When I look back at my younger self, I still cringe at some of the ridiculous things I did to try to catch the attention of members of the opposite gender. The things I said and did, and the choices I made, in the pursuit of love still shape my character and my future. To argue, as some people have in relation to Jonestown, Chris Masters' biography of extremely influential broadcaster Alan Jones, that a person's sexuality is irrelevant is ridiculous.
