    The reason I didn't vote at all is because of the split I noted above, so I wouldn't say you're completely alone, heh...

    I may or may not be LGBT, I haven't figured it out yet. But, apparently I'm not as accepting as I thought. I don't know how to feel about the fact that I could be LGBT.

    I'm very accepting of who I am. In fact I like myself.
    As far as my sexuality goes I'm still not sure what it is, but I know Love.
    Love is Oxytocin.

    Now, I am very accepting. I love being myself now. I am in this beautiful place because I am gay. But this is very different when I am much much younger. I dont like being gay. I even prayed to be straight.

    At one point I was probably Somewhat but now Mostly-Very.

    For the most part, I'm cool with it. I realize that every bit of my hesitation comes from my fear of how others would perceive me.

    Well I can't change what I like.. plus girls are too sexy for me to feel bad about liking them! So I voted very accepting. 2 years ago it would have been different though.. x

    I would have chosen very accepting if I was out to my parents.

    Sexuality. I'm fine with it, even if others may not be.

    Transgender-wise, eh, that can go from tolerated to somewhat. Depends on my mood, and what I'm doing. Some days I handle it better, and others it's an annoyance.

    It took me a long time to get to this point, but now I'm very accepting. Any residual issues I have with accepting my sexuality have to do with other people's perception of me, not with how I feel about myself. And I feel as I grow older, I care less and less about others' opinion of me.

    I'm completely fine with being gay, in fact I'm glad about it. I wouldn't become straight if that were an option available to me. Still hasn't helped me come out though. =/

    I want to be. I dont hate myself its just I really dont accept me as a person, I'm really trying to work on my self esteem and confidence in general, easier said than done.

    Very accepting, I love my orientation because it's part of who I am. But I was raised in a liberal city (Portland, OR) in a family that is pro-LGBT rights, and my friends are similarly accepting people. I imagine I would feel differently about myself if I'd discovered my sexuality in a different environment or if I'd been raised to think that gay was bad.

    Now that I'm actually out, very accepting. I don't know what my response would be if I were still in self-denial or in the closet..

    I'm not that accepting. Sometimes I feel ok with it, other times I slip back into denial. It all feels very surreal to me, still. I am slowly letting go of some of that self-hatred, at least, and am in a better place than I was when this all started, however.

    At this point, everything is out in the open to anyone that matters a lick, the way I see it, is if I really was something else, I would've been disgusted or at least un-amused after the first :***: :icon_redf

    Mostly accepting.

    I was outed nearly 6 years ago now, and im fine with being gay myself, but I notice people treat me differently to straight people. For example, a friend might give somebody a hug, but not me.

    Its mostly silly things like that, but it just reminds me that im different to everybody else, which upsets me, because I want to be treated based on who I am, not what I am.

    It's part of who I am. To not accept that would be illogical.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    i'm somewhat accepting, but i hope i'll grow in to it someday, because it makes me feel a lot better then when i was stil hiding it.
    I'm at the beginning of a long journey but i'll get there in time...
    Maybe when i'm out of the closet it will get better...
