Your Sexuality

[Sosaku]

Hey, ever feel like for the first time ever you may be gay/bi/straight? Well stop thinking…
Now, get a pad of paper, and a brown bag, and a rainbow of colors/coloring pencils/markers
Put the writing utensils into the bag, then shake the bag. Pull out ONE color.
No matter what the color is, look at the color, (or draw a circle in the top corner and color it in) what do you feel? Draw as close to what you feel as possible
Now, (Without thinking) what did you draw? The first thing you notice? Now look at the minute details.
Name your drawing (If you want), frame it, keep it somewhere you will always see it.

Now, I bet you’re wondering what this has to do with your sexuality, nothing but everything at the same time.
Now you can think for a little bit, answer this:
• Why did you name your picture what you named it?
• Why does it need a name?
• Could you have left it nameless and just let people guess?
• How does this picture reflect who you are?
• If the picture was nameless, could people guess what it is?
• Would the people who are your closest friends love it when they saw it?
No, I did not tell you your sexuality…You did. Stop thinking about what you may be because you see something and think it looks nice. If you truly feel that you are gay/bi/straight, so be it. If you’re religion doesn’t accept it. Don’t worry about it! You are who you are, you were born that way for a reason.

Thanks, while I didnt do what you said the last 2 lines really helped, I am happy being straight, It just feels right to me. I know hormones will cast my mind astray just reading this will help.

Just typing this has made me smile properly for the first time in a while

Thank you.

And to all those who are unsure just remember that people will still respect you no matter who you like,

Did you come up with this thread idea yourself? Because this is a very witty and most likely effective method of sharing this concept, I very much like this. +rep for you. You've beaten all my efforts to convey the same exact message. Capture people who are questioning their sexuality, making them think this thread was one of those tricks to tell what your sexuality is, and then likening sexuality to something like that in a way anyone could understand. Fuck, I love you. :P

[Sosaku]

Lol, thank you! I did come up with it myself. I'm not sure if anywhere on the internet there may be something like it. But I kinda got annoyed with people doubting who they thought they were because of ONE incident, so i did my best to help people with a simple exercise to get people in contact with their more emotional side (for some, its music but for quite a bit, its art) then get them while they are in that emotional state, to feel who they are. And I love you too! <3

hey michael very cool post and thanks

[kuuliluuk]

ten points! That is exactly the right way to explain it. Everyone needs to explore his/her inner world and discover all the colors before making far reaching conclusions.

[Sosaku]

From one Michael to another...+rep

Thank You!!!!

I would suggest not believing that what you feel is the ONLY option you have, remember, gay/bi/straight/pan is just a label! If you love men, you can call yourself straight, but love guys (this is if you are a guy that is....[or girl, but then the label is technically true haha {if you really are straight}])

Sexuality in it self is fluid, say it outloud, it's probably a very easy word to say, it just rolls off the toung haha. If you still question, post your questions here...

Even though this thread isn't really applicable for me, considering I "came out" 7 years ago, it is an excellent way to confront people with things in a way no one would expect, and yet it's extremely effective. I, for one, am impressed.
And I'm not easily impressed.
Good thinking. Worth a +rep.

Most sincerely,
Robert.

[Sosaku]

Thank you Robert :)
