Quote Kosh="Kosh"My wife and I were quite 'right on' when we decided to have kids and went out of our way to avoid the normal gender stereotypes and stereotyping behaviours. I've still ended up with teenagers who are easily recognisable as being of male and female gender. As they got older and had more power to make their own decisions on things like toys, colours, and clothes they slowly gravitated towards the kind of things you'd 'expect' for their sexes.
Now - this is not to say I've ended up with a Macho Man and a Barbie Doll. Far from it. The process was quite subtle and they share a lot of joint interests still. But there was clearly another factor or factors at work. And I've allowed for peer pressure once they started interacting socially with the world at large.'"
That serves to reinforce my belief that, although external influences may play some part in determining an individual's sexuality, the overriding driver is nature as opposed to nurture
