For the sake of simplicity, this post is using gay men as an example, but the question applies to anyone who's queer.

- When you talk about potential love interests, do you use the "he" pronoun? Or do you use gender-neutral terms instead?

- Do you openly talk about attractive men?

- Are you comfortable expressing public affection with your sig. other?

And even if you do express your sexuality openly, are you still completely comfortable?

I don't think I ever will be, even in social groups/contexts where I'm out.

I usually say "someone" instead of "he" or "they", actually when expressing my fantasies about love and sex.

I openly talk about attractive men, but I was never comfortable with PDA. But I have held hands and made out with guys in public before.

For the most part, I am comfortable with my sexuality. I think I just fear offending the wrong person who will try and physically assault me or the male I'm with.

Yes, but I'm not about to tell people about my fetishes.

I'm extremely comfortable at work and school. I spend all of my shifts talking about attractive guys with female coworkers, and they keep insisting on hinting to this cute straight guy that I like him.

I've never really had a significant other, but I would probably be fine holding hands and stuff.

Well to be fair, I've only been out to a few people



I guess when I go to college I'll become more comfortable with time

i've never really struggled with it. i've always thought that there's nothing wrong with it, and didn't really have any serious denial of it. i didn't fully understand sexuality at first so i didn't really "know" there was anything abnormal about it, but when i realized that what i was feeling towards men was sexual attraction, i accepted that pretty quickly. i guess i'm lucky that i have really open-minded parents.

i'm actually not a very sexual person in general, so i don't really need to worry about this anyway i guess :I but in the rare occasions that it comes up i'm fine with saying whatever

Yep.

I am with you hurricane. Society ha wired me to feel awkward talking about liking men. (That and also not being out to my family).

Yes, But not in front of my parents. They look physically ill at the mere mention of anything non-straight

I use pronouns with my close friends (at least 20 of them I'd say). I usually just avoid 'love interests' discussion with str8 guys I'm not out to. If they ask me if I'm gay I don't lie about it though.

I'm comfortable with my sexuality but I don't really enjoy being a bttm so I've moved on from that and became a top.

yes. even when i first came out when i was 14 i was always open about my sex life, my relationships, who i was talking to, and all that. if people didn't/don't like me for it, then that's them. i'm a open, positive happy person and that ain't changin'

not really

I'm in a weird stage. I didn't really start coming out to people until about a year ago. I have no problem talking to people if they bring it up, but you won't catch me fawning over some guy I find attractive.

I want to say yes because I certainly wouldn't deny it if someone asked, but the thought of first telling someone about my bisexuality is a bit nerve wracking. I still do have a tiny fear of not being accepted or being thought of as gross, but that's not my issue to deal with really

Very much so.

Of course.

No, I only really talk about my crushes with my friend, she's the only one that know's I'm gay (aside from my family). She actually didn't even think that I was gay in the first place, but she's accepted me and that's all that matters, my grandmother still hasn't though

When I visit my parents I turn into a proud heterosexual.
