Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender - October 2007

For me and several people in my family, Y!A has been very influential in our lives, so I just wanted to see how it has changed other people's. If you can't think of anything right off the bat, try a little harder...you'll find something.

For me, it was important in my coming out process. I came out on Answers about a month ago as my first baby step, and now I'm coming out running. I don't think I would have been able to take these steps as quickly as I'm taking them if it weren't for Answers.

Furthermore, I feel like I'm helping others as well--helping them through the same inner turmoil I went through. It was also a great way for me to meet people like me, to know that I'm not alone in my struggles. Now I actually have people that I can talk to, people that I can relate with.

On a negative note, it's become a serious distraction when I'm trying to do homework...and I stay up until all hours of the night answering.

But enough about me, how has Answers changed YOUR life?

This was said to me by a fundie homophobe.

Is it wrong to laugh when they say things like that?

I am a regular at a certain pub, every thursday they have a quizz evening, and I am on one of the teams.
Last week I saw a really hot guy. Brown hair, glasses (he looks sexy with glasses). I noticed instantly that he was alone, and I noticed that he does not smoke the entire evening. (No, I was not staring at him; my eyes passed over him from time to time.)
I get the vibe from him that he is gay.
Now, I do not want to "pick him up", I want to get to know him a bit and after finding out more about him decide if I want to pursue a relationship with him.
I more or less have the idea how I will approach, as he will be there in a group...
Because I was in the closet for so long, never had a boyfirend, and I have never had a girlfriend either, as I never wanted a girlfriend(sad for a 24yr old!) so I feel a bit inept, Not in the intitial approach, but in how to proceed.
How do I know the right time to reveal I am gay? How do I let him know I am interested but not easy?

The debate that seems to be ages old in this section:
"Why are people gay?"

If we had an answer to this question, a positive, proven, 100 percent accurate answer, would it really change anything?

Genes are only spread when people reproduce, so if homosexuality is genetic, how does it still exist? It doesn't really seem to follow the principles of Darwinism.

I always spend time analyzing everything wondering if they are possibly gay when in reality they are most likely straight. It also makes it hard to listen to the professor.

I dont understand why nature made people gay. My theory is it is the way the brain developed. It makes perfect sense, the attraction towards people is all in the brain. Differnt circumstances imprinted the brain into liking the same gender. Bi people are Bi because there brain is attracted towards both genders.

What do you think, does what I say make sense to you people.

Many people think of sexuality as a biological matter. Yet, sexuality is mostly cutural.

I know this isn't a LGBT issue. However, some people say that same sex marriage will lead to this. If it does, would you be okay with it or against it?

If you don't know what polygamy is, just go to the next question. (Yes, someone won't know what it is.)
