I am a 42 year old male (straight) I feel that you are what you are by genetics as much as by choice. I have a 16 year old son that has a gay music teacher, I caught my son and the teacher going out to the movies together this summer. I asked my son what he was doing going to the movies with a teacher? He said that he was just hanging out with him,,,, hmmm just hanging out I said. I then went on a very long lecture about "hanging out with a gay teacher" I told him that maybe to him they were hanging out,, but to the teacher they might have been on a date. he didn't think the teacher was gay,( I think he is starting to realize he is now) I told him that I would rather the teacher be gay and attracted to him, than be a pedophile looking for a easy target. I even asked my son if he was gay,, I said if he was gay I might not have that big of an issue with an older guy teaching him the ropes,,, So long story short, my son hangs out with his gay music teacher a lot, my son comes home talking about how he needs to keep his grades up so he can get a music scholarship, he talks about being an example to the other students(he is a drum major in the band) I credit all this to my sons Gay Teacher who is doing a great job of mentoring him,,, I tell my kids to treat gay people just as you would anyone else.
Hope this helped,,,
PS. Sorry,, this sounds more like a blog than an answer

As a male who "came out" relatively late in life I can honestly say that people have generally reacted in a positive way. However I have concluded that people really are not that interested in others than you would think and I don't mean that they don't care. Today people are too wrapped up in themselves with their own worries and cares to be bothered about whether one of their friends or colleagues are gay straight or whatever. I was slightly surprised but more generally encouraged to discover that the younger generation of straight males in the work environment have no qualms or worries at all about working with a gay colleague.

I dont care who is gay or who is straight.
The one thing i dont like, and to be honest it doesnt happen that much any more, is when you get a Gay march, it is so in your face (The march and what the people say!).
I couldnt care less, go and get on with your life, you obviously arent happy with it if you are out marching and complaining, go home and be gay with someone else, walk together, do things together, the same way as every other couple does whether straight or gay.
I dont mind being around Gay people, so long as it isnt the main topic they talk about, cos that will make me start talking about how good being straight is. Ah, but you cannot say that, can you, human rights!!!!!!!!!

In my experience the vast majority of young women in the UK are fine about it and the more educated young men are cool with it. Of course, the uneducated ones are a bit less open-minded. You'll only make friends with the nice ones anyway and it doesn't matter about the bigots (but always fight them, always contradict everything they say and never give in to their hatred). I recently went on a college trip to Barcelona, which was my first experience of being out to more than just my best friend. Nobody in my group of about eight friends even though it was an issue. *Smiles*

We're all different in many ways. Why should being homosexual make you any more strange than someone who likes cycling a hundred miles, trainspotting, doing drugs, breed dogs?
You don't need people's consent to live in this society. You're a guy first and foremost. Have confidence and people will love you. Just don't hit on a straight guy, I've known that go pear shaped.

I think that gays are people like the rest of us. They may have different sex habits, but that's the only difference. I also think its none of my business what consenting adults do with their bodies. And I think that the churches need to stay the heck out of people's sex lives. I lived in the SF bay area and had many gay friends; also have gay relatives who I love. No big deal. Take care of yourself, be safe, and good luck. And If you get any negative feedback on Yahoo, please ignore it. More people support you than you know, and we are to be found in all ages the world over.

I haven't met many openly gay men, but the ones i have known about I liked them as people. Their sexuality wasn't an issue for me, but then they were not a threat to me and i knew there was no point in trying my luck with them. I don't like to see gay men kissing or doing anything sexual, it just makes me feel strange. But I don't feel the same way about seeing gay women together.

I have nothing against gays - if that's how you are, so be it. Being a girl I find gay blokes are a great laugh and have absolutely no problem with them (have worked with several over the years). Just carry on normally and don't make a big issue about it.

Being gay myself I've only once been a bit miffed with one of my straight mates when he saw me and crossed the road (this is after someone told everyone about me) so I thought sod em, they are not worth it.
I remember back to before I was coming out and I was scared of other gays guys and the first time I went to a gay bar I was expecting something out of Police Academy. How wrong I was.

I'm gay as well and I think we are FABULOUS! I wouldn't change being gay for anything. See some straight people have a big problem with it so they think we have a problem...when we really don't! You will see as you get older that being gay opens up a whole new world of experiences...enjoy life and be proud of who you are!
