According to "Hillbilly Elegy," Vance's grandmother assured him that he wasn't gay, but that God would still love him if he was.
Yes, there's more to it than that and it's quite stupid and also quite bigoted. Republicans don't need to know that. They didn't and won't read his book anyway.

Every straight person I’ve talked to says they knew they were straight very early on. This goes for me as well. There was a brief moment in my teen years where I asked myself if I might be gay. It lasted about two seconds. The result was negative. There was no way I was going to be gay.
If this dude “convinced” himself he was gay, well, I think he might just be at least bi.
A lot of bi people just decide to only live as straight since they would rather not deal with the social stigmas of any degree of homosexuality
Yup. I'm bi, but I always knew that I wanted kids and a family so my "choice" was obvious. I also saw my class mates mercilessly bully an openly gay kid, so I simply chose not to go through that myself and never told anyone how I felt.
I thought I was gay when I was like 13 or 14 and then never thought of it again, the thought just went away
I still have long hair since that time but have a wife of 10 years ha

Idk, man. There are definitely people I know with a very clear gender identity from an early age. But their were plenty more that weren't so cemented at one pole or the other of the Kinsey Scale.

The problem is fundamentally of definition. Are you simply Bisexual or are you Deluded By Satan Into Having Impure Thoughts?
The answer is entirely rooted in your morality. If you're convinced homosexuality is evil, then of course you're going to feel like any non-straight impulse must be a sin.
