For an LGBT person, unhapps about their inty ually om discrimatn or ternalized shame bee they've learned to see beg gay as ferr to beg straight Wh time and ( some s) unselg, many gay people live happy and fulfillg liv datg people who are their same genr.

3) Do you worry that you are NOT attracted to members of the oppose sex (if you're straight) and that 'that might mean' that you are gay? For example: A straight man thkg "If my legs are crossed, do my guy iends thk I’m gay?

Searchg unr OCD and gay, I disvered the old BraPhysics discsn board and cid to post. Only ten mut after I had started readg the most recent posts, however, I realized that somethg was wrong: The folks wh gay fears were clearly not gay. It took another five mut for me to figure out what HOCD was and why so many people had gay obssns.
I would later learn that tly gay people may also get HOCD, but that they falsely fear that they are heterosexual. HOCD is an illns, and who but a gay HOCD sufferer would fear beg straight, the thg society priz?

If I thought for a mute that even one of the straight HOCD sufferers on the board was gay, I would do the same for him or her. As of this wrg I have been bombard by threads, private msag, e-mail, and stant msag by straight folks terrified that they are gay (and a very small number of gay and bisexual folks terrified that they, too, are not their real sexual orientatn). Neverthels, is sufficiently wispread to warrant more specialists the field, more media exposure, and more unrstandg among therapists relativ, iends, and, pecially, gay people who give the wrong advice.
AM I GAY OR IS MY OCD?
HOCD works the same way: Heterosexual sufferers feel that the gay thoughts are real even though, their hearts, they know that they are straight. Before such treatment, HOCD (homosexualy anxiety ed by OCD) is all terror and rant. STRAIGHT MALE HOCD SUFFERER: I know that I am gay, but I have only ever gotten hard wh girls.
I'M GAY AND YOU'RE NOT: UNRSTANDG HOMOSEXUALY FEARS
GAY MALE IN THE CLOSET WITH NO HOCD: I know that I am gay, and I have only ever gotten hard wh guys.
