Chapter 34 Chapter 15 I dreamed that I was gay

Mike hopes to find the best weight loss club to realize his weight loss plan as quickly as possible.When he arrived at the first weight loss club, there was an eye-catching advertisement: "Lose 5 pounds in 25 minutes." Mike thought, this is an incredible weight loss action.So, he entered that club curiously.In a large room, Mike saw a beautiful woman.What surprised Mike even more was that the beautiful woman was completely naked, except for a small sign with a downward arrow hanging on her waist, which read: "If you can catch me, the bottom is yours." During the 25-minute crazy chase, Mike never caught the beauty, but he really lost 5 pounds.

Mike got out of that club and found another one not far away.There was an eye-catching advertisement posted there: "Lose 20 pounds in 25 minutes." Mike thought this was even more incredible.So, he joined that club.In a large room, Mike saw a strong man.To Mike's surprise, the strong man was completely naked, and a small sign with a downward arrow was hanging on his waist, which read: "If I can catch you, the bottom is yours." Mike Immediately frightened out of his wits. The joke above is clearly the work of a straight man.To a straight gay man, that joke would be turned upside down.Homosexuality was regarded as a scourge 30 years ago, but in the United States today, homosexuals have successfully gained their place in society.Even presidential candidates must show respect and support for gay people.The most authoritative "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM-IV) in the United States no longer regards homosexuality as a psychological disorder, leaving only the euphemistic "sexual role identity disorder".

What on earth is homosexuality all about?To those who take heterosexuality for granted, homosexuality is an eccentricity that is completely intolerable.So can we get a professional answer from psychology? Most psychologists 30 years ago regarded homosexuality as a psychological disorder. Naturally, they plausibly proved how homosexuality originated, how it evolved, and how it could be treated and corrected.Unexpectedly, today, homosexuality is so overwhelming that even psychologists have to change course. What is even more surprising is that many psychologists in the United States are themselves gay.If you're discussing homosexuality with a psychologist, and you speak out against homosexuality, that venerable psychologist might smile at you and say, "Sorry, I'm gay myself." In that moment, Your embarrassment cannot be increased.

After I arrived in the United States, I encountered such embarrassment.In fact, as far as I am concerned, I have an open attitude towards homosexuality, and I think that everything that exists in this world has its reason for existence.I often think that the population of this earth is too large, and the earth should have her wisdom to adjust the total number of people living on her.So, I think homosexuality is a reasonable choice. I thought that this kind of Zhang's commentary on homosexuality not only understood the secrets of heaven, but also won the support of homosexuals.Unexpectedly, when I was self-satisfied to sell my ideas to an American psychologist, she began to argue with me about the nature of homosexuality.She insists that homosexuality is one of the origins of human nature, but it has been excluded in the long river of history by the pragmatic ethics of human beings who focus on reproduction.And the rebirth of contemporary homosexuality is just a leap of human nature for human beings to return to their original roots.

She was actually dissatisfied with my explanation of the function of homosexuality to limit the population, and raised homosexuality to the level of humanity.I immediately realized that the psychologist in front of me was a homosexual?She confirmed my guess with her smiling eyes. This is really a strange feeling!The American psychologist in front of me is actually a homosexual, and if she doesn't tell me, I really can't judge. It seems that I need to modify the stereotype of homosexuality in my heart. Now that I have such a good opportunity, I might as well state the question in my heart: "Are you born gay, or did you suddenly find yourself gay one day?"

"I think there are natural homosexuals, but I didn't recognize my homosexuality until I was 20 years old." She told me frankly, and I also like this kind of confession. "That is to say, you still liked boys before the age of 20?" I asked a little recklessly. "Yeah." She didn't mind my recklessness, and continued, "but I've been disappointed by my interactions with boys." "So you're saying that if the boys you dated didn't disappoint you, you'd still be straight now?" I like to ask probing questions. She smiled and said: "Homosexuality is like a seed in the heart. As long as the climate is right, it will sprout and grow. I used to be a straight person, but now I am a gay person. I see the plasticity of life."

Contrary to my view of homosexuality as a prescription to save the earth's population explosion, she believes that homosexuality is originally a seed buried deep in human nature. The surging emergence of homosexuality in modern society has made modern life richer and more exciting. That night, I was surprised to have a dream.In the dream, I also became a homosexual. Nan Ke Yimeng woke up and felt a cold sweat.This human nature is really amazing. Could it be that one day, Zhang Daxia will solemnly announce to the world: "Hero is also a homosexual." However, maybe, when I announce it, the world will sigh to me: "Why do you Didn’t announce it until today? Now it’s gay everywhere.”

Although the United States is a country where homosexuality is overwhelming, according to my observation, homosexuality is still in a state of discrimination in the overall society.One day, I took the subway in New York, and after entering the door, I found that there was an empty seat in the middle.When I got closer, I found a pair of men sitting in the middle of the empty seat. The two looked tired and intimate, but no one was willing to sit in the empty seat around the two of them. distance.The lovers seemed to be aware of people's attitudes, their eyes were blank and ignored the existence of everyone.In that special atmosphere, I could clearly feel the discrimination against homosexuals in the United States.

Is homosexuality innate, or is it evolved due to the special living environment acquired?Modern genetic engineering reveals that homosexuality has its genetic basis. Even in the animal kingdom, homosexuality abounds.But from the perspective of a psychologist, if everything is determined by genes, then there is no need for psychology to exist.I personally believe that homosexuality is a kind of life form that has evolved under the influence of acquired special living environment.Since it is a form of life, there should be no good or evil in the original sense, it is just a way of adapting to the living environment.For example, some studies have pointed out that homosexuality, which was prevalent in the US military during the Vietnam War, mostly disappeared naturally after the US military was disarmed and returned to the field.In my treatment experience with American psychological patients, I also found that homosexuality is a life form that can be freely transformed.
