I was in one of these London fringe theatres once seeing some new work that must have been so rivetting I've long forgotten it

Anyway, the play's theme was obvious before going to see it and had a certain amount of gay content, including in one scene guys kissing!! Shock !!! Behind me these stupid old fools were tutting there heads off and making comments under their breath. Nearly turned round and screamed at them "Shut up!!! It's the 1990's!!"

 

[chouji]

nope

 

[jw4833]

Not at all..I just don't broadcast it like its the daily bulletin in the local newspaper...

 

[umpalumpa]

Nah I love being gay and like to show it in public with my bf. But I'm not that type who's acting like Jeffree Star. In case you don't know him just google the name.

I actually am bi, or maybe I just am really horny. But everyone I meet knows within the first 10 mins that I like men also. Don't see anything to be ashamed of, love is love regardless of who it is with.

 

[Cute Prince101]

Nope not never I love being gay. I am proud about myself " because that's who i am"

 

[Fiddy]

*shrug* It makes about as much sense to be ashamed of being gay or bi as it would be to be ashamed of being straight. Perhaps that makes me a hypocrite, since I've only told one of my parents. There's a thought: does it count as being ashamed if you don't tell someone you're related to about because you know their reaction will be... unpleasant, shall we say, but for your own part, you're quite comfortable with doing as you wish, tutting strangers or no?

I don't like being gay - ie my life would be a 1000 times easier if I were heterosexual...but I'm not, so I'm stuck with it. However, I am not, nor have I ever been, ashamed of it.

Jeez....one thread asking if any of us wants to be 'normal'.....i.e. marrying and having kids and another asking if any of us is ashamed of being gay. How fucking sad is all this?

Remind me, are we in 2010 or 1810?

Some of us will never be happy regardless of whether we suck cock or raise babies. Some of us just seem to enjoy swimming in a sea of self-pity. That makes us just as flawed as everyone else. Maybe there's a forum out there with straight people wishing they were gay because they think their lives 'would be so much better'.

Who knows? More to the point, who fucking cares?

I could no more turn straight than acquire magic powers so why would I even want to bother with the impossible?

I deal with the cards I have. I'm gay and count myself very lucky to live in a part of the world where I don't face the real danger of being killed just because of my sexuality.

Some of us don't know how truly lucky we are. That isn't meant to be flippant but I find it really sad that we are still bogged down by so much utter crap, far too much of which borders dangerously on self-hate. It belongs to the past. Let's leave it there.

But what do I know? I'm just a cock sucking homo! Though one who wouldn't want it any other way :thumbs up:

 

[popoxDDD]

a little i guess. that's why i'm only halfway out of the closet lol

 

[fanno1uk]

i think everyone new before i did ,but after i came out my brother in law thought his ass wasn't safe with me around i had to break it to him gently that our love wasn't to be ahhh

 

[set123]

Not in the slightest.

 

[ritsuka]

I'm absolutely not ashamed to be gay. I like my sexuality, and don't want a typical 'easy' straight life. Most people realize pretty quickly that I'm gay--due to their own assumptions, so I don't try to hide it either, in public or private.

Well when witnessing today's efforts of gay movement fighting for marriage and for a right to raise kids and all sorts of other stuff which has nothing to do with a fight for human rights anymore but rather with a subconscious lack of self esteem of gay people who want to look like str8 in all aspects - then yes I am ashamed to be gay.

Thinking of what it means to be gay for my identity - then I'm of course not ashamed to be gay at all.

 

[smallsleepyrascalcat]

A straight friend of mine once told me that in our days, being gay would be cool, so why should I be ashamed of being cool?

But the fight was for equality, equality in basic rights, equality in work, equality in the eyes of the law, and now leading to equality in marriage. There is nothing wrong in being considered "normal", that's what the whole thing was about, it certainly wasn't about remaining different or special, just exactly equal with everyone else.
That's what all minorities of every description ever want.

It's like a soldier after the war is won still wanting to fight. Not that I mean anyone can be complacent about anything, but gay rights in the West , and improving slowly in other places, are beyond probably what was ever dreamed in those first marches.

Equality, I believe, was always the goal, not seperation! It's certainly not a lack of self esteem. Surely the opportunity of being able to live a life like the rest of the main population without any stigma is what everybody wants

 

[ritsuka]

For many people, the gay movement has also been about social acceptance for alternative lifestyles--i.e. for trans people and radical queers who can't pass as straight and need something more than just legal equality in things like marriage, adoption, employment. Legal equality or the supposed oppurtunity to live like everybody else is not what everyone in the broad glbt movement wants or needs. Unfortunately there is a prejudice among some people that everybody needs to conform and that those who don't fit into gender stereotypes or can't pass as straight should be kicked out or brushed aside.

Xman is right...

Well everybody is - according to his worldview, his logic, his way of thinking, his experiences, environment he's coming from, the whole context. I don't believe we discuss to come to some final judgment about who is right or wrong. Maybe we discuss to find some common grounds, but mainly we discuss to share our different opinions - and if possible - to think about them.
