    If you like to be, then difference and uniqueness is also a huge advantage! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    From a logistical and convenient point of view, if you and your partner are a similar size/build you get an extra wardrobe of clothes to wear which can be handy sometimes. I know it's just a small thing, but it can still be convenient sometimes.

    Everything said so far is great and pretty much what I would have said if I'd jumped in earlier. So the only advantage I have to had is... getting to have sex with guys. Like, seriously.

    Generally, we tend to be more accepting people. Don't get me wrong, not all of us. I've met more hateful people that tend to be gay also. But most of us are more understanding than most.

    It helps for weeding out 'friends' who are shall we say, not very enlightened. Also, guys :icon_bigg

    NOOOOOOOOO ACCIDENTS!!!! Not having to worry about birth control and nature overcoming human-made adversity is awesome.

    You're in full control of how many kids you have. Don't know about you, but I've never heard of someone accidentally flying to another country and adopting a child.

    This isn't in any studies, but I find gay people tend to be more mature because of the amount of time we spend thinking about ourselves. Maybe it's something else, or maybe we're just as mature as the rest of the world. Just a thought so I wouldn't call it an advantage ^.^

    Yeah, I have to agree. Time for introspection when you're figuring yourself out, you know?

    Well. I'm not gay (Best of both worlds here :wink:) but I'd have to say I'm thankful that I'm able to appreciate everything men have to offer.

    I was looking for that word! Thanks haha! I was also thinking how girls mature faster than guys and how we sometimes think like girls. Maybe it has an effect on maturity? This is all word vomit. Introspection makes more sense anyway because it explains the rest of the LGBT community's maturity!

    A domino effect: once you are open in one thing you are more likely to be open minded with other things. Gay people have been forced by their hormones and sexual attraction to be open minded to something many are closed minded, also they even get to suffer because of closed minded people. This leads to many gay people being very open minded, they have different view on the world.

    Wider perspective: straight people only know the straight perspective. Gay people know e gay perspective on a 100% but also, because they live in a world where most people is straight , where they see movies, books, ads, people,conversations, discussions,everything directed at straightness, because of that they also know to certain degree (not in a 100%)the straight perspective.

    Straight people have to go a long trail to understand the opposite sex+ another trail to understand the specific person they are dating, while gay people have only to do thr latter (guys understand guys, girls understand girls).

    Being gay has more creativity thinking because you understand more of the musculinity and feminity in general

    Or, you're in full control of how many kids you DON'T have.

    Interesting concept. I think that it leads to a more reflective approach to life. I also think that spending a lot of time thinking about oneself can make one a little insular. Guilty as charged.

    Not having to worry about unwanted pregnancy, being able to share clothes if said partner is the same/similar size, not being restricted to the standard gender binary and roles, getting to look at pretty girls, feeling more "free" to be who I am and like girls without feeling totally awkward, being able to help people in a similar scenario (and then extending help to other areas of life)... I like being able to not think in terms of masculine and feminine but in some kind of androgynous/mixed mindset, it allows me to get along with more kinds of people.

    I dunno if creativity and orientation are correlated, but I love being creative, and starting to become part of the LGBT community gives me so much more to talk and make art about. Minus the fact we agreed to never be creative again. :lol:
