In the text, On Being Different: What It Means To Be a Homosexual, Merle Miller confessed, I ate carloads of Wheaties, hoping I'd turn into another Jack Armstrong, but I still could neither throw nor catch a baseball. I couldn't even see the thing since I've worn glasses as thick as plate glass windows since I was three. I sold enough Liberty Magazines to buy all the bodybuilding equipment Charles Atlas had to offer, but it did no good. I remained an eighty-nine-pound weakling year after year.

The child is reported to be father of the man, and the ghost of early trauma, physical or relational, can continue to direct the course of our lives. With homosexuals, the building blocks of personality development are disordered, both substantively and anachronistically, in less-than-optimal interpersonal experiences and through failure to accomplish developmental tasks in their proper order. The final outcome is that boys become sexualized before they have been appropriately socialized, and their unfulfilling remoteness and compensating erotic objectification is generally their reality through life. But it does not have to end this way.
