The way I see it, it differs between people. Some people maybe thought they'd grow into heterosexuality and then left it for homosexuality, which is fine.
Some people just jumped right into homosexuality, which is also fine.
But it's not fair of you to lump everyone together and say "EVERYONE IS LIKE THIS!"
"EVERYONE IS not LIKE THIS!"
That's not equality, that's pretending everyone is the same Boring person, which is not true.

People are born whatever sexuality they are it's just some think they are the wrong sexuality for a while or forever because society tells them they can't be that
It seems to me society's been saying it's fine for a while now and this has resulted in a lot of ppl feeling a need to at least experiment until they decide one way or another. This implies a sort of choice.I would think of it as a predisposition that, depending on circumstances and influence may or may not result in homosexuality. But it's even more complex than this for some. Not trying to argue. Or blanket. Just a thought.
Are you born pizza if you love dough, tomato sauce and cheese thrown together from birth? Or do you become pizza when you love each ingredient, and then put them together finally

I think that's the real question we should be asking.

Old married couples are cute
