Are you qutng your sexualy? Fd out if you’re gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual. Learn what the terms mean and if they apply to you. * ok im gay *
Gay - While this adjective has historilly scribed men who are attracted to other men, the term now is ed to refer to anyone who experienc romantic, emotnal, or physil attractn to people of the same genr.

WHY GAY IS NOT OK
After beg acquired earlier this month via tra, the Oklahoma Cy Thunr has waived Rudy Gay. * ok im gay *
While I wasn't ready for my Q&A ssn wh the high schoolers, I vowed that I'd learn to prent a biblil view of homosexualy to nonbelievers. Argument #1: "One of every 10 people is gay.
They vised a seven-pot sle that placed exclive heterosexualy and exclive homosexualy at oppose pol, wh bisexualy at the midpot. Usg this sle, the rearchers averaged figur supportg their claims that 10 percent of mal between the ag of 16 and 55 were more or ls exclively homosexual for at least three years.

On March 31, 1993, The Wall Street Journal ran an article tled "Homosexuals and the 10-Percent Fallacy. Gordon Muir reported that he had found "substantial evince ditg that ls than 5 percent of men and women have had any homosexual ntact their lifetime, and no more than 3 percent of men and nsirably fewer women claim to be bisexual or exclively homosexual. Dpe the fdgs, some groups ntue to e the 10 percent figure to make homosexualy sound more wispread.
Argument #2: "People are born gay.
The latt rearch on this area, published this April Science, uld not reproduce the fdgs of a prev study which had tied homosexual behavr to certa geic patterns. Each of most choose his battl wisely--and I would not die on the sword of a nongeic lk to homosexualy. Even if rearchers were to suggt a heredary tie wh homosexualy, as they have wh alholism, the right tack wh this argument is not to ntend that 's false, but that promot life-threateng behavr.
HOW TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE GAY

Likewise, a recent Cens Bure abstract noted that AIDS aths for gay men the Uned Stat totaled more than 28, 300 1995. " While AIDS is no longer nsired jt a gay disease, s universaly often overshadows the fact that, acrdg to the Centers for Disease Control, "homosexuals ntue to make up the majory of s.
" Consequently, the 1993 fdgs of three rearchers wh the Eastern Psychologil Associatn, quoted by Jefey Satover "Homosexualy and the Polics of Tth" (Baker), should e as no surprise. Satover wr that "they found that the gay male lifpan, even apart om AIDS and wh a long-term partner, is signifintly shorter than that of married men general by more than three s. Though rearchers have yet to prove or disprove a geic lk for homosexualy, they have proven one unniable fact: Homosexualy n be adly.

Argument #3: "Love legimiz homosexualy. " That's why so many people e this logic to support the homosexual viewpot. Unfortunately, many homosexual relatnships do not monstrate one of the key ditors of love: monogamy.
Mattison found that even homosexual men "permanent" relatnships tend to stray more often than heterosexual men: "Y, that wayward impulse is as evable man-to-man affairs as man-to-woman, only, for gays, starts chg faster.
In "Straight Answers About Homosexualy for Straight Rears" (Prentice-Hall), David Loovis adms that fily is a problem for male and female homosexuals. This lack of monogamy dit that the "lovg relatnships" scribed by apologists for homosexualy look more like fictn than fact.
