I LIKE GUYS BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE GAY. HOW DO I STOP BEG GAY?

I was kidnapped and forced to have homosexual terurse. I would not nsir myself beg a homosexual due to the fact that I am only largely attracted to women.

Straight men who have engaged suatnal homosexualy (such as prison or the ary), what's your story? Can HOCD make you actually believe you are gay? One thg that sr me bee seems different than what I read about HOCD is that people talk about beg aaid they uld be gay or uld turn gay, but n HOCD make you thk youre ACTUALLY gay?

Bee I often feel that I actually am gay. And I hate the ia of beg gay and have never done anythg gay wh anyone and, like I said, n relate to a lot of other symptoms of HOCD. But I'm sred that sce I thk I actually thk I'm gay, I maybe I really am.

AM I GAY?

[rant] I don’t want to be gay. I hate myself for beg gay I’m not a very homophobic area but my fay would be disappoted. I've always thought was wrong but I am gay i knew I always felt that way but I'm homophobic on the outsi and try to reprs beg gay through .

So my cursy got the bt of me and I started lookg up gay porn. So I'm totally a closet bi/gay.

TL;DR - I thought I was straight, got cur, started chattg wh a guy 3 hours away, met up, did everythg together, talked everyday sce we met, velopg feelgs for each other, need to take slow, not sure how but termed to figure out, never been happier, both closet bi/gay. I myself am part of the lgbtq+ muny, I'm a transgenr woman and am gay.
