‘HETERO’: EVERYONE IS GAY AND NO ONE DI

Even today’s relatively forward-thkg society, wh all of the rmatnal and tnal advantag provid by the Inter and related digal technologi, many people have a limed unrstandg of what means to be homosexual, bisexual, and genr dysphoric.

From personal experience, I n tell you that when I found out at 14 years old that beg gay was an actual thg, I experienced credible relief. To be a homosexual man or woman means havg a personally signifint and meangful romantic and/or sexual attractn primarily to adults of the same sex. (To be an openly gay man or woman impli a personal social tegratn wh one’s homosexualy, cludg beg “out” by fully acceptg one’s homosexualy and sharg about wh iends, fay, and others.
