Whenever I'm at a concert and I see these guys being dragged around by flighty girls in their hooker-ish tops that look like bras. Thank god I'll never have to put up with that!

When I met my first boyfriend and had sex with him. I'd only had sex once before - with my roommate who was trying to teach the mechanics of it, and so I felt like that really didn't count. Bobby (aka Roberto) was the first guy I met romantically, and we had a torrid affair for about seven months. I lived in Houston, and he lived in Austin at that time, and so I had to make week-end trips to see him. Between times, we wrote torrid love letters to each other, some of which I still have. It was so wonderful to find someone who was as romantic as I was.

I honestly don't get at least half the responses in this thread. To break it down into two basic types: "because girls suck" and "because I don't like kids".

Yes, there are flighty airheads out there. And controlling bitches. And ones that live for drama. But these makes and models also can come with a penis. You've never seen any airhead gays? Or domineering homos? Or drama queens? I certainly have.

Seeing stupid girls doesn't make me think "Thank God I'm gay." It makes me think, "Thank God I've got a brain."

Seeing controlling bitches doesn't make me think "Thank God I'm gay." It makes me think, "Thank God Pubert's not like that."

And yeah, I don't like kids either. But what's that got to do with being gay? I know plenty of straights who are fantastic parents, and plenty who are childless by choice. When I see screaming kids, I don't think, "Thank God I'm gay." I just think "Thank God I'm wise enough not to have kids."

You know guys, girls have to put up with a lot of evil stuff from men. Women are not necessarily crazy bitches just because. They have to put with a lot of spusal abuse and just abuse in general. It's already bad enough that straight men refer to them in such derogatory ways through their beer ads and heterosexual educational systems of gender definitions, gay men should not do that. Women's struggle's and that of gay men are very similar in that both have been very much victimized by a pre-dominantly heterosexist male rule in both science and religion. I have many straight female friends and I've seen men so horrible things to them. Everything from hitting them right there in my presence to just shotting them down verbally. Evil!!

Having said that, I thank god everytime I have sex and I never have to worry about getting someone pregnant. One of the coolest thing about being gay is that the sex does not lead to reproduction. In heterosexual copulation, condoms break, get lost, etc. And then I see these heterosexual people being stuck with a person they totally despise and cause great harm to each other because of one night's drunken binge. See with gay sex even if you get something really bad like herpes or whatever, at least you can be responsible for yourself afterwards. Ok, so you can be as much of a bed hooper as before BUT... at least you're not forever chained to someone that you hate because of a new life involved for which you'll always have to be responsible. Cuz I do believe that kids don't ask to be born and once we bring them into this world we should care for them and show them love and compassion and goodness. Children are such vulnerable creatures and if they are brough into being due to a 'mistake' or whatever then people should be responsible for that -I'm not a pro-lifer so don't take me as such, abortion is always a good option if one does not see themselves as capable of caring for a child- but I acknowledge the fact that I am too selfish and too careless to be able to care for a child and therefore am glad that when I have sex that is not something I will ever have to worry about. I also have no inclinations to ever be a father.

Everytime I see what passes for dress sense with straight men!

But seriously the first time I held and fell asleep with a guy in my arms, I know it sounds all gooey but I remember that night vividly.

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...

Maybe, your friend and those straight people believe that this is love? ...or that living that way proves their love somehow?

Anyway, I don't recall ever thinking "Thank God I'm gay!", but I do appreciate the fact that I am a gay male whenever I see young and hard-working single mothers.

It was the first night after a lot of turmoil when I moved in with my partner and we made wild passionate love for a couple of days and enjoyed one another's company. It was the best time.

everyday I see a cute guy pass by

I felt so uncomfortable with myself all those years I was in the closet. I love finally knowing what it feels like to actually have a social/dating life and feel OK with it!

Maybe if I experience such a night I'll say it, too.

For a lot of the reasons being given, I can't see myself saying "Thank God I'm gay!" Instead, I'd be saying "Thank God for <name>" or whatever, because the same experiences can happen to heterosexuals.

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

when my brother and i were teenagers, his girlfriend was late and thought she was pregnant, i remember thinking to myself: thank god i'm gay.

when my sister did get pregnant and had her abortion. she was depressed for a good long time afterwards and i remember thinking: thank god i'm gay, again.

whenever i get reminded of my sister's promising life before she became pregnant at 16: i think again, thank god i'm gay.
(she was a high school athlete with straight-A's and colleges expressing interest in bringing her on; but became a high school drop out after my parents disowned her for getting pregnant out of wedlock)

She should sue them.

What did they do when you came out, BTW?
