    Would it help if I said that I am definitely gay, without a doubt? :thumbsup:

    I would never want to be straight because them men are sexy and even though I have gone through so much because I was gay. It's a part of me and it is a strong part of me and makes me into the man I am today.

    Why straight?:confused: I would ideally choose to be a Pansexual! Then it will be easier to find love if I want it.:grin:

    Nope. I like the way I am and I doubt I'd be as understanding if I was straight.

    As much as I think that Straight people have more privilege, I think it's easier for me to explain to my parents why I haven't had a girlfriend when I tell them I'm gay.

    I say NO!!!!!!:tantrum:! Up until recently I have lived that way and have not enjoyed much of it. I feel so much more at home in my skin these days. If anyhting I would just be Gay. It may seem easier, might be a bigger pond to fish in, but at the end of the day Im so much more happy now, and would never want to go back! :eusa_danc

    If I had the choice to be either gay or straight, I would chose to be gay. My sexuality has been such a big part of me lately so it's hard to imagine a life without all the questioning and confusion. I feel like it helped me grow as a person and I am extremely grateful for that. Also, it doesn't hurt that I can fool around without worrying about getting pregnant.

    Yeah, I think so because I don't like feeling different (and oppressed/discriminated against, but that goes without saying). And, as others have mentioned, the dating pool is smaller when you're gay. At the same time I don't like straight culture, partly because I can't relate to it very well.

    I might change my mind once I've accepted my sexuality more.

    In my current state of mind, yeah I'd love to be straight. Being gay has only caused me pain. If I were straight I wouldn't be worrying right now about being discriminated against, never having a crush that will like me back, if I should come out to my friends, and disappointing my family for not wanting a husband and kids. Man straight people have it made.

    Lesbians are awesomeness, and I like being one. Even before I had any idea I was, I thought lesbians were really cool. I'm too disturbed by the idea of me dating a guy for me to want to be straight. It's always amusing to see/hear people's reactions when I come out to them, and I'm generally accepted, so it's not as if people's opinions of me would make me want to be straight. I like girls and I want to keep liking them forever; I can't give up something so cool and awesome about me! XD

    Edit: Additionally, I don't want to lose my unique perspective of the way I see girls. I don't want to lose my ability to admire how beautiful and wonderful they are, and I have no desire to see guys in that special way. It almost feels like I've been given a gift, to get to see these magical things about girls that most other girls don't get to see.

    And, I'm terrified of pregnancy, so being straight would put pressure on me to get pregnant someday. Back when I thought I'd end up with a guy, I worried a lot that I'd have to give birth someday. But now no one expects that of me.

    I'm kind of glad that I'm not straight, because otherwise I wouldn't have met the super-nice and super-supportive online community on EC!
    And plus, girls are really hot. :slight_smile:

    I could never imagine being straight. For that reason, I can't answer the poll because it is just unrealistiv for me to think about.

    I say no... Because I love men.

    But a part of me thinks , that it would be easier if I were either straight. Or infact a girl.
    But then .. If I were a girl, the same guys I go for now, would be messing with my head, as im sure they're gay.. So... I don't know.

    Being gay is only hard for me only because I fall Inlove with guys who are struggling with themselves .

    No~ but I'd love if straight and non-straight were both equally accepted and "normal" in the eyes of everyone...
