You think so, huh?
Well, let's see...
1. Are you attracted to someone of the same sex?
2. Do you think Will and Grace is the funniest show ever made?
3. Are you wondering what it would be like to have sex with your best (same-gender) friend?
4. Do you like Broadway musicals?
5. Are you usually the best-dressed person at school?
6. Guys: do you like movies about gladiators?
7. Girls: did you play with GI Joe when you were younger? Do you still?
8. Guys: do you paint, sing, or dance?
9. Girls: do you play sports like field hockey and rugby?
10. Have you ever "messed around" with someone of the same sex?
If the answer to at least 4 of these questions is "yes," guess what?
It means
NOTHING!
(actually,
if you answered #2 "yes," you're almost definitely straight)
There's no test to determine if you're gay or not. Only YOU can know that. Some people know when they are really young and never question it. Others spend their whole lives wondering (though I gotta say, if you spend THAT much time thinking about it, there's probably a good reason!). For a lot of people, the realization comes to them over time during their adolescence.
A lot of straight people enjoy the same things that stereotypes say are "gay." Straight guys sing and act, straight women make great rugby players.
And then there's sex.
Man, don't you
sometimes wish it came with a manual??? Adolescence is a really
weird
time, the hormones get going, you're looking around you thinking "I
have
just got to jump on SOMEONE!" Your eye just might linger on that
person of the same sex, but you know what? That doesn't
necessarily
mean you're gay, it just means that you recognize that person is
attractive
(and let's face it, you're kinda horny!). A lot, and I mean a
LOT,
of straight people have messed around with someone of the same sex at
some
point in their lives, often during their teenage years. If you've
done that, you might be gay, and if so, you're certainly not
alone! But
you know, it IS possible that you were just horny, or maybe curious, so
don't come screaming out of the closet to your family and moving to San
Francisco just yet. Think about it (I said "think," not
"agonize")
for a while, and figure out what it means to you. If you don't
have
any interest in doing it again, you might well be straight, and that's
OK, the world needs people who breed. But if you can't WAIT to do
it again, you might check out the Yep,
I'm Gay page.
