What does it mean to you to be homosexual?

Being gay, like life in general, isn't all daisys and sunny days. Usually, that's because there's a very big misconception that every gay (men at least) is tea-tottling, mincing, lisping, works at a hairdresser's, is a waiter, or is great at making floral arrangements. Let's dispel that myth with my VERY honest answer:\n\n\nThis probably will sound a little smarmy, but I really view my personal homosexuality just like the dictionary says. Although, it doesn't define me as a person, which is much more important.\n\nI live my life each day as I think most guys do. Wake up, jerk off, take a shower, get dressed, grab some coffee, head to work, work work work, brown paper bag lunch, come home, jerk off, order pizza, jerk off, watch TV or a movie, then go to sleep wearing my skivvies, and only one sock on. On the weekends I loathe my job, work on the car if it needs it, play rugby (if there's a match), mow the lawn, and do chores around the house.\n\nPersonally, I'm not a bars-and-parades kinda guy. I'm just me. Don't get me wrong, I've gone out to the bars, and have attended at least one parade in my life, but it's not my whole life.\n\nI don't see myself as different from any man, except for the act of sex itself. That, unless you're in my inner-circle, is really no ones business. So why should they worry about it when they really don't want to know about it, right? RIGHT? Hmmm...\n\nSo, what does being homosexual mean to me? It means I'm me. I'm myself. It means I'm not living up to anyone's standards but my own. It means that sex is the only difference between me and anyone else.\n\nI really don't get what all the fuss is about. I've got lots of str8 friends, who don't even care. I've met total strangers that have been cool with it. Regardless, I'm not worried about it. If I have to, I've even knocked down a str8 dude or two in my time... No worries here.\n\nGuess that's just me... you know... being homosexual...\n\n\nP.S. No need to send out prayers, particularly those who preach and pray to hear themselves talk. \n\nNONE of you are in ANY position to question the Will and Work of God!!! Who do you think you are?! \n\nOnly mankind would assign such high value of himself! Your sin is PRIDE!\n\nBLASPHEMERS! LIARS! FALSE PROPHETS!!\n\n\n.

You're gay when you look at members of the same sex as sexual objects. For example, a confused teen like yourself is walking down the street, and can help himself from staring at a cute guy's butt. Gay!

Do you attracted to people of the same sex?  If so, you are probably gay.

I hope I am not as sarcastic as some others on here and I hope to give you a little insite.  People often find themselves attracted to people of the opposite sex.  It doesn't necessarily mean you are gay. Regretfully it doesnt mean that you aren't either. It is common (especially with teenagers) to have some doubt about your sexual identity.  I think it best to be who are and not let other people label you.  The real you will shine out in the end.

I consider myself very open-minded. Meaning that when I find myself being drawn to someone, it is because of there soul, not there sex.\nAs for those that say to "NOT BE GAY BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS SO"plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, so those same people must have never ever lied, cheated, stolen, look at another while married, or messed around on them, or even use the lords name in vein?????? I feel those people only use that as a weapon when trying to preach about gays. Those people need to step back and look around in there own bubble.

is that different from being gay? What do you mean by 'gay attitude'?

No, I don't think so. If you are attracted to members of your own sex physically - that makes you homosexual. A transsexual would be - for the sake of the argument - considered to be the sex that they have become. If you're male and attracted to a female (who was born male) then I think you would be a normal heterosexual. Good question!

Perhaps it's just an easy out for people who don't quite know what to do with homosexuality as a concept or as a practice.  There is a small part of the queer movement who believes that sexuality (important to note that not JUST homosexuality) is a choice which, I suppose, I could support more than just saying that homosexuality is choice.\n\nAnyway, other than that faction within the queer group, it is mainly heterosexual people who I hear that say that to be homosexual is a choice.  I would think it is simple for a person in a heterosexuals position to say that simply because the logic would be, "Well, I choose to be straight because I'm not attracted to (whatever)."  That is just an interesting statement (which I know I am generalizing, but I have certainly heard that one more than a few times) simply because it is defining sexuality based on what it's NOT.  \n\nAnother interesting thing is that it's always homosexuality that is the choice, but NEVER just plain old sexuality in whatever form it comes.  \n\nBuuuut beyond that ............ I have no clue why people think that sexuality is a choice.  You like what you like.  I like apples a lot, but I'm not such a fan of oranges (but I do like clementines).  I like women a lot, but I'm not such a fan of men (but I do like some).  That sums it up for me - it's not a matter of choice or really preference, but just what I like.

What does religion and homosexuality have to do with anything?\n\nYou can be gay and still be spiritual, just the same as a straight person can be spiritual.

Love is blind... a transsexual man or woman is still a person with the same needs as everyone.  I personally think you're not gay for falling in love with someone that many Closed-Minded people would think is gay.\n\nKeep in mind, the definition of gay is someone who is a man that is attracted to other men. A transsexual who is biologically born male and clearly is now a female is a woman, not a man.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with being gay.I have a couple close friends who just happen to prefer the same gender, and I wouldn't change them for the world! I think it's a huge compliment for a woman to tell me she'd like to sleep with me,even though I'm straight.The bible says homosexuality is an abomination in the Old Testament.I'll get back to you on the specific verses.

the question is... are you gay? becoz if you are, you're up to it. and if you're not, then you're straight. it's either you go that way or this way

Yes I know someone who know longer chooses the homosexual lifestyle and they follow Christ.  Two actually.  A woman and a man.  The fell in love, got married, and have 2 kids.  They did not turn heterosexual, though.  Think of homosexuality like alcoholism.  That might make some mad, but that is the best analogy I can give.  If you are a follower of the Bible, certain things are wrong.  Just because you have a desire doesn't mean you should act upon it.  Homosexuals are just hurting people, many have poor if any relationship with their fathers and some were sexually abused as children.

No one becomes homosexual, so to speak.  It's a more a realization, as with any sexual fetish/preference.  You can't wake up one day to find yourself as a homosexual, you just 'are' or 'aren't'.  It is possible that someone straight could desire to turn homosexual, and actively embrace that lifestyle, but for most persons, it's not a choice, so much as a realization.

I don't believe ANYONE would actually CHOOSE to be- I mean, it's kind of like choosing between driving a car uphill and walking on your hands, in the snow, with no gloves on,  backwards, while making a homemade apple pie. Not much of a choice here, is there? \nI apologize if that was a little over the top, but I get really frustrated by lack of understanding when it comes to matters of sexual orientation. A lot of answers you'll get will be "choice", but I assure you that NONE of THOSE answers will EVER come from someone WHO IS REALLY GAY. Why the heck would we, as heterosexuals, know better than someone who IS ACTUALLY HOMOSEXUAL??\n(again, I'm sorry if I sound nasty- as the saying goes, "One of my best friends is gay."- and he is.)
