What was the pivital event in your life when you said to yourself; Thank God I am Gay

[Jory]

For me it was about three years ago Around New Years Eve. I was bored no where to go so at that time I had a Disneyland Pass so I decided to go there. Well I started at Califorina Adventure and Went on Soaring through California.

Well this ride has what is know as single riders being that if you are at the park alone some of the more popular rides if there is an empty seat in a row they will put you in it.

Well as I was waiting I over heard this young couple taking about stuff that I really could care less until I heard her say to her Boyfriend; "After we are done here you and I are going to sit down, and you are going to write down all your faults." The first thing that came to mind was Fault number one dating a bitch like you. That was mine what was your?

Oh next news years was very gay still went out alone but I didn't end up alone.

I don't think I've ever thought "Thank God I'm gay". I'm very comfortable being gay, I'm very happy being gay...but I consider it neither a blessing nor a curse. It's just one component of what makes Lex so damned interesting.

For me it was when I found out a really hot guy that I like was also gay.

I've never thanked 'God' for anything ...ever.

But I realised that I was quite happy with the idea of being gay about 30+ years ago, when I was in my mid teens and had already begun the process of coming out.

There is a difference between Accepting who you are, and being Proud of who you are. I am proud of who I am--every day.

The first time, I think, was when a very close friend of mine, got pregnant and had an abortion.

The pain and suffering it caused, physical, emotional and mental, was too much for me to even consider ... I thanked the universe for being gay - that I could never, ever have that happen to me or my partner.

And I thank the universe that I'm gay and single, every time I see my female-oriented friends (straight guys and lesbians) fight with their women.

Girls are bitches in fights. Guys can be too, but there's this whole other level that must just come built in, like having tits and a hoo-hah.

So yeah. Seeing all my hetro friends fighting with their partners at the moment makes me thank the universe I'm single and gay.

Sooo much simpler. Except when they try to get me involved in their stupid problems.

Then I get the fun of telling them they're both wrong, telling them exactly how they're wrong, and to never drag me into their crap again, because I'm not going to listen to it.

Followed by a sweet smile. ^.^

Watching my sister give birth to my niece. I always joke that if I wasn't already gay, that would have done it. Deeeeeesgusting! To know that I'd never do that to a another human being accidentally is such a relief!

The first time I went to a gay pride parade I was working at a gay bar in Toronto as a busboy.

I showed up to work, only to have a loin cloth thrown at me and be told "Welcome to the float.. we need hot guys.. here.. oil up."

I was terrified and nervous and didn't know what to expect.

An hour later, I was up on a float, surrounded by thousands of cheering men, having a blast, singing, dancing, smiling and laughing.

I didn't realize that the gay community could be so... happy. I'd always thought of gay men as a bunch of depressed, secretive perverts, not a bunch of regular guys - some effeminate and some who looked like athletes - just having fun, letting loose and partying out loud.

I realized up on that float while I was dancing to "So Emotional" by Whitney Houston that straight people will NEVER know the elation and joy of suddenly learning that you're not a freak.. that you're not a weirdo.. that you're just one of the guys.

And of course dancing on a float, dressed in a loin cloth and surrounded by thousands of men cheering for you.

THAT was when I said "Thank God I'm gay."

For me it's a constant idea. I'm glad that I will not be in a relationship where children are expected. No pressure on me to breed, to go forth and multiply.

The birth of my Nephew, My brother and his wife invited me into the Birthing room to experience his birth which was so thoughtful of them, knowing I would never have the experience. OMG the screaming the blood and gross stuff that came out of her. I'm was so glad I was gay and a man.

Not a single pivotal moment, but a dawning realization as more and more of my friends started having babies and became totally boring...

I had another 'so glad I'm gay' moment today. At the IKEA. (why I was there in the first place, I still don't quite know) If there's any place where one should be glad that one likes guys, it's there. The heterosexuality of the entire thing is suffocating. Everything, EVERYTHING is geared towards families and that's about all you'll find there. The picture-perfect mom/dad/two kids. And while I was there, checking out the Bennies and Bjorns and Smilas and whathaveyous while everywhere little kids ran rampant and men and women proved they really do come from two different planets, I thought the immortal words:

I'm so happy to be gay!

Normally when I see a guy taking abuse from some insane mean bitch, I think that.

Actually I just remembered it happened today. I was at a coffee shop and the woman at the table right next to me was giving the guy hell. He was trying to talk to her in a kind way but he appologised so much for being alive he got nowhere and she just kept on snapping at him.

I took my coffee and newspaper and moved to another table where I could not hear them.

Thank God I am gay!!

I was at the grocery store with a straight friend. As we are heading towards the entrance, this couple makes their way out, the boyfriend pushing the cart. They were maybe in their mid to late twenties, maybe a little younger than that.

Suddenly, I hear a "Woohoo!", and I turn to see the guy push the cart forward, jump up on it and ride it a couple feet through the parking lot. He jumps down from the back of the cart and seems all giggly, just having stupid fun. His girlfriend hits him in the shoulder and hisses "How many times have I told you, since we first started dating NEVER TO DO THAT!?"

I felt really bad for him.

I commented on it to my friend, but he acted like that's just normal shit... but then again my friend is the type who would sell his soul and give up all freedom of expression just so a woman would marry him. You know, those guys who accept the myth that a miserable marriage is inevitable and that there is no use fighting such a fate...

I don't do pivotal moments, but...

If I was straight, my best girl friend and I wouldn't be able to speak to each other. She'd think I was dumb, I'd talk to her tits, and we'd probably just hate each other.

As it is, we're perfect for each other. We'll probably end up and old non-married couple.

So, for that friendship, thank God I'm gay.

I was on the train headed downtown with my BF and one of the stops it makes is right off a fairly sizable college. The doors open and a gaggle (10 or so) of early 20s girls gets on.

These girls were prepped for a serious night on the town. I mean it smelled like someone applied perfume to them with a hose. We literally had trouble breathing as the car became totally permeated with the overpowering scent. Also, they were dressed in clothing that would shame most street walkers. They then proceeded to have the most inane, trite, and venal conversations imaginable about their lives and the kind of guys they wanted to find that night.

The look my BF and I exchanged said the same thing: Thank Christ I like dick.
