I'm going to play the cynic and say he's probably just another great Youtube character actor (like lonelygirl or that angry German kid who breaks his keyboard).
Although that's probably just wishful thinking.

yes, this a much more likely possibility than this kid being one of the multitude of the kids from an American protestant household that has been indoctrinated into thinking his own homosexual urges are unnatural and disgusting.
only this one is socially awkward and has a webcam.
if i'm wrong, this kid should be a star in Arrested Development 2.
I tend to believe (like Freud and Kinsey) that all people have the capability to be bisexual and that, although we start straight, environmental conditions can cause gayness (or bisexuality), though this does not have to be a permanent thing. (Society, however, allows homosexuals to have a culture built out of it, so gayness is much more prominent and permanent) Obviously those who say "it's a choice lol" are idiots.
This explains for example the phenomena of jailhouse gays. (Those in prison or those, like furries, who can't get a woman so they resort to men)
This doesn't mean I view it as unnatural or whatever, just that it's not definite.
I didn't watch the video's because I feel they'd be annoying. Also 11 year-olds or whatever refuting their alleged gayness is stupid.

I agree that sexuality is much more fluid than society gives it credit for, and that attraction can change through one's life.
However, I don't believe that it's as simple as all people "starting straight" right out of the birth canal, and I still think that there's the possibility that for many people, their sexuality is more or less rigid, or at least extremely viscous.
Also, "jailhouse gays" are a rather extreme example of being thrown into an environment that's far removed from normal society. Prisons generate a lot of strange psychological behavior that's not observed in other environments.
And anyway, this is a Christian kid that said that he's suddenly interested in women because "being gay is a sin," as though he could spontaneously switch his sexuality that easily.
So, are you a philosophy major? Just curious.
ok, I think a major is the american equivalent of a university qualification; in which case, I'm seventeen, remember. I would have taken philosophy had it been an option in my sixth form; as it is, I'm taking history, english, and psychology at A level, with an eye on research psychology as my eventual profession. I'm just very, very interested in philosophy as a field, and I think it complements psychology, and, in fact, all the subjects I'm currently taking, very well.
EDIT: I guess you could call me the social sciences guy

hey, i have no idea how old you are.
your parents knew you were in france?
also, a "major" simply refers to the area of study on which one focuses one's university studies. our undergraduate degree is a bachelor's, which is equivalent to like 1/2 of a british undergraduate degree because, again, our pre-graduate educational system sucks. however, our research is top-notch because we siphon in foreign students from other countries that have received superior undergraduate and pre-university educations.
see in america, our educational philosophy is to make everyone equally dumb. that way, we ensure that no child is left behind.I would have taken philosophy had it been an option in my sixth form; as it is, I'm taking history, english, and psychology at A level, with an eye on research psychology as my eventual profession.
