Are you comfortable with your sexuality?

[Ryhanna]

This is just a general question. Are you comfortable with your sexuality, whatever it is?

Do you sometimes wish that you were straight, or are you totally happy the way you are? Have you ever felt that you were disappointing somebody by being gay, lesbian, bisexual? Do you still feel this way?

Do you ever feel judged by your sexuality?

[Atonement]

I'm happy with my sexuality because I define my sexuality; My sexuality does not define me.

This turns out to be the key to happiness, I believe. People get caught up on labels, societal pressure to act a certain way, love a certain type of person, or put themselves in an archetype. I disagree that it has to be that way. What do you like? Cool. That's your sexualtiy. It's not nearly as complex as society makes us believe.

Are you comfortable with your sexuality, whatever it is?

For the most part, yes.

Do you sometimes wish that you were straight, or are you totally happy the way you are? Have you ever felt that you were disappointing somebody by being gay, lesbian, bisexual? Do you still feel this way?

Yeah, sometimes I do wish I were straight. I could live an easier life, I'd have my rights and wouldn't have to fight for them, I wouldn't have to face judgement and hate, I'd have 10x less trouble finding relationships, I could openly talk about my crushes and attractions (I can, but personally I feel I can't even though I'm publicly out), if I want to have kids there would be no confusion, I'd be like the 90% of the population that is straight. I've been hearing a lot of gay slurs and jokes and laughing and it has been getting me down lately.

But I do like liking girls, I mean wow look at them phoaaa, how could I be straight, the problem isn't me being whatever I am, the problem is everyone else being straight. In all seriousness though, I do like it. It makes me different, I feel like it gives me a more aware perspective of the world, the problems I face make me think and grow, I'm a part of a community, and I get to run around in glitter and rainbows to celebrate this. I know the cons seem to out-weigh the pros but I truly do like being this way, despite having bouts of insecurity.

Do you ever feel judged by your sexuality?

Yes and no. I've never had any direct problems, no bullying or "you're going to hell", no rejection, but I am currently doing a huge project on how to make my school a more LGBTQ+ inclusive place, and I'm handing out surveys and 99% of the people who have completed so far have made jokes and laughed, and I feel like they're personally mocking me. When I hear slurs in the classrooms, it gets to me, it makes me feel ashamed, I can only desensitize myself for so long. Sometimes I feel like my friends only accept me in theory, that when I actually have a girlfriend and we show affection around them that it may make them uncomfortable, but this is all temporary, and short. It sounds like a lot, but it doesn't last long. Most days, I don't even have to think about it, and most day I do, I do accept myself.

[Syvelocin]

Totally and completely happy.

Nope. No offence, but I'm glad I'm not straight. *shrug* I'm not often sure why, cause if I was it'd be fine cause I like guys. I find girls both more exciting and easier to be with. And a thousand times more attractive, in personality and physicality.

And if I wasn't, my girlfriend would have never happened. I usually hate to get overly sappy in "public," but this is the single-most meaningful relationship of my life, and I've been in a good few. Some turned out to be bastards, some just faded out of the picture. I mean, two years, and I'm as crazy for her as the day I met her. That's never happened to me before. I mean, if I was straight I'd probably still want this relationship, but I'm afraid if I was I wouldn't be open-minded enough still to notice and she would have come and gone in my life without a second look.

I was more judged for being a "slag" because of my dependent behaviour that every time I left a relationship I jumped into another, than any of the lesbian rumours (which at the time, were just that). But not a ton of people knew when I first realized it. Nowadays, I don't give a fuck. I've had derogatory comments, but it's all worth it in my head. If this is what I have to go through, so be it. EVENTUALLY, the old, white conservatives are going to die. Eventually, the majority will be supporters. (Well, actually, I think we already passed the majority mark last poll I looked at. 51%) If that's what it takes, I can wait that long.

[Stryker125]

I still don't even completely know what my sexuality is, and I guess I'm fine with that.

[Lovelife090994]

Not really, I have no sexuality really, nothing gets me.

[Ryhanna]

I still don't even completely know what my sexuality is, and I guess I'm fine with that.

I understand what you mean. I'm still not sure what I am, but I'm completely happy just being 'me.' I'm not really one of those 'don't label me' types, but I suppose it's true: I'm not gay or straight, even bisexual. I'm just me.

[Shadow]

I am happy with my sexuality. I would not change anything as I am totally happy with my sexuality. I did feel like I was disappointing someone by being bisexual but I no longer feel this way anymore. I do feel judged by my sexuality, yes.

[teen.jpg]

I LOVE being bi. I just wish it were easier to deal with at times.

[Faolan]

I'm pretty comfortable with being bisexual. I'm shy and it would be the most difficult thing in the world to come out. I don't feel judged at all in my community. Over half of my friends are bi/gay.

[Gloria1917]

Im completely content with my sexuality! I'm straight, but open, and I wouldn't want to be anything else. :)

[JJoshy]

I wish i could be comfortable being gay, im pretty sure im gay, but id be letting a lot of people down if i am.
I do sometimes wish i could be straight and things would be simple and i could be what people expect.

[Horatio Nelson]

I'm straight as an arrow. Totally cool with it and wouldn't want to be anything else.

[Skyline]

I love being gay! I think it has made me generally more accepting of others. I feel if I were straight I would be my old stubborn self...

[CastigateMe]

I am bisexual, very happy with my sexual and very comfortable in my own skin.
I feel like I don't get too judged often for it, which surprises a lot of people because I live in Oklahoma, but everyone is generally accepting of things outside of "the norm" here.

I used to wish I were straight or gay, because I felt like my sexuality may or may not be legitimate after having spent too much time reading about what other people think about it, but have now come to the conclusion that I don't give a jolly damn about those people.

[ShaunMino]

Very comfortable.
My mates and i all consider ourselves open minded.
Very happy this way.

[liezia]

i am i think im bi and want to exsplore

[crazypete92]

I used to be very afraid and scared that i was bisexual, but now as im 17 and had 3 years to sort out what my thoughts are i am comfortable with it. i care less what others think and am willing to stand for how i feel.

[LiamC]

I'm gay, and yeah for the most part I'm perfectly comfortable with it! All my closest friends know, and they're fine with it, which is great. It's a part of who I am, and I wouldn't want to change that because then I wouldn't be me! There are times when I see casual homophobia and I think '*sigh* it would be easier to be straight' but I wouldn't really want to be any other way to be honest <3

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Im more than comfortable with my bisexuality and kindve proud of it.
Homphobia, however is part of everydy life and I cant stand it :'(

[Pierce]

At one point I hated being gay. I think I kinda knew I was gay for a while but accepted it only a year ago. Since then I'm completely fine with it, actually happy that I'm gay. I can't see myself being with a woman, I never did really. So at one time I hated it and wished I was straight, but now I couldn't be happier.

[Princess Ariel]

Do you sometimes wish that you were straight, or are you totally happy the way you are?

For the most part i'm happy.

Have you ever felt that you were disappointing somebody by being gay, lesbian, bisexual?

Oh yes.

Do you still feel this way?

mhm. My grandfather is a huge homophobic bastard and i'm a lesbian and hes all he has left, so i have to pretend to be straight around him. He said that gays were a thing from satan, not a human.. a thing.

[WalkingOnDisaster]

I am straight. I go to school with a bunch of bisexuals and bicurious people, and frankly being the only straight person sucks sometimes. But I'm not willing to change.
