17 SIGNS YOU'RE ACTUALLY GAY (AND JT DON'T KNOW IT)
I read a blog a uple years ago that has disappeared off the ter; was lled "You're Not Gay." The male wrer explaed that he ed to live a gay liftyle believg that he was gay bee of other people's opns. Somehow even though he didn't want to be gay other people thought he… * you re not this gay *
Sce genr inty and sexual orientatn are separate, transgenr people n intify as straight, gay, lbian, bisexual, etc. It’s the twenty first century and if someone’s gog to be a judgmental ltle hoe, then they don’t serve to be your v gay life. So if you n relate to the signs then you’re actually gay (you jt don’t know yet).
YOU’RE NOT GAY: HOMOSEXUALY ANXIETY OCD

AM I GAY OR NOT QUIZ?
Do we need laws forbiddg the "gay" sult? * you re not this gay *
My name is Mark, and I am a gay male wh obssive-pulsive disorr (OCD). I am wrg for the benef of heterosexual folks who hope to e this article to unrstand their fears about beg gay (also known as gay OCD or HOCD).
YOU’RE NOT GAY
Searchg unr OCD and gay, I disvered the old BraPhysics discsn board and cid to post.
CAN SOMEONE BE HOMOSEXUAL AND NOT GAY?
Only ten mut after I had started readg the most recent posts, however, I realized that somethg was wrong: The folks wh gay fears were clearly not gay.
It took another five mut for me to figure out what HOCD was and why so many people had gay obssns.
HOW TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE GAY
I would later learn that tly gay people may also get HOCD, but that they falsely fear that they are heterosexual. HOCD is an illns, and who but a gay HOCD sufferer would fear beg straight, the thg society priz?
Jt as HOCD obssg over beg straight = gay realy, HOCD obssg over beg gay = straight realy.
In that time, I have helped other tly gay people e out of the closet.
I LIKE GUYS BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE GAY. HOW DO I STOP BEG GAY?
If I thought for a mute that even one of the straight HOCD sufferers on the board was gay, I would do the same for him or her. As of this wrg I have been bombard by threads, private msag, e-mail, and stant msag by straight folks terrified that they are gay (and a very small number of gay and bisexual folks terrified that they, too, are not their real sexual orientatn). Neverthels, is sufficiently wispread to warrant more specialists the field, more media exposure, and more unrstandg among therapists relativ, iends, and, pecially, gay people who give the wrong advice.
AM I GAY? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY?
HOCD works the same way: Heterosexual sufferers feel that the gay thoughts are real even though, their hearts, they know that they are straight. Before such treatment, HOCD (homosexualy anxiety ed by OCD) is all terror and rant. The send will be by an gay male who is the closet but has no HOCD.
STRAIGHT MALE HOCD SUFFERER: I know that I am gay, but I have only ever gotten hard wh girls. I do all this checkg by lookg at gay porn, and I still don’t know what I am. I have never been attracted to guys, but I know I am a gay guy.
THE SOLUTN TO "GAY" INSULTS: FREEDOM OF SPEECH
GAY MALE IN THE CLOSET WITH NO HOCD: I know that I am gay, and I have only ever gotten hard wh guys. I was tght that gay stuff was disgtg, but when I thk of beg held by a man I get butterfli my stomach.
The only anxiety I feel is over what others thk of gays and how I thk I’ll be treated by straight people power if they fd out about me.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM GAY? SIGNS YOU ARE GAY
I don’t feel any anxiety when I thk about how lucky gay guys who are out of the closet mt be, and I wish I uld be like them. When I saw rants like the first one last November, I knew that I was not alg wh gay folks at all.
Numero scientists, psychologists, healthre profsnals, and even relig activists are batg the nature of homosexualy (as well as other kds of sexualy). You nnot merely show an Am I gay tt rult to your fay and be done.
HOW DO I KNOW I’M NOT REALLY GAY/STRAIGHT?

Somehow even though he didn’t want to be gay other people thought he was, so he eventually thought he was.
