Reasons you are happy being gay.

[Jory]

Okay everyone I am fucking sick of reading those post that pop up here from time to time. with the theme if you could be stright.

So this is for those of who do not want to change and are FUCKING HAPPY with who and what we are. So those who are scared or have a low self esteem about themself read the post and learn that you are not as rotton as you think you are



For me what I like about being gay is that it totally different to what society expects of us we have more fun and most know how to have a good time since we on average usually have a shorter life span according to sats. we know that we have to make the most of the life we have. Then there is the sex as males we are driven to spread our seed around so it's kind of easy for us to get laid.


There are other things but right now this is to start the thread
the only rule is you have to post why you like being gay and not I wish I was straight there are other threads for that

 

[Soilwork]

well... Gay guys have more fun.

No really... We go out with our friends and there's a camaraderie and dynamic that straight men will never understand. We have fewer limits and hang ups.

Its' not even a sexual thing.

By coming out we have had to face our sexuality and how it makes us unique in a way that frees us up and breaks down our boundaries. Straight men never have to challenge themselves in that way.

We can hang out together and if he happens to break into a circle jerk.. cool.

I like how I'm part of a rather volitile, vibrant and vicious subculture.

But Harvey says it best.

 

[sparky95]

I'm happy because I have a great boyfriend. If I was to become straight I would lose him. It doesn't seem a good trade to me!

 

[Tongue_Me]

I've been sure about my sexuality since the age of around 14 and even before then I knew I was "different" to the other boys in school. I'm proud of the fact that I had the balls to come out at an early age and stand up for who I am and not be treated like a second class citizen. That makes me happy. The copious amount of cock i've had in between helps with the happiness also.

 

[Andreus]

i like dick

whats not to be happy about

i came out in high school and i decided then that if someone didn't like it, they would not appreciate my reaction to their bullshit

i got suspended twice for beating someone up who called my a fag

you want to know one thing worse in high school than being gay?

having your girlfriend see you get your ass kicked by a fag

people learn...

i guess my point is that if you have the courage to face the world as an openly gay person, and tackle that monster, you aren't really afraid of a whole lot more. The freedom of not having that secret spills over into all aspects of your life.

thats why openly gay people have so much fun...

they have faced an inner monster and learned that the only bad way to be gay is to keep it a secret.

freedom, courage, and cock are my three reasons.

 

[star-warrior]

The comaraderie.

 

[cocktales]

Hmmmmmmm:

First I think our life (my partner and I) is NOT much different than most heterosexual couples; except for the obvious! lol

We love one another, like most couples, I hope....

We have GREAT sex!

We are comfortable in our community.

We have great family and friends who we love and love us...

Hey, I could go on and on; but if you've been together going on 28 years, then I think we are totally happy being Gay! lol

 

[b_o_n_n_i_e]

Let me count the reasons... countless!

Well, for starters, I am being myself and I love that. People around me are happy and it makes me happy to see them happy. People love me for who I am and that's reason enough to feel blessed that I'm gay.

 

[woaini]

I am so happy and lucky to be attracted to men!

Men are beautiful~

 

[BrandonSBCA]

Because it's who I am, and I would rather be happy being who I am then be sad being what I'm not.

 

[lumberjack037200]

none.

life would be easier as a straight male. c'mon let's be honest.

we could start bragging about our sexual interests at an early age. not at 23.

we wouldn't feel/be alienated.

social doctrines wouldn't be an issue.

---those that argue with me about the subject have a difficult time explaining the importance of post-stonewall politics and culture, why harvey milk is important, and who larry kramer is, and if andrew holleran is still alive.

explain to me why intertextuality and context are different and i will love you.

but know this, i'm afreud to love.

 

[lumberjack037200]

although, i do find paul bunyan to be the only gay icon i can look up to an find attractive.

mute point.

 

[lumberjack037200]

lastly, before i go to bed.

i find it interesting that the prompt for discussion is reasons you are happy to be gay, but i see a trend of putting "its becasue i'm with someone else" or "i get to have lots'o'sex" so the truth is, no one really is happy by themselves, unless it's validated through someone else.

hmm...go figure.

 

[Newbie_69]

It makes me realize that the world is different...

 

[Nonimus]

It makes me realize that the world is different...

That is such a great answer! - i'm from a staunch working-class back ground, where you're expected to get a girlfreind, get married and then support sprogs with a shit job working shit hours for shit pay. Where I come from that's considered 'honourable'

When I was a young teen I saw the expectancies building up for me and thought 'Fuck that!' - and went and did my own thing, worked, travelled saw things that most of my generation only wish they could see and experience (not realising all they have to do is just do it!).

If there's one thing I can be greatful for, for being gay is the outlook that it's given me on life - I'm 'different' and so i act different.

And I get to suck cute guy's cocks - what more do I need to say?

 

[Swellegant]

How do I love me, let me count the ways...

1. I'll never get anybody pregnant accidentally... a broken condom might result in an STD, but not a whole new person with pediatrician bills, dentist bills, orthodonture bills, and college tuition bills, who will probably turn on me at some point or another... but if I wanted such a person, I could still have one.
   
