Honest question: what is being gay?
Is it physical attraction?
Emotional attraction?
Both?
Is it dislike, fear(?) of opposite sex?
I imagine being gay would be a lot like that, except it would've been a boy.
If you can't see red, then I'm going to have a tough time explaining red to you.
Why some people dress or act similar to opposite sex to appear attractive to someone of the same sex? I mean, voice gestures etc. Hm...I should not said act, it's likely their trait. Anyway, why would someone who is gay be attracted to that person rather than opposite sex. I think sexuality is quite more fluid and calling someone gay does not mean much beyond 'not straight'.
> In this study, we use the term “same-sex sexual behavior,” which is defined as having ever had sex with someone of the same sex.
Honestly i have no idea but this might be one of the last places left on the internet you can ask a question like this without getting dogpiled.
I've batted for both teams in my life and i still can't tell you.
Not sure why i'm getting a hard time from our co-commenters. I assumed this place being primarily US and Tech it would be quite liberal.
There are lots of places on the internet where asking honest questions about the gay experience is not scary and will not get you flamed. Indeed, the existence of such venues is crucial to the self-discovery of gay people — especially gay people who live in hostile environments, and who may be in great need of a kind confidant.
> Is it dislike, fear(?) of opposite sex?
Not generally, no, just like most straight people don't dislike members of their own sex.
Anecdotally I think most of my gay friends have commented on how gross vaginas are to them. Add whatever clarifications on fluidity and spectrums that you want....
