A
lot of gay people have said that if they could choose, they'd choose to be straight. Being gay is hard. Yeah, it's hard. But I bet that being straight is. I'm happy just as I am ... If I could choose, I'd choose to stay gay.

  | Posted Nov 28th, 2006 at 3:41PM yyyeahh! Go you :) I had that struggle with my ex, she was all like "I hope I'm straight for uni" I was like: ******* IT! Your wonderful whatever you are! :P xxx   |
 | Posted May 1st, 2007 at 8:42AM If I wasn't gay, I wouldn't have a relationship with a wonderful woman. So I'm happy. |
 | Posted May 26th, 2007 at 3:55PM I'm not happy with who I am. It's not a choice at all and the whole thing has been eating away at me since I was 12. |
 | Posted Nov 6th, 2007 at 5:03PM Melsafurse -- I think that we each have to define ourselves. Whether you call yourself straight, bicurious, "straight but," or whatever, that's up to you. Your attraction to others is personal and not a matter of debate for others. Some bicurious people I've known have eventually made the leap into defining themselves as gay. Others have realized that they were actually straight after all. Often, it actually does take a real experience or at least the prospect of an experience to help bring that definition into focus. |
| Posted Nov 6th, 2007 at 5:14PM Thanks marieceleste35. While I don't think that whom we are attracted to is a matter of choice, how we deal with it certainly is: We can accept it or we can run from it. Sounds like Melsafurse could use a friend, too. |
 | Posted Nov 15th, 2007 at 1:18PM i'm glad that you value who you are :) and yes, being straight is hard, i can testify to it. i imagine being gay is hard too. really, trying to find love is hard. |
 | Posted Nov 15th, 2007 at 1:20PM You should be who you are! Straight or gay, relationships are way hard! Unfortunately gay relationships get more crap then others and for the ones that last for so long its wonderful because you are dealing with much more than a straight relationship! |
| Posted Nov 17th, 2007 at 5:42AM @redholly -- It makes me mad, too... But it's an investment. Previous generations fought even harder than my generation does, so that I can enjoy a little more freedom and equality. I fight, though, so that future generations will be a little more equal and a little more free. @journeyfulloflaughter -- Trying to find love is definitely hard, and I think it probably is no matter who or what you are, whether that's gay or straight, human or unicorn. ;-) |
| Posted Nov 17th, 2007 at 5:45AM @Aminik -- Well said. :) Relationships are always hard because it's not just about one person but about two people. (Or, I guess, more than that sometimes, depending on the relationship.) We can't control the other person, and that's what makes it so hard. |