2. I can wear anything I want without worrying whether it makes me look gay.
   
3. I can drink with my pinkie in or out as I choose, and I can drink cosmos or beer or mai-tais or neat scotch (I don't, but I can).
   
4. I can do anything I want for a living without worrying if it's "women's work."
   
5. I can be a selfish slutty little fuck without getting hauled onto the Dr. Phil show.
   
6. I don't have to pretend to give a flying crap about sports (straight guys do that, you know).
   
7. I get to see the world from a different perspective than all those "they have it so easy" types (not that I believe there is such a person)... if suffering is good for the soul, I must be a fucking saint by now.
   
8. Gay Pride Parades are waaaay cooler than St. Patrick's Day Parades and Chinese New Year Parades. Even Dykes on Bikes with their titties flappin' in the breeze are more fun than rank after rank of Lions and Elks (not that I have anything against Lions and Elks, they do a lot of good in the world; but they're not cool)
   
9. I can watch Gone With The Wind and/or Bridge Over the River Kwai and be able to relate to both.
   
10. I can't be drafted (OK, for some people that's a drawback, but it gives me the most amazing sense of relief).
    
11. I can be a top or a bottom, fuck or get fucked, as the whim moves me.
    
12. I can think of oral and frottage as "real sex."
    
13. There's at least one person I can look at in a straight porno movie.

If I think of any more through the course of the day, I'll come back and let you know.

na, life is not better as a str8. then u have to go around oogling guys in private and that's no fun. i've been bragging about my sexual interests forever, specifically i can get laid way more then any str8 guy ever has, plus gay sex is always much more fun compared to vanilla missionary str8 sex. i was born in a big city so maybe social doctrines never applied to me, but i've never had that issue. plus for most of human history homosexuality was celebrated in most cultures and it will be again.

happy being gay? well in high school when all the dudes were pissed they couldn't get into the girl's locker room, i was exactly where i wanted to be. plus it seems we can get away with lots of shit str8 dudes can't and people just say "ooo well he's just gay. what do u expect?" sometimes, and this may not be a good thing, it can act as the universal get out of jail free card.
i think two guys can share a bond and have an intimacy that goes beyond anything heteros experience and once u break out of the closet then ur no longer chained down by the fear that "omg if I do this I won't be NORMALLLLLLLLLLL!!" and therefore u can do things most other people only dream about.

Honestly, that only works if you're a straight white wealthy good-looking male. And even they don't have it all that easy. Just because people appear to have it easy from your perspective, they don't feel like they have it easy; and what is ease but a perspective?

we could start bragging about our sexual interests at an early age. not at 23.

And where they're making up stories to tell their buddies, we're actually fucking like bunnies (or not, as the mood takes us): boys are way more likely to put out than girls are, no matter what your straight friends tell you.

we wouldn't feel/be alienated.

Everybody is alienated by someone, somewhere, sometime in their life. Even the white wealthy good-looking guys. And even though a straight male is unlikely to get kicked out of the house for being straight, he also has fewer chances to learn self-reliance and tolerance for others... he never has to grow a spine.

social doctrines wouldn't be an issue.

I guess not. But then those social doctrines wouldn't ever get changed, and we'd all still be in the Dark Ages. Not that homosexuals have been the catalyst to all cultural and social progress, but cultural and social progress does not derive from the empowered, it derives from the disenfranchised. Status quo leads to decadence and decadence leads to destruction.

those that argue with me about the subject have a difficult time explaining the importance of post-stonewall politics and culture, why harvey milk is important, and who larry kramer is, and if andrew holleran is still alive.

I won't have much difficulty, but I have to go to work in an hour so I don't have the time.

explain to me why intertextuality and context are different and i will love you.

Intertextuality? Context? What? Have you been listening to Queer Theorists again? Naughty!

but know this, i'm afreud to love.

That's a good one! Was that on purpose or was it a Freudian slip?

although, i do find paul bunyan to be the only gay icon i can look up to an find attractive.

Paul Bunyan's hot. I wonder how big his dick is.

mute point.

"Moot," I think, is the word you meant. "Mute" means you can't talk... and I heard you loud and clear.

 

[Hard Luck]

I doubt I'm any happier being gay than I would be otherwise. I'm a very happy guy.


But, yeah, the comraderie of gay guys is great ... and I seem to enjoy it more than I picture myself enjoying the comraderie with straight guys.

The relationships with women, free of sexual conquest dynamic, are perhaps a little more in-depth than they might be with all other women but my lover if I were straight ... and that's a good thing.

Of course, I think the sex is so unbelievably good and makes me happy ... but I've got to assume that would be a wash if I were straight.



That's really not much ... compared to all the other things in life and in myself that make me happy.


Pretty ironic, since the word gay was derived from happy (though, now of course it's come full circle, and tends to mean lame).

 

[RationalLunacy]

Because if I weren't gay, I'd probably be a Jehovah's Witness.
