I'm Gay, is anyone here gay?

---

When somebody with 'fag power' in their sig tells other people to 'get a life' i feel genuinely amused. It's funny. Not like laugh out loud funny, like clown funeral funny.If people want to admit to their homosexuality then that's their decision. Society tends to frown upon openly gay folk so many people choose to keep it secret ( and by saying this i am not saying i am gay so don't suggest that ) Anybody who is so pathetic that they force themselves into changing sexuality because they can't get with girls is probably either:1) the elephant man 2) youStop posting shitty advice on forums, idiot.

If it's something people don't even chose, how is it not natural?True, but then I would say that homosexualitly would have to be an anomaly in nature both in humans and other species. M-F pairing is still required in all mammals in order for it to propogate.

So then you're making a strictly academic point? As opposed to a value judgement?It may be an anomaly for people to chose not to have children as well. Some would call them selfish.

Yeah, I could give a rat's ass if someone were gay or not. I just feel that mammals were not "meant" to be "gay".

"Meant" might imply biological imperitive. But if it implies the presence of a creator, according to no1, I shouldn't comment comment on that.

Yes, biologically speaking, they are not meant to be gay. Here's an interesting thought. If "homosexual" beings do not pair up with the opposite sex, then their genes would not be passed on to the next generation. Wouldn't that be natures way to eliminate the anomaly??? (But this would assume that the anomaly is genetically based. I believe that has not proven to be true, though)

That is an interesting question. Keep in mind that homosexual behavior does appear in other mammals, and is often a reaction to certain stresses. But if it is genetic, either it's a random anomaly that persists (seems unlikely), or there is some advantage to the population in having a certain percentage of homosexual members.

Eh, I've never really understood that myself. I can kind of understand being proud that you had the courage to come out of the closet.

In my country there's some people who are strongly opposed to gay marriage. Strongly opposed. Like this one guy, every day he walks in front of parliament with this big sign saying that For man to lay with man is abomination and then some bible book and some numbers. But I don't wish violence on him. He is entitled to his view as long as it doesn't harm others. Same with this dude cartman and then some numbers. He thinks its wrong. He thinks we should try to be straight. As long as he's jsut thinking it and not actually interfering in my life, then what do I care?

If we all drove cars our species would cease to exist. Are you suggesting no one should drive cars? If we all had two children, the planet would be overrun in three generations. Are you siggesting that no one should have two children?Most people who have children shouldn't. As far as I can tell, this planet has a population surplus. So if I'm off bugggering a bunch of men, then I'm doing the planet as well as our species a favour.

There are other possibilities, Steve. It could be like the sickle-cell anaemia gene, where having two of them is bad for reproductive fitness (you die early), but having one of them is good (more resistance to malaria). I wouldn't dismiss the natural variation theory so quickly, either.It has been suggested that having some unpaired members in the tribe may help the tribe as a whole, in various ways.

Also, sexual orientation (at least in males) may be influenced by the timing of the rise of different hormones in their environment. If the increase in testosterone doesn't happen withing a certain time window, the sexual development (and possibly, sexual orientation) of the fetus is permanently affected. I'm not sure what causes the timing to fall out of the normal range.

In response to:Why would one be proud of one's sexual orientation? ----------------------------------------------------Yo SteveA,It is difficult to be different, especially when you are not use to hate stuff. There is heaps of prejudice, bias, stereotypes and misinformation about being gay. If you do not have feelings toward guys it is hard to know the fears of rejection by family, friends, co-workers, and church. These fears are real. Who wants to have to worry about gay aggression shit - from name-calling, to difficult times at school and at home, to losing your job, to physical violence. Definitely not me. It lead me to having relationships with girls for years and blocking out completely this part of me. After being chased by a guy recently - who is now my boyfriend - I have learnt that a hard cock is great. Being able to have sex with another guy is insane. Being open and accepting with my mate of my feelings for him as “real” is fucking awesome I hate it though that I even have to think about having to put a “gay” label on myself. I hate it even more that I haven’t been able to tell my closest friends that I have found the sexiest, most relaxed and fun-loving dude …….All I can say (and this isn't aimed at you SteveA) is don't judge a banned book by its coverage. And more importantly don't judge others …... I’m happy to read that dudes like FruitySlapper have supportive parents and friends. Not every-one is so lucky! Every wave is different,Sparkus

I am gay, and thank god that I am...
