GAY, BISEXUAL MEN UTAH N GIVE BLOOD UNR PANY’S LOOSENED RTRICTNS

If you uld choose your sexualy, would you choose to be gay, bi, or straight? Personally, given how much tolerance, hatred, and bigotry is aimed at gays today, I nnot see any man choosg a liftyle that would set him up for s of heartache, heartbreak, discrimatn, and beg asslted.

I'm a 66-year old totally celibate gay male, who, if he had the chance to change his sexualy, would choose asexual, whout hatn. They take no acunt of there beg no nnectn between gay/bi/straight, and who we may play wh.

AM I GAY?

But people aren't that way so turn you have tolerance, hatred, and bigotry which is aimed at not only gays, but at anyone who isn't like them. IMHO, I tly believe that far too many imprsnable young people have been, que ankly, "brawashed" by straight society, and most pecially if the young person (who might be gay or bi, at least their fantasi) om a relig upbrgg, where homosexualy is nmned to hellfire for eterny. Ever wonr why do so many young gay people choose to "live a lie" for their entire liv, simply to nform to the standards, beliefs, and morals of heterosexual society?

ARE YOU GAY, BI, OR STRAIGHT?

Look at how many gay men NYC have been dgged, robbed, and asslted, over the past several years (sadly, there have been some fatali).

For the last ten years or so though I've been gay, not sure exactly when happened but I realised I only wanted sex wh men. To be hont was que liberatg and excg knowg that I was a homosexual.

If I uld change anythg I wish I had been gay all along, jt seems more natural to me, maybe if my first ser relatnship had been wh a man that would have been the se.

So given the choice, spe everythg I would pick gay whout hatn. You mentned you spent time wh a girl(s) and then you were Bi and now you nsir yourself gay.

I wonr if there should be sle (hereafter referred to as a 'thg') like a r temperature guage, stead of such terms as straight bi or gay. Don't get me wrong, when I had relatnships wh women they were genue, not jt somethg to hi my homosexualy and I enjoyed the physil aspect of them, jt nowhere near as much as I now do wh men. And y, I know there are a lot of people out there who would react badly to someone llg gay sex natural, but feels like that to me.

I have had a uple of boyiends the last few years, but most of my gay relatnships have jt been about the sex.

2 | Predomantly heterosexual, but more than cintally homosexual. 4 | Predomantly homosexual, but more than cintally heterosexual. I've taken a few and they put me at level 1, cintally homosexual, even though I have never has same sex relatns.

Oh, notice the words gay, bi, or straight are not ed the sle.

I have always believed that parents are the greatt teachers of all; but how n a young adult (bi/gay) learn om parents who are bigoted themselv? As we all are so very pafully aware of relig fanatics (pecially those the Bible Belt) who are more discipl of Satan than "holy men" (Fred Phelps' extremely vic homophobic church wasted no time recg young children to take part his "Hatred Csa"; Jerry Falwell was also another relig "honcho" who, ed, had no love for the gay muny). I've heard that Frankl Graham is even more anti-gay than his late father, Billy Graham.
