If being gay was a choice, would you be?

[chrisw87]

I am happy being Bi. Theoretically doubles my chances of getting a partner I fall for.

However as of late the number has been reduced to 0. 2 x 0... Fuuuuuuuuu

Election: Gay. Children tend to not be an issue. Men tend to not smell like something used in the Nazi death camps.

Issues resolved.

It's a pity it isn't a choice, but if it were a choice, it would be the best ethical and moral choice ever.

I'd choose to be straight where social and personal life would be better for me. It's not so much that I hate myself, it's that the gay "community" and social interactions seem much more complicated.

 

[pai mei]

now?

i'd choose to be gay. i've come too far in acceptance to ever want to go back to being insecure about who i was, and if i were straight, i'd be insecure over my sexuality. i just know it lol.

 

[MMMonsterBoy]

I don't see any reason to wish myself into normalcy. I am happy. Who isn't happy with how I live my life can stay out of it. Gay or straight, I'd have someone questioning my "lifestyle." There's really no point in choosing to be straight :/

I would choose to be straight because life would be so much easier and i would love to meet the right person one day and grow old with them. If you don't look like a super model or act a certain way gay guys don't want to have anything to do with you. Girls seem to accept guys who aren't too hott imo also it does get depressing when your watching all your straight friends dating and getting married/engaged and your still single but its the small town life maybe it will get better when i move out to a city one day.

Asexual > Bisexual > the rest

Sexuality just seems so bothersome to me, and I've never even had sex yet. If I have to put up with it at all, I might as well go both ways. Alas, neither was meant to be...

I’ve been rather fortunate – looking back, it has been predominantly charmed. I’ve seen things that I would have never seen. I have been (guided and now have shown others) to places that I would have never been. Places, at the time, happening out of my reach and beyond my imagination. Some folks living where I’m hailing from have never been out of the surrounding counties.
I’ve met great artists, had conversations with great minds, marched for rights, gained pride and learned so much. I have learned to make family while demanding no less than respect from my own – they had no choice. I was more than willing to go on with my life without them.
I’ve had great mentors (a fortunate thing) that showed me love and not just lust after the youth of our culture. This is something that I try to pass along.
In answer to your question, YES – YES –YES - I would choose my life.

Gay men are cooler, more fun, more fun-loving, better looking and don't have parents bugging them to procreate.

So gay for me.

I'd rather die than be a straight man.

same here, i'd rather die than be straight.

 

[bankside]

I'd sign up for extra gay.

 

[Kyanimal]

I wish I had Chosen to ADMIT that I was GAY, much sooner than I did!

Could have had SO much More FUN!!

Keep smilin'!!

[Latimer]

Now? Absolutely. But I didn't start out that way. Doubt that many of us do.

Ummm Fuck yeah! Have you seen the hot ass guys walking this planet?

 

[DigitalFudge]

You can't choose to be this fabulous.

 

[Rex]

No. No way.


I wouldn't chose to be straight either. Being bi, I believe, is the best sexuality. Straight men will never fully appreciate a man and gay men will never fully appreciate a woman.

I think to completely love and appreciate the male or female gender, you have to have sex with them and feel them. Being intimate with someone brings out so many different feelings, emotions and desires that gay and straight men won't experience because they only like one or the other.

Bisexual men get to experience so much more. That being said, bisexuals are also some of the most confusing, misunderstood and broken people in society.


I think MOST people on this earth are bisexual to some degree, but most of them are not enough to recognize it or act on it.

Sexual orientation is an inherit part of the highly complex and multiple factors that come together to form who and what we are, what we call our personality. In a sense it is part of your soul if you will. We tend to separate it out and treat it like it is some unique factor completely distinct from the rest but it isn't. Changing one of those factors impacts the whole and changes the entire dynamic.

So if you were offered some magic pill that would change your orientation, you are not talking about just waking up tomorrow and liking Susan instead of Bill and everything else being the same. You would wake up tomorrow an entirely different person and probably a pretty messed up one in desperate need of therapy as you essentially would have to go through the entire process that you spent years doing as a child of discovering who you are all over from scratch before you could effectively function again.

Bottom line is you would no longer be you but an entirely new person.

I agree with this 150%. Your sexuality, and your journey of finding your sexuality is a big part of finding out who you are. It has an effect on your personality, your views on many things, your view on both men and women. Your perception of yourself. Your perception of the world.

It affects EVERYTHING to some degree.

If I were 30 years younger right now, HELL YEAH! Youth, looks, and raging hormones. What could possibly be better?

But I am finding out that Gay guys are far more likely to grow old alone than straight guys. Mostly due to the totally unrealistic standards everyone (here) seems to have. ( I have yet to meet someone that DOESN'T )

So today at my current age? No. I'd rather be with someone who loves me.

 

[DonnieDarko]

I love being who i am so yes. i would still choose to be who i am.

I'm not sure if it's only about loving who you are. I love being who I am also, but I would choose being straight, beacuse it makes life a little bit easier.
