Why do some homosexuals have to let the world know what their sexual?

Cookie, I know what your talking about. And I believe that the coming out experience for some people are much different than for others.  Perhaps for some it was hard for them to be accepted at home, so they are out in public. Some actually hid for so many years that coming out is like a rebirth to them and their excited and it's like a new life for them. They can finally be free and not enslaved by being closeted any longer.  I don't think that some homosexuals really care who we think they have sex with. They know that straight people have questions and some are very helpful in answering our questions. Yes I am straight. But I have a gay son.  And I also have a straight son, that equals two great kids! What I can tell you is that it is a process that a family goes through. There are different stages that a gay person and their family goes through. And this is evident in their behavior when they become relaxed and can be themselves. I hope this helped abit. I am a PFLAG Mom. Parents Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. If you had more questions you can email PFLAG and they will be more than happy to answer your question.

Although I am not male...I would like to offer my opinion....I have a few friends that are gay and they are anything but effeminate! I know that when they tell people they are gay not many others believe. This is too bad that in this day and age, and with the access to all these tools to educate, many, or should I say most, still have this stereo type of what a gay man "should be". This is just plan ignorant and narrow minded. But then these people still probably are too homophobic to discover the truth...and get to know some for who they really are...not based on a preconceived label.

Thank you sooooo much I have wondered the same thing. I think they feel being gay is something the whole world needs to know just so people do not ask them why they are not with the opp. sex.  Also I guess it makes them feel better

Because people fail to understand being gay is who we are.\n\nWhu are people straight?\nWhy are people people?

the difference between gay and straight has not been officially figured out... or else they would offer a "cure" or something-- like for people who think it is a sin or for those who don't want to be gay.

You're right. People are too black-and-white about sexuality. They don't accept anything in between - either someone is straight and would not even want to touch someone of the same sex or someone is gay and would not even want to touch someone of the opposite sex. Reality is, of course, far more complex than that. We spend too much time defining what people are and too little time trying to understand who they are.\n\nI think the lesson here is that we probably should go to people we care about - and not the masses on Y!A - when we genuinely need advice!

There are some break through research that homophobes would like to keep under wraps.  It,s looking like homosexuality is more in genetics and brain chemistry.  People can't really turn gay, or at least not for the right reasons.  You can't choose who you are attracted to.

I dont usualy tell peole my business nor do I flautn my sexuality. I leave it where it belongs in the bedroom. NOt to say that I wouldt admit it if I was comfortable with the person asking. I dont agree with being extra OUt and practically wearing a rainbow flag or a raiblw pin. SOme people get a little over zealous or proud.

People fear what they don't know, some people just cannot accept the fact that not everyone is like them nor should they have to be. We are all individuals with certain qualities that make us unique and who we are. Bisexuality is actually something that we all have in us however not everyone would accept that fact not would they act upon it. I beleive that being attracted to our own sex if normal . Some people can accept that and not experiment and some do experiment and find it gratifying. To each his own and no one should ever condem anyone for their preferences. I would say that you should do what you need to do\nif you are happy with it however you don't need to make it public.\nWhy not let that be something you explore discreeetly, not everyone needs to know.  So just remember this bisexuality thing is normal and do what you need to do.

Because we are. \n\nWhy are you heterosexual or homosexual? Because that's part of who you are. \n\nIt's just a tiny part of what makes up each individual, their sexual orientation. \nHumans are sexual beings, whether homosexual or heterosexual. I doesn't and shouldn't matter.

That's the way gays naturally act if they are effeminate. Not all gays are that way. Many are people you would not suspect. They don't do it to draw attention. They do it because that's the way they are.

The issue of homosexual behavior has had a lot of publicity of late. Homosexuals say that the slaves have been freed and women have been liberated, so gay rights are long overdue. Society does seem to be moving in that direction. Many homosexuals are "coming out" and openly declaring their homosexuality. In many parts of the western world, homosexual couples receive the same recognition as heterosexual couples with regard to social security benefits. Some church leaders are giving their blessing to homosexual relationships, homosexual church members and even homosexual ministers.Since other groups who have been discriminated against (such as women, blacks and the disabled) have been given equal opportunity, homosexuals claim that they, too, should be liberated. However, as one Christian expert has said...\n\n"Gender, race and impairment all relate to what a person is, whereas homosexuality relates to what a person does."1\n\nIn contrast, homosexuals claim that scientific studies have shown that there is a biological basis for homosexuality.\n\nThree main studies are cited by "gay rights" activists in support of their argument2—Hamer's X-chromosome research,3 LeVay's study of the hypothalamus,4 and Bailey and Pillard's study of identical twins who were homosexuals.5\n\nIn all three cases, the researchers had a vested interest in obtaining a certain outcome because they were homosexuals themselves. More importantly, their studies did not stand up to scientific scrutiny by other researchers. Also, "the media typically do not explain the methodological flaws in these studies, and they typically oversimplify the results".6 There is no reliable evidence to date that homosexual behavior is determined by a person's genes.\n\nTo the extent that biological or social factors may contribute to a person's bent toward homosexual behavior, this does not excuse it. Some people have a strong bent towards stealing or abuse of alcohol, but they still choose to engage or not engage in this behavior—the law rightly holds them accountable.\n\nThe final report of the Baptist Union of Western Australia (BUWA) Task Force on Human Sexuality states 'that a person becomes a homosexual ultimately by choosing to be involved in same-sex activity... This is in contrast to innate characteristics such as gender and ethnicity.'7 The report affirms that 'the Bible is clear that sin involves choice, and it unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior as sin'.7\n\nThe foundational teaching on marriage and sexual issues is found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. When Jesus was questioned about marriage, He referred to these 2 chapters (Matthew 19:1-12; Mark 10:1-12). Genesis teaches us that 'male and female He created them' (Genesis 1:27). We were created to a plan—male and female complementing each other. That is, God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, nor Madam and Eve.The Bible not only describes homosexual behavior as detestable, but it also calls for the punishment of those involved (Leviticus 20:13). Their unrepentant attitude caused God to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25).\n\nJust as homosexual conduct has been punished in the past, so it will also be punished by God in the future.\n\n"...Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).\n\nHope

You can't - it's non of your business so don't worry about it.   You know this is America - land of the FREE home of the BRAVE  and there are, I'm sure, brave Homosexuals.  And NO I'm not Gay - I just think people shouldn't worry about what other good, legal, legitimate, honest, hardworking people do.  You must be one of those Homo-phobic's to sit and dwell on such a stupid question.
