-I am gay myself, so really i should find it easy to say, maybe i feel this way because gay is used as an insult, but i don't know.

-I seem to have no problem writing the word gay, but i just can't say it. How can this be?

-I even named my you tube account 'magicd*ke', why do i find it so easy to write these word but not to say them?

Now that I've got our attention- I've noticed the media portrays most gay relationships as 'open' or 'uncommitted,' where the
couple is together, but allowed to sleep around and fool around with other men while in the relationship. Why is this such a phenomenon in gay culture? Why is it allowed? Why is the prominent portayal of gay couples not one of complete fidelity?

Why don't such gay couples hold themselves to the same standards as straight couples- where any sort of cheating/fooling around outside the relationship is not permitted without any angst?

Hopefully I don't sound too ignorant- this would help me understand why/how/how many gay couples actually want marriage rights like straight couples, but don't necessarily hold themselves to the same standards (not to say that all relationship standards of straight couples are high).

My cousin is 14. She hangs out with nothing but girls. She has one friend that goes everywhere she goes. they shower together, sleep together, and play around with each other a lot. Her mother thinks she is a lesbian. I told her not to think this and even if she is that it was ok. What do you think??? Is she or what?? Thanx...

Ok, So I have had a girlfriend and I had my first kiss with her, and I really felt something, we kissed for like 3 hours no kidding! But I am physically attracted to guys more than girls, but no matter the guys personality I am not mentally attracted to them. They could be really nice, and act like one of my best friends that is a girl but I wouldn't like him mentally. I get along with girls alot more than guys, and I am still kind of attracted to girls. But I am attracted to guys more so physically, I dont know what I should do! Alot of people at my school think I am gay, and I really dont know why! Probably cuz' all my friends are girls, but they really dont know! Anyways... Help!

I'm a 19 year old guy. i split with my girlfriend recently and well have been wanting to experiment - even when i had the girlfriend. i mean like obsessively thinking about it (like not sleeping much). I'm really only interested in trying it. I've never wanted to do it on the basis of attraction just interest. I have no interest in kissing guys or having any sort of emotional relationship.

I'm set up to try it on thurs but really nervous about it. Should i try it? If i do does it mean i'm gay? does it mean i'm going to hell?

until their hair line starts to receded?

Most of the hair loss suffered from black women has to do with styling the hair instead of hereditary or illness, like other races. Why do they wear these styles until the point of baldness.

I know cuz of my friends that care about me and support me. Without them, the fight would be long and unfruitful.

I love my friends and I thank them a lot!!
Do you remember to tell your support system that you love them, too?

My Grandad gave all of his grandchildren nicknames, and because I loved playing in the red dirt of East Texas mine was "Filth Pot"
A couple of the others were Seagul/ because of her skinny legs and Pistol Pete/ because he was a hand full.

I got tired of the other section in Society & Culture, so I thought I'd come here to visit. There was so much racism, and "I don't care if I offend you," and I hate all censorhip, and blah blah blah...

I was wondering if the more mature generation had these same issues or if things get more peaceful with age?

Thanks : )

I stopped working on my Dr.'s advice in Nov. of 2005 for a mental disorder because the stress of my job environment was too much. I was getting treatment throughout 2006 for this disorder and did not work, tried going back to work in Jan of 2007, had to quit again for the same reason in April. Filed state disability in May and was informed that my "base period" in 2006 showed no earnings, so no denial but no award amount either... Limbo! Was advised to request in writing that they use a base period from the end of 2005 from my last job since I was "industrially disabled" throughout 2006. They keep asking me if I worked in 2006 despite having told them in writing 3 times NO, as well as WHY NOT!! Don't know if my understanding of "industrially disabled" is off, but asked my case worker and even SHE said she doesn't know when asked to define the term!! Can ANYONE help me or offer solid advice?!?

America is supposed to be a leading country today. Yet on producing scientists we rank world-wide number 25? How come we're a rich country yet an average American is stupid. How is that we're supposed to be a "melting pot" yet racist still lives on strongly. Immigrants come here hoping for a better life, some were told in America the streets are paved with gold, yet when they come they work long hours for minor wage.
Is America really that great? Now don't get me wrong I live in NYC, and I'm happy here but I'm just saying...

I told someone who was still in the closet that I liked them and they rejected me, but looked at me with sad eyes afterwards for a long time, but never said anything to me. What happened here?

Alright, well I was just wondering if theres was a way to tell if someone was into other chicks. I knows theres really nothing solid until you actually ask them. But I really dig this girl I know, and I always feel like shes flirting with me and we just kind of click. I could just be getting flirting messed up with her just being friendly, but I don't know, and I'm starting to fall for her. Any help would be great, and I know theres other questions that have been asked like this, but the answers on those didn't really help. So if you could, let me know what you think.
