Sexual preference..

[glorydaze]

As a gay man I'd say it is 100% not a choice. Who would choose it? When you're in school it is terrifying of being outed by anyone. You think your parents/mates will reject you if you dare come out. You're almost living half a life until you tell that first person.

I told my best mate nearly 2 years ago now and my parents last year when I was 21. After a rocky start with my parents it is now just not an issue.

Although I am gay, I have been with a lot more girls than what I have men. Even when I go out now, I tend to go with girls. I don't know why I do it, it could be an arrogance thing. In part though, I feel that I am doing the right thing if I go with women. After a man I'd go through terrible regret for a long time.

There are more 'straight' men who have been with men than what you'd think.

My son "resisted" for years, girlfriends etc. at 23 he came out and he has never been happier. Embrace and be proud of who you are.

It shouldnt matter
If someone just felt that way or chose it. Who cares? I mean really?
Everyone has a right to be as happy or as unhappy as they want to be with the person they choose. Let them look after their lives whilst you look after your own

Whatever floats your boat as long as its legal,I think far too much emphasis is placed on peoples sexuality,the shouts for gay
celebrities to come out is ridiculous,the claims that it would make life "simpler" for young people to do the same is nonsense
theres a world of difference between celebrity status and council estates and secondary modern schools,I think its a lot more acceptable now compared to 20/30 years ago but you will always get individuals opposed to anything they consider different

At the end of the day it doesn't matter, as long as you're happy with who you are.

Nobody would choose to subject themselves to the persecution gays have to deal with. So not a choice made.

This. I will say that women are more likely to experiment with same sex scenarios or relationships than men though. But I wouldn't classify those types as "gay". Women are just raised differently. They are much more touchy feely and less likely to have hang ups about being naked in front of their girlfriends than boys.

People can be bi-sexual, and you'd have to argue they were probably born that way too. But they tend to be more one than the other. I've known gays/lesbians that do have feelings for people of the opposite sex, and are open to a sexual manifestation of that, but they're really gay more than not.

I think you're right. There's no need for a thread like this or any other thread for that matter.

i think the fact that there is a thread like this on a football fans forum says a lot about how society has changed and about how ace GOT is
