But I don't believe that. Being a homozexual is a part of me, it's not all of me or how I define myself. I don't believe my personality would be much different whether I slept with men or women.
I have straight male friends who are very compassionate towards gay people and gay rights. Why would I not assume that I would be similar?

Your sexuality doesn't define you as a person, but there are certainly a set of life experiences, and thus knowledge, that comes along with being gay and coming out, and those things shape your character in a bigger way than you think. Had you not dealt with the internal conflict of coming to terms with your sexuality and never experienced those hardships that you mentioned, you would be a different person today, point blank period. I don't know
in what way you would be different had you been born straight, but every single one of us would have been different in some way had we been born straight. There's no arguing against that. When you change one thing, the entire course of your life changes.
