same stupid question, different person......
How does it feel to be straight? Does that seem like a sensible question to you?
The only thing different about being gay is we go home to our partners who are the same sex. We connect with people of the same sex more comfortably than of the opposite sex..
Why is it unusual? You never heard of gay before before today? Your question is insulting.

just as the experience of each heterosexual is different, i'm sure the experience of each queer person, bisexual, trans, lesbian, gay, etc etc feels different.
As a queer person, i feel, human.
I do feel oppressed, but i have also become very aware of the priviledge i have in other areas that aren't related to being queer. I do feel intense social pressure though to conform. When i was younger, my self esteem was heavily impacted by other people who felt justified in tryiing to police my identity, including my sexual orientation as well as my (non)gender identity.
For more accounts of what it feels like to be queer, i suggest following the links listed below. Recently, there has been a very important post by one of Gender Schmender's members regarding the experience of being queer. it is in the thread: "oh dear god, this could get so f***ed up" It was a very moving account of their current experience.

Gay people feel just like straight people -- that means the whole spectrum of feelings.

sorry, im not gay but i just have to answer this. the only appropriate answer to this question is to quit being so narrow minded. gay people are people, they are not aliens. im sure when they have a headache, their head hurts and when its cold outside, they put on a jacket. why is everyone so caught up in whats going on in someone else's bed. people should keep their heads into whats going on in their own bed.

As I grew up it was absolutely awful. I was hated at home, beat up at school, and ignored by my church. It wasn't until I came to terms with it that it became normal for me.
It feels normal. It feels exactly the way love and life feels to you. Like one of your other answerer's said, you have to have tougher skin in dealing with people around you. That'd be the only difference in "feeling".

It feels normal to me....how can you describe any feeling...you can't. You either experience it or you don't. Without the experience, you have no frame of reference. Sort of like asking, what does an orgasm feel like...you cannot do it with any success if the person you are talking to has not experienced it.

it feels the same as anybody else, the only difference is who we're attracted to. the only "unusual" thing is putting up with lots of stupid questions!

Being gay/lesbian means having to have a thicker skin, that's all.

Feels like sunshine and rainbows, honey. We're not weird, we aren't any different than straights, except we have spectacular taste in partners, if you ask me.

How is it to be "not gay"? No - it is not unusual to be gay. Is it unusual to be straight?
