So what exactly is Gay? Is it a lifetime thing? does it have more to do with what one desires or with the way one acts? Dudes that have a family, wife and kids living on the "down low," are they "gay?" Are we really allowing high school kids make choices that affect the rest of their lives before they can vote? IS being "gay" strictly based on sexual preference? Why is gay so different from Pedophilia (and before people say "but it's consensual, there are 16 year olds who, legally and willingly sleep with dudes 23+)?
Being "gay" and "gay rights" are two very different issues, "Gay rights" is a legal construct, effecting alienation of property, whereas who you decide to sleep with, since Lawrence v Taylor, is up to you.
Made this thread after reading buzzfeed, I use to "know" what gay was, i.e two consenting adults of the same sex having sexual intercourse, but since we've decided that children, well before they have any sexual desire (or at least I'm not willing to say my 4 year old niece has sexual desire) are gay, that is where I started getting confused. Because I little boy wears a dress, now he's "gay" or because a girl chooses a Tonka Truck over a barbie doll, is she "Gay."
I really, really don't want ot hear anything about the "gay rights" struggle, that is a non issue, I have and will keep fighting for "gay rights" however, being "gay" isn't cut and dry to me,. I truly believe that "sexuality" is more of a continuim, with some people clearly being "gay" and other people clearly being "straight" and most people falling somewhere in the middle, making the "choice" to have homosexual sex or not based on the way they were raised, their social stimili and general self awareness.
Now, if they find a "gay" gene or a some sort of "chemical" gayness, than I'll believe people are born that way, until then, I believe being "gay" is a choice.
