I’m thankful for being gay

[metta]

What an experience it is to be gay. I feel fortunate that I have had an opportunity to experience being gay, especially at a time when the gay community is still fighting for equality. I think that it has helped me feel more empathetic towards those that do not necessarily fall into the main stream/majority. And that is a good thing because I would not want to be the opposite of this. It is also a nice feeling that I can do what I can to move forward the cause of equal civil rights for everyone.

I have had many experiences that I would not have had if I had not been gay.

Being gay….it’s a good thing!

Here's to independent thought, personal integrity, and spiritual growth

Completely agree. Whatever doesnt kill you, makes you stronger... unfortunately teen suicide amongst our people is way too high.

I love being gay !!!

And I love all the cute guys that are also gay !!!

As bad as it may sound:

I wish I was straight. All the shit that's happened to me over the past 2 years... none of it would have. I'd still have all my friends, my best friend wouldn't feel awkward talking to me, and my life would just be a lot easier in general.

Being gay rocks.

I mean, straight guys just dont get how fun it is to feel that instant comrdarie between men.

Today my gay sportbike rider club we were riding up the mountains and when we came to a rest area, we met two other gay men riding the same route.

After a few mintues of chatting and a little flirting, they two guys joined us for the rest of the ride. You think straight men can make friends that fast based on simple common sexual orientation?

nuh-uh.

I do agree - - and yet it is a tough way to grow up; I suppose it has to be that way, there is just so much stupidity out there

thanks for the thread - life is great - - being gay is great - -

Surely you don't mean to imply that heterosexuals aren't capable of 'independent thought, personal integrity, and spiritual growth'?

=======================

I've always been perfectly happy and content being gay

But I dare say that if I'd been born heterosexual, I'd be perfectly happy to be straight.

I certainly don't suffer from any form of 'gay superiority complex', nor 'gay inferiority complex' either, for that matter.

My sexuality is only a part of what makes me the person I am; an important part, sure, but by no means the defining thing about me.


Mind you, having said all that, I really have no conception of what it must be like to not love the cock.

Very well said...

I love who and what I am and wouldn't trade it for the world!

(after all, how many straight men actually let their 'fabulousness' shine through?) LOL

Not at all , and I totally agree with the rest of what you said, I was just highlighting the benefits of being gay and the challenges that may be involved, if it's viewed with the right attitude

I am a much happier person now that I have accepted being gay. Things are much clearer for me now. I spent 38 years in in a cloud of confusion, I am glad there is nothing but blue sky for me now!

Sounds a lot like my story.

I'm very much happier now.

I've met 3 guys in the past few weeks, and each one is better than the rest. I never met this many women that I hit it off so well with.

Gay men are so incredibly interesting and lovable.

 

[SilverRRCloud]

Dunno. I can't speak for the others. It suits me very well and I just love it this way for all the reasons previously mentioned...

I am an independent guy and the natural opposite of 'a family + white fence dude'.

Being gay helped me discover this aspect of my personality. For better or worse, I have saved both the others and myself a lot of tears and suffering by not doing what would have not worked for me in the first place: family, wife, kids, dental bills and the rest.

I have nothing but admiration for both str8 and gay dudes, who seem to be capable of going thru such motions. Good thing, I know, I am not one of them.

[Kojimon]

Yes. I am thankful, too.

If one is true to themselves, then they will live a happy life.

 

[Lube]

I had a date last night, and he asked me if I was happy "switching teams"?

Oh, yes, I am so happy. I don't care if I should have done it 25 years ago. I've done it and I don't regret it and I'm not turning back.

To a gay guy, there is nothing like the touch, scent, or taste of a guy.

Nothing compares.

 

[HourglassGuy]

I love this thread!

surfboy... how are you being bashed.. and where do you live?

YUP! Me too! Thanks for this beautiful thread, too.

I love being gay! I wouldn't want to be any other way.

Sadly, I am not happy to be gay. The only thing I'm glad for is that I will never have to put up with a women. Something about how they spend all their time focused on making themselves looking prettier or having things there way really pisses me off.
