Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender - November 2007

I read an article on MSN yesterday about arranged marriages. A banker from New York went back to India to find his bride. I don't truly understand why in contemporary society men would go back to India to find a wife. I am not Indian and would love to gain some insight into why they just don't find a girl here in the city. Isn't this hypocritical? They come here to make money and i know to date around and to have their fun but they go back to find a bride and after 3 dates they are married? I know personally of 3 guys, all in finance, who have done this in the past few years but I don't get it....any thoughts?? is family really the issue or do they want a true indian wifey?

Okay, not exactly on topic, but since i am a feminized guy, thought this group might be more helpful! What would be a good hairstyle that is extremely feminine on a guy? My hair is really short now (maybe 2") but with side swept bangs down to my cheek. The goal is to make it edgy, VERY feminine, with no way to mask it as a masucline style. We have been thinking of Posh's style, but it has a lot of growing to do for that. So what are some ideas as it grows?? Any pictures with examples would be appreciated.

hi. my best friend (who is also female) has always said that if given the chance she would hook up with me. she has just found out that she is pregnant and we are both married (young) but i feel like my chance is about to slip by me if i dont do something. when ever we lay in bed watching TV or something, she always asks me to play with her back or hand but i dont know if this is a hint to tak ethings frther or she just doesnt know how to make the right move. i dont want to make a move and offend her especially when we are such great friends. can anyone help me with this one? any hints as to how i go about this would be great.
THANKS

I like this girl, and she knows i'm lesbian i told her myself when she asked did i have a boyfriend. but i'm afraid to tell her because i don't want to jeopardize our friendship. But i've been liking her for a while every since the beginning of the year. i just don't want to scare her off or nothing but it's odd when i told her i was lesbian she really didn't have a reaction or surprised. usually when ppl ask that ..they are surprised. but every since then we talk a lot more. but this thursday she has offered to braid my hair and i'm thinking about telling her should i or should i not??

Thanks for your advice

By my brother and his football team, and Dad once had a talk with me then that was it. I am talking about Aunts and Uncles and cousins and what not. I have an older cousin who lives in Virginia, very religous family, and at a family BBQ this summer his wife came up to me and said "Do you mind if I use you and your guy as an example to my kids of just what a gay relationship should be?"

At first I was a little taken aback in an embarassed sort of way, so I told her not to make a big deal of it now, but later in private I think it would be lovely.

Now keep in mind that all these years he has come with me to weddings and funerals and holiday celebrations.

My way of looking at it is that none of them ever came to me for approval of their relationships. I automatically accept who they chose. I think it's what family does. I did tell my close circle of friends and told them it's really on a need to know basis. They told me, Dude, we're not stupid. It's cool.

Is this unusual?

I believe if the straight people do not want gay people to get married because it lessens the sanctity of marriage, then shouldn't it be illegal to get a divorce? If there is anything that lessens the sanctity of marriage, it would be divorce.

Hi, LGBT peoples! I have found the one for me, the one that is going to make me happy for the rest of my life. My question to you fine people is: what are the little things, the snippets of advice that you can give, that keep a relationship healthy and exciting? Anything would be wonderful - I have never wanted something to work more in my life. Thanks for your life advice!

I've been in therapy on this issue and have come to the sad conclusion that I would rather be alone and miserable than act out on my attractions, because the guilt and shame I would feel would be too immense and unbearable.

Also, I think I would rather die a virgin than risk going to hell for giving in to my attractions and being with another man sexually.

I mean no offense in asking this; I am just seeking guidance from anyone who can offer it. Thanks!

Before I am criticized for posting this question I would like to start of by saying that each of us no matter how small - have a tendency to be disturbed when seeing certain interracial couples. I know that most of us do not want to think that way and most of us normally would not comment on it but I wanted to post this question to those who would like to come out of the closet to make a statement. It is not in anyway racist but I'm looking for an honest and respectable answer. Again, I know that we try to stay away from these thoughts but sometimes its in our nature. So again, let's just be honest.

As for me I am mostly disturbed by a person of one race, any race, that exclusively chooses not to date within their race. I have always been proud of who i am (I'm latino) and can't understand why someone would make that type of decision - obviously lets just say if they haven't had any know traumatic experiences within their race. Again, I try not to think that way, but I can't help it

I notice he always smiles when talking to me. He doesn't cross his arms around me like he does when he's around other people.

I playfully touch him every now and again, and he doesn't seem to be annoyed by it.

I'm hoping that he's gay. What else can I do to know for sure?

I recall when I was younger & men started wearing earrings whether you wore an earring in one ear or both was constituted as a 'gay' signal or not. I've just returned from Europe & was told while in the UK that is still the case, but I hadn't noticed or been aware of such in the US, so I'm curious what the current "rules" or "signals" are if any?

2007-11-11 06:08:50 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous

why?
he hasn't done anything wrong. So, ok he's gay. People need to start getting over it. They think he is great until they find out his sexuality. So what he likes guys it doesn't mean he likes every guy he sees. We were out earlier today and he got beaten up by these guys. Everybody was just standing around laughing and i was the only person who got them off him. I earned a bloody lip for it but i don't care because i wasn't about to see him being beaten up purely for the reason he is gay.
I love gay people, men and women. They are genuinely nice people and I don't understand the prejudice they face. It's really upsetting me now.
Why are people so narrow minded and horrible?
