How would you describe Jack's and Ennis' sexuality?

Once he and Jack started their relationship, he had to deal with it more directly, but he kept his oppositional beliefs in separate mental compartments. On the one hand, he knew that he was gay. On the other, he thought homosexuality was bad. Somehow, he managed to juggle this cognitive dissonance for 20 years.

We all juggle cd in one way or another. His story, while eloquent and moving, is not so strange. I tend to think of cd as socially imposed ethics and morality as opposed to persoanl ethics and morality.

Cognitive dissonance was too long for me to type and with my passion for typos, I though "cd" was better...LOL
