I came across an organization recently. According to them, it's possible to have "same-sex attraction" without being gay.

They go on to say that "gay" is same-sex attraction combined with acceptance and a chosen identity.


Anywaaays, do you think people with "same-sex attraction" who don't identify as gay, are gay? Is gay something one must identify with? Or is one considered gay regardless of his wishes?

We accept the choices of people like Bruce Jenner or Rachel Dolezal, but when it comes to sexual orientation people are likely to mock, laugh or criticize any attempts to change or suppress same-sex thoughts or behaviours.

Do we?

You are only attracted to men and you are a man = gay. Being celibate doesn't change it. I've never been on a date, but is my friend with a boyfriend gay but not me? No. We both are.

The problem with suppression is the psychological suffering from the pressure. Repression is never good.

People can do what they want, but what irks me is that a majority of those who claimed to turn don't and hookup with men behind their poor wife's back.

Question: how did you land on this? Lately you seem to open even more gay themed threads than me

Yes, you can be a heteromantic homosexual. Nothing wrong with that.

So which definition of gay do you fall under, Goosey?

The 1st stage is denial

Just saw the books linked at the bottom: LDS 'guides'. The fact that this is a Mormon initiative automatically dismisses it. #notsorry

what is this mess?

Cult propaganda, but not as messy as a Jehovah pamphlet I saw once

That would put you as like a 5 on the Kinsey scale, right? Heterosexual with incidentally homosexual compulsions

What does this mean? And what of the opposite: homoromantic heterosexuals?

Not.

No, whether or not you accept it, if you have same-sex attractions you are gay.

d 5 is practically a full blown blimp-sized case of gay.

2 would be more accurate.

heteromantic homosexual is a person who only wants to have romantic relationship with the opposite gender but is sexually attracted exclusively to people of their same gender.

Ok goosey tell us babe Youre attracted Sexually to Vaginas Or Penis?Both? Whats ur Kinsey scale? cutie tell us about ur life #dontbeshy #StraightButNotNarrow

If by same-sex attractions you mean sexual attraction, then yes. But there's nothing wrong in being attracted to beautiful things. Men can find other men attractive, or admire a good male physique, but they are only gay if they want to do sexual stuff to those men. Just like gay people recognize the hotness or beauty of female stars but don't have the desire to sleep with them.
