why do people assume that calling somebody 'gay' is a bad thing?\n\nit's the same as calling somebody 'straight'. i never saw anybody get offended by that...\n\nmore importantly: why would YOU pressure somebody to come out of the closet? In this ignorant world coming out of the closet is a hard thing to do, unfortunately. I have a number of gay friends who had to go through the hard period right before coming out, and had to live with the condemnment of people after they came out.\n\ni'm not easily offended by questions, but this one is just way out of line.

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.

Really, really, freakin', absolutely, pathetically, why-hell-is-it-in-the-Olympics gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n\np.s. For the person who thought it was sad for you to use the word "gay": the word "gay" has about three usages right now. It either means "happy", "homosexual", or "dumb". The English language and it's slang words always constantly change or have more than one meaning. That's because it's a "living" language.

A homosexual is defined as someone who is romantically and sexually attracted to the same gender.\n\nThe key words there are "romantically" and "sexually". If a straight guy has sex with someone of the same gender, the action may be a homosexual action, but that doesn't necessarily change the persons orientation. They may only do it once and never again and there may have been circumstances (like alcohol or drugs, etc) to explain the otherwise odd behavior. The rest of the time the guy always has sex with the opposite sex and persues romantic relationships with the opposite sex. That makes him heterosexual. If he prefers to engage in both sex and romantic relationships with both genders that would make him bisexual and depending on the degree of his bisexuality would determine which gender he prefered to seek out most (man or woman). If a homosexual man decides not to engage in any sexual action, that doesn't mean the desire to has gone away. Nor does that mean that the man's desire to be romantic with another man has gone away either (and oddly the Bible and other sacred texts often used to condemn homosexuality only talk about the sexual act, but not the romantic act...apparently it's okay to be romantic with your own gender). \n\nThat is why it is odd when people say things like "hate the sin, but love the sinner" and then call homosexuality a sin. They simplify homosexuality often down to the action of sex with the same gender.....yet, these same people who say that this is the sin will then continue to condemn the person for simply having the homosexual desires still even if they are not engaging in sexual acts. \n\nThe basic thing that most people miss is that being homosexual isn't just about wanting to just have sex with someone of the same gender. It is about being romantically attracted to the same gender, too. Falling in love with the same gender. Sex may never actually enter into the picture of some homosexuals who are in romantic and loving relationships....yet they are condemned and told they are going to hell because it is assumed that they are having sex or assumed that just by them sharing love with each other that this is wrong (yet, do we not love our friends and family, too...and yet loving friends and family of the same gender is not wrong, why is it wrong when we find a romantic companion whom we may not even engage in sexual acts with?)\n\n\nI see a lot of hypocrisy with the issue and being a homosexual myself, I decided to stop caring about what other people think and focus my life on God without them and their opinions (because if hypocrisy exists in their opinions, then it cannot be from God). I'm a Hindu now, a religion that is very diverse and ranges on its views. When it comes to homosexuality, any condemnation that some Hindu sects have of it isn't based upon religious belief, it is usually about defending tradition or other reasons.

Gay means homosexual or happy, homosexual means you're sexually attracted to someone of the same sex, and a eunuch is a castrated man.

You are gay if you have a yearning for romantic, erotic, sexual and emotional intimacy by those of the same sex as you.\n\nI love my pet cat. But that doesn't mean I want sexual relations with it.\n\nStraight guys 'fool' around with each other out of curiosity, boredom or just for fun. Doesn't make them gay. I care for my straight friends, but that doesn't mean I 'love' them sexually or yearn for a romantic connection with them.\n\nI can't answer your question because I don't know you and I don't know your personal definition of your phrase "really care about him".

"everything a gay person does is gay because they are gay themselves" - I love that!! Does it extend to all the mundane day-today stuff too? ;)\n\n"gayness is not a sex act". I'm glad you included that. I get fed up with people saying homosexuality is wrong because gay couples can't procreate. Technically, my DH and I can't have children naturally - does that mean that our love is sinful too? When will people realise that relationships are about love and emotion and not just about sex?

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.
