By good conversation, I mean: where are they politically, religiously, spiritually, emotionally? What are their goals and ambitions? Where are they on the marriage issue, equal rights, adoption? Are they involved in charity work? What sort of job do they have? How do they get along with their family? Where are they from originally? What was it like going to school for them? What sort of educationm do they have? Listen and observe, you might be shocked to discover they're just like you. (Well almost.)

Wow! To the person who gets all their info re: gay people from movies and tv...very scarey. To the folks quoting scripture... open up a little, let some knowledge in. Am I tapped? Not quite sure of the meaning here, but I am openly and comfortably gay living in Canada. I've tried different methods of coming out to people I meet. Sometimes, I would just tell them right up front; other times I would let them get to know me for a couple of months before I confided in them. The end results varied usually more posistive than negative. The odd time when I was dealing with someone similar to mr. "gets all his insights from tv and movies" those are ones I would get to know for a couple of months first before confiding and they usually ended up being my biggest supporters. Strange how people adapt to new things. I'm thinking of incorporating some of these responses into my internet radio show on radiogay.ca. Your thoughts?

I see them on TV all of the time. I am not a bigot but these people are UN-natural and get my stomach a churning. Most likely not to have a two hour conversation with them. If you must, Watch Ellen for a couple of days and you will have solved the "wanting to conversate with a intellectual gay person for a couple of days."

All openly gay and even non open but possible gay people are just like everyone else and are not usually go to try and turn anyones sexual preference around. There are so many homophobic people out there, they think it's a damn contagious illness. I have had many friends and we talked just like anyone else about love and life. Most friends of the same sex that were openly gay NEVER tried to ask me out because I was openly heterosexual. Whats the difference

Every family has at least one gay relative whether its that great aunt that never married or an uncle that never has a girlfriend They are all human with the same hopes and fears as everone else. Homosexuality is a gene thing it is only one more or less cromazone there are gay animals born that way it is no sin against any god to be gay cuase god made them.

One of the best friends I have ever had was gay (he died of AIDS 5 years ago). I am a devout Catholic, and he was one of the best, kindest, most giving people I have ever known. The world lost something beautiful the day he died. On the other hand, I have also met several openly gay people who were so angry over their own issues that they were beyond approachable - which is nothing like me. Who you sleep with makes up no more of your character than whom I may choose to sleep with.

Yes and No!!!
I mean, I have had some friends who are gay.
Did they open up all there emotions to me? To be honest? No but that is not much different than any of my straight male friends.
My female friends have opened to me emotionally but only if they knew me very well.
Guys seem more open but are less likely to want to talk to another guy about this kind of stuff.
Did I think my gay friends were really unusual? Well, it depends what you mean. I mean they are gay. They have access to women I don't get. I mean, one friend would brag about it to his straight friends, many women took their clothes off in front of him cause well, he one of them. Was he making it up to impress me? No idea. But some women are certainly more comfortable with gay men cause well ...

Are you tapped, the only difference between a gay and a straight is that they like to have a relationship the same sex. The answers to the rest of your questions is that they are exactly like the rest of us

Many have not had a conversation of the about sort with anyone....a disabled person, person of another race, person of a different class, person of another religion. I encourage conversation with everyone that is different from yourself. Also, with people that are similar, one may not find that they have much in common with the person that they thought was most like them.

Your question made me smile! I have lots and lots of gay and lesbian friends...and oh yes, they ARE just like us because they ARE US! But gay. I asked one of my close gay male friends why he liked men, and he asked me, well what do YOU like about men...so I listed off all the things I like about men, and he replied, "Me too!" Being gay is just (in a way) like saying, "My favorite color is red." It's just a preference, that's all. I like to think that it's not my job to judge them, (judge not lest you be judged) God will do the judging of all of us in the end. I accept them, their friendship, and all that goes with them. And I'm for equality for gays in marriage. The constitution never said only marriage for opposite couples...they are American citizens, and have the right to marry if it pleases them to do so.

Some of us will NOT be shocked to discover that. We've known it naturally most of our lives. It doesn't take a conversation, it just takes the general intelligence that god gave grapes.
