WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

Beards are so sexually charged and erotilly ialized among today’s scffier populatns of gay men that one might fet the fact that beards are still, technilly, fetish objects. Coprophilia is sexual stimulatn om fec, and while the general populatn’s rponse to is bound to be pretty strong, this fetish is more mon than you might spect, particularly among gay pig players, fistg enthiasts, and kky leather men.

In other words, 5-10% of people experience same-sex sexual attractn or behavr; of urse, this don't speak to what mak people gay. No one knows for certa why any dividual is gay, but the current thought is that beg gay is not a choice.

Morn science is workg to show that geics is one of the of beg gay, although some science nflicts this area.

While psychologil factors may crease the likelihood that someone is gay, no sgle factor is known to e homosexualy.

It very much appears that same-sex sexual attractn is not a choice but actg on is; so if you fe gay as the mere prence of same-sex attractn, then om everythg we unrstand, beg gay is not a choice.

If, on the other hand, you nsir someone to be gay only if they act on their same-sex attractn then beg gay n be nsired a choice pendg on an dividual's behavr.

Intertgly enough, both movi were spired by real cultural ephemera: an anti-gay propaganda film, as well as Tom Hanks’ awkward Osr speech for Philalphia (1993).

The faiar nature of the plots and characters eased dienc to seeg gay men as experiencg the same relatable foibl as everyone else. This is what ma 2022 such a banner year; Bros and Fire Island are not jt fun rom-s, but also make gay men a normal part of the genr whout beg seen as niche.
