Looks like all those ex-gay therapists may have been on to somethg after all, bee here's five proof that someone n renounce their * i ain't gay anymore *
Bulli teased me for beg gay when I was younger, but when a six-year-old boy lls another six-year-old boy gay, he means “weird” or “gross, ” not “has sex wh men. Kids are not gay or straight, they’re jt kids. I wasn’t gay or straight.
Why, then, do adults who knew me as a child sist that I was gay all along? I felt prsured to pick a label and stick wh , and for a long time “gay” worked bee I didn’t thk about much.
I LIKE GUYS BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE GAY. HOW DO I STOP BEG GAY?
The man who almost broke the Inter for screamg, "I'm not gay no more" has a new moneymaker ... a mil versn of his anti-penile mantra that he's hawkg on iTun. * i ain't gay anymore *
But the last year or two, I’ve started to rethk my relatnship to the label “gay.
I hooked up wh trans and nonbary people and stopped scribg myself as gay, preferrg to e the more clive tchall “queer. Often when I tell some people that I’m distancg myself om gay, they immediately suggt I intify as bisexual, or pansexual. I need somethg that means “mostly gay but not fully mted and open to other possibili, ” but, alas, such a niche label has yet to be imaged.
