When did you realize you were gay?

You must have been reading your homophobic agenda again, which led you to believe gays are somehow infertile. It's not true. Gays can and do have children, but only when they choose to, not from some drunken one night stand like straights do. In your little mind, are gays going to somehow get the power to prevent EVERYONE from reproducing or do you think everyone is going to turn gay if they have the choice to? That is the only way we need to worry about the species failing to carry on! And as long as straight people keep having babies, they will produce some gay babies, so the gay species is not going to die out either, sorry.  (Monday | post #586)

You mean just like you made a CONSCIOUS CHOICE to sleep with someone of the opposite sex? Everyone makes a conscious choice to be sexually active, but no one makes a conscious choice about who they are attracted to. And I certainly hope that being sexually active is, "something that you will have to live with for the rest of your life!"  (Monday | post #583)

That would be by Joseph Chilton Pearce, who isn't anywhere near an expert in homosexuality and doesn't even claim to be.  (Saturday Nov 21 | post #556)

Kat, Don't listen to that crap from the clueless other poster. What you were experiencing is very normal. Sixteen is young! Although you were probably beginning to develop sexually before this age(though not everyone does), you were not developmentally ready to understand it. You probably had sexual feelings, but you were still sorting out what that meant. If you realize at 16 you are gay, you are ahead of the game. A lot of people spend years trying to conform to what society tells them to be before realizing that it better to just be who they naturally are.  (Saturday Nov 21 | post #555)

Wow, somehow I'm surprised at your ignorance. A syndrome is nothing more than a group of characteristics that commonly occur together. There are several syndromes, or groups of commonly occurring characteristics, within the term intersexed. That does not mean they have a disease. A disease impairs normal functioning. I'm sure those women Olympic athletes that have failed genetic testing and found to be intersexed would be surprised to hear they have a disease, but I wouldn't say that to their face if I were you.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #550)

DUH! They have. There are intersexed children born all the time. http://www.xyxo.or g/isgi/faq.html  (Friday Nov 20 | post #545)

This is not middle school, and it's not a popularity contest. Gays really don't care if you like them or not. We don't care if you think gays are normal or not! What they do care about is having the same legal right to protect their partner and family that you have and take for granted, simply because you spent a few dollars and a little time to get a marriage license from the government. Notice I said the government, not the church? That is because no religious beliefs have a right to infringe on government and the rights it grants to its citizens. No majority has the right to impose their beliefs, religious or otherwise, on a minority in this country.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #544)

Being molested by someone of th same sex doesn't make you gay any more than being molested by someone of the opposite sex makes you straight.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #543)

When did you realize you were gay?

A LOT of women, including myself, come out later in life, after they have had the life they were always told they wanted. They have been the good wife, created the good home and raised the good children, now they feel it is time for them to be who they really are; to get some nurturing instead of always giving it. There is no how-to manual for coming out late in life though, because every story is different. There are a few books about their stories though. Look for _ Married Women who Love Women._ However, from what you have said, I am not sure you are gay. We are conditioned by our society to find women sexually attractive, we see it everywhere in the media. If you have never had any crushes on women you know though, and you are older, I doubt you are gay. Have you ever fantasized about having sexual activity with a women you know and found attractive? During sex, do you find yourself thinking about a woman instead of the man you are with? Sexuality is fluid though, especially in women, and their attractions can change over time.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #542)

Orlando LGBT Community Center Hit By Vandals -

A few years ago when a gay man was beaten after leaving a bar down the street from The Center, there was a public demonstration. I would like to see the same happen again. We must show them that hate cannot win. People will no longer be controlled by fear. This spineless vandal could not even spell simple words! Ignorance is the enemy. Education will cure this kind of unreasonable hate.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #1)

My husband left me 4 another man

Jenny, I know people this has happened to. First, as has been said, remember that it's not your fault. It really is not about you at all. He just couldn't live a lie anymore. Not that your marriage with him was a lie, I'm sure he wanted that very much and wanted it to work when he married you. He was just pretending to be someone he was not. I would not defend his cheating though, there is no excuse. There is an awful lot of internal stress involved with living in the closet, and if you hang around these message boards, you will learn about the kind of hatred your husband faces now that he is out. As for you, all you can do is try you move on.  (Tuesday Nov 17 | post #15)
