So, before I make my comments, let me state that I am hetero, and
what I am about to say is based on talking to gay friends.

No-one knows what makes someone homo-sexual. However, it is NOT mysogyny.
Gay men don't turn to each other out of despair of never finding a
woman - gay men REALLY just like men. Many like women too, but prefer
men.

Many hetero's who have a hard time finding a female partner will find
themselves despairing "I have lots of male friends - it is easy for me
to meet and get to know men - why is it so hard to get to know women?"
At that point they start fantasizing about sexual contact with a man,
and usually shortly thereafter begin flogging themselves mentally.
Sorry, that isn't homosexuality, that is lonely heterosexuality. The
urges for real homosexuality are entirely different.
