umm... be fully aware that the guy's either doing one of 3 things: 1) just being a friend and lacks the confidence to do anything about his desires (straight) 2) just being a friend and wants to show  you his home decor (gay) 3) trying to get you comfortable to have sex with him sooner or later,\n\nBe careful.

If you are in fact gay, you will find yourself attracted to guys.. You can't ''go straight'' and if you were to be gay you cannot change what you are. It's in you, that's how it is. You just have to accept it, and be happy with it!

Men are very sexual by nature. Some straight guys will fool around with other guys once in their life time. Some will enjoy the experience. But does that not mean they are gay. They will only be considered gay if they are emotionally or physically attracted to a guy. I assure you, if you ask them if they are still attracted to a girl after doing it with a guy, they will all answer yes.\n\nIn most cases, straight guys just want to have sex and they don't care if it's with a woman or a man as long as it has a hole.

Hmmm, me thinks it shouldn't be all that important if he is gay or not. I don't feel like judging him, so I cannot diagnose if he is gay or not.\n\n\nTo be honest, Does the fact a man is gay or not really determine his abilities as a weatherman?

My answer depends on your definition of gay.\n\nTo the vast majority of homosexuals, there is no choice in their attraction to same sex partners. The love they express for one another IS AS VALID as that between a heterosexual couple.\n\nThis does not mean that they would argue love blinds one to the gender of their partner.\n\nif your definition of gay includes (or is proposing the inclusion of) bisexuals (as a subset):\n\nThen I would suggest you know very little about bisexual attraction (as well as ignorance of the issues which differentiate homo- and bisexuality).  I am bi and I look for DIFFERENT qualities in partners of different genders.  There will be very few (if any at all) bisexuals who are "looking for a hole, any hole - just so long as it's warm" (apologies for the crudity of this last phrase). \n\nProf Richard Dawkins proposed that the Selfish Gene is what drives the requirement for procreation, that is: it is at a genetic level (not higher brain function - where love resides) that the compulsion for propagation of the genetic strand resides.  Read his book on the topic - see if that convinces you.

I don't know who that is. If he was generally in a good mood, then yes, he could be termed as 'gay', which can also be used as a synonym for happy. If you are referring to his sexual orientation, since you phrased it in the past tense using the word "was", what difference does it make now?

i think that it depends on the guy in question. I know alot of gay guys and some of them are very respectful, they understand that guys are straight and they are just normal with them. However some other guys I know take great pleasure in winding straight guys up and making them feel uncomfortbale. Although I am very comfortable with gay guys and gals I do find it very intimidating when they are in your face flaunting their sexuality. \n\nI guess the people in question should really know who they are and change their behaviour! x

It doesn't necessarily mean he's gay.  Thats a very sensitive place for men, maybe he just wants to see what if feels like.

i have straight friends that do that. if he just acts gay around your friends, its most likely to make them laugh. you said he doesn't act like that all the time, so he is most likely not gay. but whatever he is, as long as he is a great person then he should be worthy of friendship.

Gay means homosexual, it does NOT mean homosexual male.  Lost of women dislike the word lesbian, so they identify as gay.  \n\nGay male = male\nlesbian = female\nqueer = both\ngay = both

I would say if you have feelings for members of the same sex and you want to act on them, or you do act on them then you might be gay. And if you're not at all interested in being with someone of the opposite sex, but only someone of your same sex. It's also possible you could just be confused.

It really depends on how you define being gay.\n\nFor some, being gay is simply something that happens once an act is fulfilled.  Personality, gender identification and intent are irrelevant.  So long as you had a homosexual experience, you are gay. End of story.\n\nFor others, the act is less important than the intent.  A guy, for example, might find himself having homosexual sex due to being in prison with other guys for so long.  But this does not necessarily make him gay.  Another guy, on the other hand, may find himself attracted to and willing to spend his life with another man in a sexual and passionate relationship.  He identifies himself as gay.\n\nFor others even, its more inherent in one's actions and personality than intent.  Being wishy-washy, talking with a particular accent to it, wearing certain clothes, all these are marks of being gay for some people.\n\nSo, I say decide first on what "Being Gay" means for you, then see if you apply to that definition.  That is, of course, assuming you prefer sticking yourself into a label.\n\nAfter all, why can't we all just be called sexual human beings?

Looking at your last few questions, you seem very concerned with putting people into categories. I'm sorry, but life isn't like that. We're all individuals, and we have different tastes, different experiences, different perspectives. Some gay men are body-conscious, some aren't, exactly the same as straight men, or women.

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