THE FACT NO ONE LIK TO ADM: MANY GAY MEN ULD JT HAVE EASILY BEEN STRAIGHT
"My random roommate durg sophomore year happened to be gay. ' His buddi got all homophobic on him, so he asked, 'You guys have never msed around wh another guy?
I'm gay, but I hooked up wh a handful of men and women my 30s. In the end, they're still straight, and I'm still gay and happily married to my hband of 12 years. The guys are different om men who intify as bisexual, gay, mostly gay, and mostly straight.
Of urse, some intify as straight but are realy closeted bisexuals or gays by sexual orientatn—perhaps likely to e out at a later age (if ever).
SOME GAYS CAN GO STRAIGHT, STUDY SAYS
For example, when a “closeted” gay or bisexual man has sex wh another man, he views that sex as reflectg his secret gay/bisexual inty. How do the men view homosexualy and LGBTQ2+ rights?
A mory of the men I terviewed were homophobic and held prejudice agast LGBTQ2+ people and this prejudice mak the thought of an LGBTQ2+ inty unappealg to them. • I don’t have any reason to spect that he is gay or even bi. • Could a straight guy get dnk enough to fool around wh another guy jt bee “felt good”, or is more likely that he has some gay/bi/cur feelgs that perhaps he’s been reprsg?
Even acuntg for the fact that he might remember some of what happened, don't mean he's bisexual, secretly gay, or that you're his magil "exceptn." He was dnk out of his md. First, he has to e out to you as eher gay or bisexual.
CAN SCTN MAKE STRAIGHT MEN GAY?
I don't know many gay men (myself clud) who hasn't veloped a csh or had feelgs for a straight guy - cludg straight iends. They are not terted a romantic relatnship wh you; if they were they'd e out as bisexual or gay. I've seen other gay guys that fell for a straight guy (typilly a iend) and wanted to lu themselv to believg that a relatnship was possible.
