This may be a surprise to you, but you don’t have to have sex to be gay.

That does surprise me. Now I’m curious-- what does made someone gay?
Merely the fact that they are attracted to the same sex?

Basically, yes. But some people distinguish between homosexual (attracted to
the same sex) and gay (attracted to the same sex and itentifying themselves
as part of the gay community).

Not sure what you mean here John - how does a heterosexual opt into the gay
lifestyle?

A personal who grows up heterosexual, and, for whatever reason, decides to
forsake that and lead a gay lifestyle. I’m assuming this is possible-- that
they weren’t just repressing their gayness until a later point in life.

Do you mean all the traditionally gay “swishy” things (or if
female, dykey butch things), but not actually wanting sex with the same
gender? I’m a bit confused here.
|
lol Now I’m confused:-) I hope the above clarifies my question!
