Orientation Poll
 

With all this I am hearing about Stevie being a gay Icon, I was wondering what everyone's Sexual Orientation was.

I am a gay male.

Please share!

I have been known to play the skin flute..

:::checks watch:::

yup. still homosexual.

dammit, it's an anonymous poll? :mad: :laugh:

gay.

notice to bi-sexual vote - COME OUT!!!

I personally don't understand it myself....

It's a little chicken****..how ironic..Dontcha think?:laugh:

I went with straight. I did consider myself a bisexual at one point and I do still find some women attractive and wouldn't be against the idea of being romantically and/or sexually involved with a woman, but overall I prefer men.

Thats a little ignorant. Don't some straight people say the same thing about being gay :shrug:

Anyway, Im mostly attracted to men, but I am attracted to women as well, so I went with bi...

I wouldn't call it ignorant. I just don't get it. Everyone is different and I understand that.

Whats not to get - we like both :laugh:

**Hands Across America**

"...We are the world....we are the children":wavey:

Are you bi too??

And yeah - I HATE when gay or straight people say **** like "come out already" or "pick a side" To that I say, "**** off."

Why people who have been so harshly judged would turn around and just just as judgemental is horrible to me.

Why don't I come out already? Because I happen to be attracted to both men and women. I don't care about gender, for me I choose a person for who they are.

I've had amazing relationships with men and amazing relationships with women. Bisexuality is real and does exist and is much more prevelant than some people think.

Contrary to popular belief it is not chicken ****, nor is it the last stop before gayville...not for everyone. I've been bisexual my whole life - and will continue to be.

I'm a straight male...who loves Rod Stewart and Madonna:D

Thats exactly what Im like - Im attracted to the person rather than their gender.

Although in saying that, its not 50:50 attraction for me, its more like 80:20 :laugh:

80:20. Those aren't very good odds there :p

I've never thought about it - I used to be pretty 50:50 but after being screwed over very badly by some very ****ed up and evil women I swore them off and tried to be mainly straight...but now I'm starting to open myself up again to the possibility of love coming from woman...

So now I'd say I'm at about 60:40 :p

Didn't mean to offend Mikey. You know I love you.

I chose straight but I've often thought about being with a woman.

No, they aren't - she'd have to be one hell of a woman :laugh:

You didn't offend me - I just wanted to educate you Jimmy :angel:

YOu know, I just thought of something else - some of the stuff I touched on and some of the stuff said in this thread is what makes me HATE HATE HATE the term bisexual. Which I do.

I hate labels, which in turn sounds sort of flaky...but you say bisexual people think you're either confused, chicken ****, a slut/whore or gay. It gets annoying...I'm none of those things...:shrug:

Agreed! I hate labels in a big way, in fact, I had this same conversation with Bill (buckymcnix) last week...

Bill made a choice though...

Gay here, but I wouldn't etch it into a stone tablet or anything.

Here's the Kinsey thread from two years ago that'll shed some light on who's what:

My gay-homoness is freeeeking etched in stone, babe!

:nod: :blob1: :xoxo:

I'm gay.
And while I have had sex with women in my past, I do not consider myself bisexual at all. I'm a dude that likes dudes.

I voted asexual....may as well be. :rolleyes:

YOU ARE NOT!!!:p

How did I miss that? I'm either a 4 or a 5, I can't decide which.

I used to feel the same way, but...eh. If I weren't in a relationship now, I'd be willing to experiment.

me too...lots of chicks. you just need to deal with the reality after awhile. whatever that is for you.:nod:

Aw. You can't be. Next to Walt Disney World, you live in the gayest place on Earth. You'll find someone. :)

Actually, I think it goes:

1. The Ledge
2. Walt Disney World
3. San Francisco

Can I just share a quick story. Last night I went to see a friend for happy hour. Things have been bad at work and I need to talk, etc. Halfway into our first vodka tonic, he is already cruising half the bar. Halfway through the second drink, he is following a couple of guys into the bathroom. It got so bad I overheard one of the guys telling his friends that we was being stalked.

We were supposed to have dinner, but my friend said "I don't think I really want dinner", I'm just gonna hang here by myself. Which I guess meant "get the hell out of here, I'm gonna continue my pointless cruising".

It's times like that when I get down on gay men. In the meantime, I have these amazing dinners with women and even though I'm not sexually attracted to them, I feel attracted in a certain way.

What's my point......

I don't know, but after I got home, I got a text from my friend saying "going home alone".

^Ry,

I can totally relate to your story. I would rather hang out with the ladies from work than hang out with gay men. You can find guys who become really good friends, however. It's painstaking at times trying to find someone to rely on who doesn't want to get down your pants. I would like a gay best friend, but I have yet to find one that doesn't think with his penis.

I've experienced that kind of thing. My social circle has collapsed to nothing over the past 8 or 9 months - I have no friends now except for my boyfriend, and I'm at a loss as to how to make new ones. But I don't think I'd intentionally seek out gay guys as friends; for one thing, the ones I've met don't seem to understand the concept of "platonic friendship." Your story illustrates another reason. "Bros before hos," people!

I am lucky, as I do have a couple of very good gay friends who transcend the whole penis thing. But they are in relationships and therefore completely unavailable except for an occasional dinner at their house.

There's some cool stuff going on in SF, like this group called ActivelyOUT that organizes activities for gay men and is intended to get people together in nonsexual environments just to socialize. I did a museum outing once with them and really enjoyed it. I should do more with them, but sometimes it's hard to show up by yourself not knowing who will be there.

My best friend is gay. When we go out, we have a blast. We can cruise, we can play darts, we can sit in a corner and gossip or we can just go somewhere and watch the Spurs and not say much. We used to have sex a long time ago but realized that we were gonna be better friends than F*** buddies, so that line was drawn.
He's a great guy, cute as can be and keeps ME in my place. I love him.

Three of my closest friends are females. We tell each other EVERYTHING and there are very few secrets within my circle. These ladies are my dinner dates, my concert companions, my shopping tag alongs. There are very few of my male friends that I spend as much time as I do with "my girls".

Is he single?:wavey:

Actually, he is single at the moment!
Here's a pic of Patrick...

I really hate that too, it pisses me off. saying pick a side is as good as saying to a gay person to choose a partner of the opposite sex, its really ignorant. I don't come out because of what I thought would be obvious, I like guys too much, my boyfriend wouldn't really like it.

Cute! :D ten characters
