Maybe until I find a better way to explain everything then I will. I have really just begun my research so the information that you and everyone else read was just theories that I have just almost recently claimed.

PS: And the reason I mentioned that I challenge traditional beliefs is because I wanted to make it clear as to why I ask some of the question I do on this forum.
I can understanding your feeling hurt that you are not being understood, but I hope you will allow me, as someone who has lived long enough to identify with such feelings, to point out that this is an untenable position. Why? It mirrors the position that those you are gay but cannot accept themselves are in.

You might as well say "If I tell you who I am you won't accept me." And guess what? For a young gay man to come out in a conservative environment, you betcha- there may be little if any acceptance, love and warmth.

When you can give yourself what you want from others then the conversation will really begin.
