If You Could Choose Your Sexuality?

[godson112]

Gay because I don't think being straight would suit my personality or appearance.
Not that I'm a stereotypical gay, most people don't guess I'm gay when they first meet me, but I just don't think it'd suit me.

Sorry, but I love men.

Don't apologize. I do too!

And I'm not a woman!

 

[thisisinteresting]

Gay. I can't fucking stand women.

I like men so much, the only way I'd chose to be straight was if I could chose to be a woman too. But in that case, I'd be missing half the fun so... gay all the way!

Gay. I can't fucking stand women.

S'okay. They can't stand you either.

I'd like to be gay until age 50. Nobody wants to be gay after 50.

Well, my friend, you are wrong. I am over 50 and would not choose any other way. I don't know how old you are but you will learn, or if you are older it's sad. I met the man of my life at 18 and spent the next 33 yrs with him until his recent passing left me single at 53. If i could start over again at say 25 without Steve I wouldn't do it. I could not imagine having a better life that we had together, and I couldn't have reached 50 without those awesome years we had. The down side is I'm sure to die of a broken heart.

S'okay. They can't stand you either.

I wish.

I love being gay, and I would never want to change that. I happen to think that overcoming such an intense marginalization makes me stronger and more compassionate, makes me work harder, and helps me better appreciate what I've earned.

straight... i would be married with a kid on the way and life would be good.

I'll stay gay. Its the only way I've felt completely at ease with myself and admitting it to myself was perhaps the most happy day of my life.

However, I am perceived by most people as being straight. Now if they were to hang out with me a Sonoma Williams, they'd hear a very girly gasp every now and then and start to wonder about me

I will agree with the sentiments many people have made here, the world would be a much better place if everyone were Bi.

I would, if someone gave me the choice to be anything else but gay, instantly decline. I am very happy with my sexuality.

The problem is that others seem to be threatened by it.

While I do admit that being straight or bisexual would be easier, I just don't have any interest in even contemplating the possibility of changing if I were given the opportunity to do so.

Sexuality is a part of who we are as individuals. I enjoy being who I am, and that makes me be exceedingly happy with my sexual preference.

It's a tough question.

For years I just wanted to be straight and have all these gay thoughts go away. Being gay really sucked growing up and made a lot of things more difficult for me. I really think I would have had better relationships with more guys (friends) and been much less insecure had I not been a closeted gay guy.

Now that I'm a little older and I've become more comfortable with myself, I don't feel so strongly against being gay. I have realized that I'm no different than the straight guys, I just look at guys instead of girls. I'm not some limp-wristed girly man, I'm a normal man like any other (I was afraid of being a "typical gay" when I was a kid).


So I guess I don't regret being gay and I know theres nothing wrong with it, but I'm not sure I'd choose it if I had my choice. I think I'd choose to be straight.

BUT since I didn't get to choose and gay is what I got, I'm gonna rock that shit hahahaha

If I had been given a choice I would've chosen bisexuality because, as a friend of mine once said, "If you only swing one way, you miss out on half the fun." As such I'm only into dudes, but I think it'd be fun if I had more options. I'm totally cool with being gay, so don't mistake me for being self-hating. I love the person I am and I'm grateful for the experiences I've had that led to this moment in my life.
