"I am here today bee I am gay, " she said, promptg a standg ovatn. In orr to have doubts about one’s sexual inty, a sufferer need not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual experience at all. If the sufferer is heterosexual, then the thought may be that they are homosexual.

ELLEN PAGE: ‘I’M HERE TODAY BEE I AM GAY’

If on the other hand they happen to be homosexual they may obss about the possibily that they might really be straight. ” Some people’s doubts are further plited by havg such experienc as hearg other people talkg or lookg their directn and thkg that the people mt be analyzg their behavr or appearance and talkg about them – discsg how they mt be gay (or straight).

For those wh thoughts of beg homosexual, part of the distrs mt surely be social orig. Let’s face , gay people have always been an opprsed mory wh our culture, and to sudnly thk of beg this posn, and to be stigmatized this way, n be ighteng.

ELLEN PAGE ON COMG OUT: 'I FELT AWKWARD AROUND GAY PEOPLE'

Do you thk I uld be gay (or straight)? How n I tell if I’m really gay (or straight)?

Can you sudnly turn to a homosexual (or heterosexual) even if you have never felt or acted that that way?

Do I look (or act) gay (or straight) to you? If I get sexual sensatns when viewg sexual material of an oppose orientatn do mean I am gay (or straight)? A typil example would be a heterosexual man who experienc an erectn while lookg at gay eroti.
