I'm gay male and have recently found out that 5 other members of my familys surname are gay but in different families but all from the original birth line. Doesn't this indicate that the 5 gay members have had the gay gene past down through the same gene pool? Interesting also is that they come from strong Catholic faith, so social acceptance as gay would not have been a choice in their families.
Any one out there have knowledge of family members being gay in their gene pool?

Already there are concerns that the records are too public and that a simple google search can retrieve the names and other information of couple who have registered. Is this the same or different than public information available when Male/Female couples marry, or is it the same situation. Would hiding this information for same sex couples be fair if the same information is available for straight couples? Or, is this one of the "rights" of marriage. Should the information be sealed or public?

Okay, I posted a question about 'dating' and about how I'm afraid to get back into the world after everything has happened and the such in this section. Anyways, first a little info about myself.
I've never found a female attractive, I've been homosexual my entire life. Now, onto the real question.
So, I'm out with a few of my buddies, we're simply hanging out, nothing else is really going on. It's hard to explain, but I'm talking with my friend and in a few minutes, I realize that I've just hooked myself up with a girl. So I go to meet her, and surprisingly, I'm completely in love with her. But the problem is that I've NEVER been attracted to them, I've NEVER really done much around them, undoubtedly I'm nervous, but the problem is, the current situation does not fit in with who I am, I have no idea what to do and I have no idea who I am any more, could someone provide some insight?

Which one made the greater impression on how you see other races today?Why?

I've noticed that a lot of white people (not all) won't refer to AAs as black...they always say "African Americans"
I call "caucasians" white and I rarely refer to them as caucasian. I don't get offended when I am called black but I get uncomfortable when I am having a discussion about race and white people INSIST on saying African American EVERYTIME...some even go as far as correcting themselves when they "slip up" and call us black.

I think it's kinda funny actually...do you guys (those who do this) think that black people will get offended by your use of the word "black"????

I notice more and more younger folks are checking in and are letting their "voices be heard" in the senior citizens' lobby. Some seem to have stumbled into it by accident and don't know how to make a graceful exit. Some who stay are kind and some aren't.

They love to bring up native american ancestry but 1/3rd of you are African..Are you willing to re-connect with your west African past?

I can barely make it our these days and make my way through those crowds. and everything is so confusing because they are always switching it around and some of the people running through these stores give me anxiety. I wish they'd have a senior market where I could feel more comfortable and also how come it is getting harder to find a place that accepts a check? I cant stand those money cards and atms..why cant things be more senior friendly?

How can someone consider themself fully gay or fully lesbian if they had sex with someone of the opposite sex? If they could actually go through with it then they must have wanted it.

I am encoding files right now in our database, and this one is worth sharing. One participants name is actually Swasti Istika. I'm not kidding, she's a female from Indonesia. Are some parents really suck at naming their kids? Do you think she have any idea of what her name sounds like and what it implies?

I've read on here that Down Syndrome sufferers usually have a higher IQ than average and they are smarter than what people think. If they are extremely intelligent than why do they have such facial deformities?

I hope I was able to catch your attention with my head title. Anyways, I wanted to ask all of you Asians about your diet. I don't want to stereotype any of you BUT how is it that you guys stay slim/skinny and do not gain weight. I know not all Asians are skinny, but most of you are. I just want to know what is your secret because I know most of you have rice in your everyday meal (and steam/white/fried rice can make you gain weight!) Well if you guys can let me know about your secrets, I'd really appreciate it!

I was answering a question earlier about bigotry and how we as a Society seem to be progressing beyond it. Yet, I thought how much more violence there seemed to be.
Why is it that people feel the need to resort to violence to get their points across? Why hurt another person just because you don't believe in, what they do or in how they love?
We wouldn't want anyone to do that to someone *we* Loved, so how could any human being do that to another??
One person's bloody hatred ends up being some one else's battered child.
Why?

Is it because I'm a black guy with glasses that don't dress like a hip hop guy? I mostly wear
t-shirts and slacks. They pass right by me like im a ghost.

i have been crossdressing on and off for many years, just doing the basics of putting on anything i can when nobody is around, i have 'tricked' ex-gf to 'make me' dress up and they have dolled me up but it was over within 20 minutes. i want one night where i can just go out and have fun or meet people who can help me. does anyone have any suggestions...

fyi - strange as it may seem, i am definitely a straight male. its just that when i see an attractive female, 90% of the time i think wow, she's beautiful, the other 10% i think wow, i wish i could pull that look off : )

thanks! this is my first question!
