Rationalizing

I told myself that there were lots of little boys that didn't want to play sports. I even remembered my little brother being upset when his Sunday shoes weren't as pretty as his sisters'. When Rick was distraught over not getting the pretty shoes or not being able to wear Aubrey's dress to church, I convinced myself it was normal.

In later years I would watch our old family videos and notice how effeminate Rick was, even as a small boy. Just the way he would walk and talk and move. There is no doubt in my mind that he was different from the very beginning. But did this mean he was 'born' gay?
