Being gay. Would you choose it?

[Joshua D. Boggess]

Being gay has so far been the absolute worst thing in the world for me. I would have never chosen it for me. I know there are people who are gay/bi and either happy or proud or whatever, but my question is if you had the choice. If you had the choice to be gay or straight, would you choose to be gay, and why?

[Skeptical Bear]

I choose gay. Why? I'm not really sure. I know that sexuality doesn't completely change a person's personality, but I'm more comfortable around guys. Always have been. And even if I were to choose a more acceptable sexuality, I still struggle with other problems so I might as well stick with this one and grow some balls.

[Swagamemmnon]

I would choose to be gay because I can't imagine not being gay and it feels like a part of what defines me. While it has been difficult from time to time, it's been worth the trouble of coming out.

I Don't Know Any Straight Person that Would Choose To Be Gay ; The Only Reason Gay People Want To Be Straight ; Is Because A Lot Of People Don't Praise Gays As Much As Straight People . .

[Sonic Boom]

Why the hell would I choose a sexuality that is socially taboo and prevents me from having a normal family life?

In a world where it isn't taboo however, I would be indifferent to my sexuality.

[HunterSteele]

I'd never choose to be gay. But that's how things worked out for me.

[Wonder.]

If I could choose ANY sexuality it would be asexual but, unfortunately, that's not an option.

I would choose to be gay just because there would be so many goddamn straight people. If I was straight, I probably wouldn't feel so awkward around guys as I do now but I would probably be really weird around girls then. I enjoy being friends with females more than males, so definately gay.

[Midland]

Now that I've come to accept myself, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[OregonStateDude]

I think I would choose it. Girls just bring too much drama to the table. And I'm just more comfortable around average guys, doesn't matter if they are straight or whatever.

[LatinaVivit]

I'm not sure. Here's the thing: it would be great to be 'normal' to society, but think about the pressures straight guys have to go through. They can't act gay at all, if they do, they could be labeled and feel really uncomfortable. When you're out and proud, labels and stereotypes don't really mean anything anymore. I guess I would like to see what being straight was like before I could say 'yes' or 'no'.

Exactly Hunter,Latina, being gay/str8 is not a choice, it is who we are.....I don't know many str8 guys that would choose to be gay because of the way society treats us, but that is who we are and I'm fine with being myself.....can't be anyone else

[Dake]

Never !

[Stryker125]

I'm straight, but I've always liked and respected gay people alot. Every gay guy I know is proud of themselves, and confident in who they are. I don't have nearly that much self esteem.

[RoseyCadaver]

At times, I wish I could be straight, and pray to some monster entity listening to me to change me, but at other times I like it. I like having a tight knit community. I like knowing people who will love me as a friend even if I'm different. I've always liked being different, so I have no problem with be the actual different part.

I just don't like the hate I get from people.

[Joshua D. Boggess]

This actually surprised me alot. I didn't think anyone would choose gay, but the responses genuinely made me feel better about me as a person. Thankyou

[Mortal Coil]

I have absolutely nothing against gay people, but I wouldn't choose to go through the bullshit that they get.

[JimmyIsNowAMan]

I don't think I could choose to be other than what I am ... gay, Because if you try to be what you're not, you'd have even more problems like always being pulled to one type of orientation while trying to "choose" to be another...it doesn't seem to work.

[chiliguy]

I agree with "Sonic Boom". There are many people who do not approve gays. The homophobic people. They are too many, and they are everywhere! And I can't really bare that much racism... So, I would choose to remain straight.

[LiamC]

To be honest, no. It is a bit awkward at times, for example people assuming I'm straight and asking me if I fancy *insert hot girl everyone fancies* but it's just one small part of who I am, it doesn't affect the fact that I'm a joker, or I that I loveKelly Clarkson or that I like spending time with my friends. And those who do know treat me just the same so I wouldn't change it because it's just who I am and I like exactly how I am.

[SmileyFace13]

if i were to change my sexuality i would just keep it the way it is cuz being gay shows who i am and the friends i hang out with...without it i wouldn't be where im at right now...yeah it's hard living in a society where barely anyone excepts who i am but whatever i got other people who dont really care about what im into or what i do
:yeah:

[Gigablue]

I'm straight, and if I had the choice, I would choose to be straight. There is a lot of discrimination against gay people, and I wouldn't want to have to deal with that. If there weren't the discrimination, I wouldn't care at all.

[havingfun]

.............

[Perfectly Flawed]

Well I'm pan / bi (not completely sure yet) so it really doesn't matter to me at all, but if I had to choose between the two I would say straight because there is less discrimination.

[swaggerman84]

No I wouldn't however there's a lot of perks being gay like they always have money and they are well dressed some of them can dance although I think I'm a better dancer just saying...

[teen.jpg]

I would stay as what I am ... bi. I love myself, and dont see much reason to change. Life may be harder being non-straight, but I can take it.

[workingatperfect]

No I wouldn't however there's a lot of perks being gay like they always have money and they are well dressed some of them can dance although I think I'm a better dancer just saying...

I don't see what being gay has to do with having money....

I would choose to be bi. I'm already attracted to women, but not romantically, so I would like to be able to have that romantic connection to girls. However, I would not give up men if I had the choice.

[tundravortex]

i would pick straight mainly because right now im bi but im trying to lean twords straight

[Extreme586]

Hell no. Having to wonder whether someone is straight or not on top of the usual question on whether they like you or not is just too much. I wish my feelings didn't affect me having regular guy friends who I know I would enjoy hanging out with more. I isolate myself because I can't really tell anyone who I am. Thus disconnection from literally everyone has taken place.

I just wish I was given a fair shot at life like everyone else. It feels like all my problems stem from this one issue.

And worst of all, the few people I actually have those feelings for do nothing but break my heart. One got a girlfriend and the other will probably never even look at me the same again. After the class I had with him freshman year I started acting all awkward, like really really bad to the point where I know it made him uncomfortable. So therefore I'm completely screwed and still have a year and a half left to brood on all of it.

the person who did this thread said there is a lot of discrimination agains gay people and I was just simpy saying besides the discrimination there a lot of perks being gay like the examples I used

[Lovelife090994]

I would choose to be straight although I pretty much am anyway simply because I want a wife one day and a girlfriend soon. To me it is a lifestyle choice in the end (I know I made someone mad there) but to me why not? You should choose what makes you happiest and what to go to, right?

But being gay doesn't automatically give you money or dancing abilities, that's idiotic.

[swaggerman84]

[QUOTE=workingatperfect;2160269]But being gay doesn't automatically give you money or dancing abilities, that's idiotic.[/



That's not what I said though.... when I said they have money they are usaully well educatedsoo my point is sure that being gay is hard but they have good qualities

[Skyline]

I would choose to be gay, being gay for me has been eye opening. It has made me rethink some of my life, and I have learned that just because someone is different from everyone else doesn't mean they have to be treated the as such...

[Elysium]

I'm indifferent to my sexuality. Being any sexuality aside from heterosexual seems no different to me and I don't think it would affect me any more or less.

I already get pretty mad and defensive if someone is even slightly anti-LGBT. My attitude wouldn't be any different if I discovered that I were gay, asexual, transgender, what have you, etc.
