I am working on a novel. It is not specifically about gay people, but there are some gay characters.
Pardoni, the pirate (and then king/conqueror):
He was born the son of a prostitute. As he was growing up he repeatedly saw his mother in situations that a child should not, and saw how sex made her emotionally desolate.
Because of his experiences in childhood, he is repulsed by the idea of hetero intercourse, but of course still has a sex drive. He turned to homosexuality, as he could have sexual relations with a man and not hate himself for making a woman desolate.
This is different to my own experience. I have always been gay, and I have really never been anything else.
I want to know, does Pardoni's turning to homosexuality because of his repulsion to hetero intercourse work? Does this actually happen, that a person can turn gay, even if they aren't simply gay?
(And what is up with my avatar? I chose a face for my avatar, then changed it. Now it alternates. Can I fix that?)
