I feel more than okay, i am perfectly happy being who I am.
Let the world explain why they have a problem with that. Don't ask me to explain why I am happy loving who I choose to love. Tell me why the world has a problem with it. Tell me why its any of their business.

Maybe, some day. But it's tough being different. Most people spend a lot of time trying to conform to the norm, trying to be like everyone else so as not to stand out as less somehow. Anyone who's perceived as less than normal is targeted by the main group. It's getting better, but especially for gay men it is a rough life. Living in gay communities gives them some semblance of a normal life. But they know they're in danger in society at large. I wonder if it is just the "sex" part - I mean, if there were no sex, would it be okay if men loved men and women loved women?

Yeah, because gay people have 2 choices...
1. Deny it and try to live like you're straight, and in your heart know that you are attracted to people that are the same sex. By living a lie, many times these straight people end up fooling around behind their partners back. They feel guilty for being gay and even more guilty for acting upon it... or
2. Accept it and live your life as you are without having to hide anything. By living life acknowledging true sexual attraction, there is no feeling of guilt and a feeling of self acceptance.

Yes, I'm ok with who I am. I'm happy being able to be myself, to live an honest life, to be at peace with my "God" and my family. I have no regrets, not hessitations, no reservations.
Yes, it took me a while to get there, but that's because of social stereotypes and stigmas about gays and lesbians...most of which are completely untrue.
It's really sad what others have done to gays and lesbians throughout history.
The more you learn about "our" history as a people, as a community, the more you'll feel better about who you are as a gay man or lesbian.

I think homosexuals as individuals can feel like its okay to be gay if they do not choose to judge themselves by societies standards if they do judge themselves by society standards then they are going to continue to feel bad about themselves but most of the homosexuals that judge themselves by what other people say they are usually in the closet

I love being a lesbian. I wouldn't chose to be a heterosexual if the choice were given. I have wonderful, supportive friends who have stuck by me through thick and thin and, because lesbians like to process, I am much healthier emotionally than anyone else in my family. When I was younger being a lesbian had a lot to do with sex - now it's about who I like to hang out with and I like to hang out with women. I do wish I could get on my girlfriend's insurance, however.

Most gay men and lesbians are just fine with being who they are. Of course, some are not. Depression exists in both the gay and straight world. I am very happy being who I am.

Chris, dangle in there guy! Having thoughts of allure, even sexual thoughts, is surely popular for a 15 year previous guy or woman -- male or woman. And, you like who you like. i'm promptly and that i knew i became promptly via the time i became 10 or 11 years previous. i can not stand it whilst human beings doubt and question a teenager's thoughts purely because of the fact they're youthful. My brother is gay and knew he became from with reference to the age of 10 besides (like I knew i became promptly).

LOL! i'm in basic terms some year older than my husband. completely no longer a huge deal. We infrequently ever think of roughly it different than whilst one human beings has a birthday... many times me, because of the fact my husband teases me (yet thoroughly in exciting) approximately being his "previous woman". Haha As you become previous, you will start to word that issues like age be counted much less and much less. attempt to no longer permit it hassle you, even now, and if it rather is different those that are stricken... nicely, they're purely knotted up. What do they recognize, good? shop putting out inclusive of your chum and if it is going someplace, then it is going someplace -- and that's great! If it would not... nicely, which will harm for a jointly as (i recognize, i've got been there, too) after which you will meet human beings and additionally you will locate the only (regardless of if it rather is this guy or yet another guy). you're completely popular... you're desirable purely as you're, ok? do no longer permit anyone permit you recognize in a diverse way. :-) Take care!

It can be quite difficult sometimes b/c society can be hard on gay people. Thing is, if you don't accept yourself for who you are then you can't ask other people to do so. It's a vicious circle.

Can't speak for gays, but I got no problems with being bi, as a French philosopher once said, "I did not choose to be who, and what, I am, but since it's me, I will neither deny or apologize for it."
