Let me try this again.
With alcoholism, you may be physically have the inability to process alcohol like a normal person, but without alcohol, you would never know you are an alcoholic. It is just a malfunction of your body that never gets triggered because you never ingest the substance it takes to trigger it. Once you ingest alcohol, the "whatever physical thing happens in your body" begins to take place. In some people, the process happens slowly, in others they become full-blown alcoholics almost immediately. But, often it is a progressive disease.
Now, take out alcoholism and replace the appropriate words with gay definitions. There are huge differences. You don't become gay over time. You may beceome more accepting of being gay over time, but your condition doesn't get "worse".
