    I suppose I could help you out as well. I consider myself Bisexual though so I don't know if its exactly what you want.

    How did you know you were gaay?
    When I was about 12 I started to notice it. Oblivious until then.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?
    Haven't been with a girl (or guy). Attraction tends to weaker overall and somewhat detached. Its hard to describe. Its doesn't feel as right with women (I know that sounds stupid) but I think I am capable of doing the deed with them. I won't know for certain until I get intimate with a women but I do have sexual thoughts about women. The only way I can describe is that theres a wire towards women but all the other wires are towards men.

    Do your family know, do they mind?
    No. They would mind. So would I.

    How did you 'come out'?
    Haven't. Don't intend to either.

    Did you get picked on at school?
    A bit early on. Though it was because of my hair. Nothing relating to this.

    Are you camp?
    Not even remotely.

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?
    No.

    How do you meet others?
    Probably the internet.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?
    Most likely not.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?
    Eh nobody knows. Big help I'm being. :p

    Do you feel normal?
    No. But I can live with it. What is a normal feeling anyway?

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?
    God no. Curiousity in wondering what my child would be like but overall i don't want that.

    Can you hold hands in public?
    Definetely not. :eek:

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?
    A lot of people go clubbing.

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?
    I don't think you'll know until then. :eek:

    Does sex hurt?
    Virgin. But apparentely its excrutiating.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?
    No.

    Do you go to gaay pride?
    No. Doesn't interest me.

    Are you happy?
    I tolerate it. I don't hate it anymore.

    Would you want to be straight?
    Asked me a year ago and I would have said yes. Now I feel as though it doesn't matter. Sure I wouldn't mind being more attracted to women but after some of the horror stories I've heard I think I'll live. :p

    Oh go on then, I'll give it a go...
    How did you know you were gaay?

    It's not like there was a sudden realisation or anything. Guess I was always attracted to other blokes, and I'm talking about from a young age.
    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?

    I've been with a couple of women before, a long time ago. The first time because I felt like it was what was supposed to happen, the second time because I really liked and was attracted to the woman. I remember that with the first one it felt rotten, mostly, because I knew it wasn't what I really wanted. The second time was great, while it lasted, but she went of to university, then a mutual friend outed me to her and it all went a bit wrong, but we're still quite good friends now.
    Do your family know, do they mind?

    Family (immediate and extended) all know and they are all fine with it and all really like my partner.
    How did you 'come out'?

    Not very well, as it turns out! I eventually came out to my mum when I was about 21, after a very close friend of mine, who wanted a relationship took his own life. Didn't come out to my dad for quite a while afterwards. My mum was all kinda "wondered when you were going to say something" and my dad was all "and your point is?" :)
    Did you get picked on at school?

    Yes, a bit, even though I wasn't out at school, some people just kinda latched on to whatever the hell they latched on to. Some of the hassle I got at school was nothing to do with this.
    Are you camp?

    Nope.
    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?

    Not really, but I did spend more time in Edinburgh visiting bars and restaurants and stuff. I did go along to the LGBT society at Edinburgh Uni, even though I didn't go there myself, my partner was quite heavily involved. Also went along to an LGTB youth theatre group for a bit and to a more local LGBT group on and off for a while.
    How do you meet others?

    Well, I initially met up with a few people that I'd first spoken to online on gay websites, that's how I met my partner and we've been together 11 years now. Through him I met a pile of new people at Edinburgh Uni's LGBT society. Had an on/off relationship with someone that started at school when I was about 15 and went on for about six or seven years. Got to know a couple of other gay kids at one of the schools I worked at, and through them was introduced to other groups of people.
    Do gay people all cruise toilets?

    Not at all. Some choose to do so, but it's by no means 'the norm'.
    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this question. People do treat me as normal, whatever that is, but even now I still have a habit of not being completely open with people unless they ask me a direct question. I work in a large number of different places, I meet dozens of different people every week, and some assume that I'm straight, and I have to say that I don't always correct them, because quite frankly I can't be bothered with all their questions a lot of the time, especially if they already know bits about my life (see an answer a few questions down).
    Do you feel normal?

    I do now, and I'd have to say that I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I didn't feel normal when I was younger, I really struggled with it when I was a teenager, but that's not uncommon unfortunately, and it's really quite sad.
    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?

    We will probably get Civilised at some point. This may come as a surprise to you (I've been reading some of your other threads and can see that you're struggling a bit) but gay people can have kids. We have two wonderful kids, a five year old daughter and a three year old son. We co-parent them with a female couple that we've known for years. The kids spend some of their week here, and some of the week at their mums. They frequently spend a night at my parents house as they love spending time with their gran and grandad. I know of several other queer families, and there are a lot more than even I thought!
    Can you hold hands in public?

    We do sometimes, but not very often I have to say, we're just not really that kind of couple. It will be weird as my boyfriend is going to be working abroad for most of the week for the next three months, so I'm sure there will be a bit of cuddling etc going on at the airport!
    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?

    Some do, some don't, just like straight people. It's not something that's ever appealed to me personally, but I used to go to the pub quite regularly when I was younger, sometimes to a gay pub, other times to another place with a group of gay friends.
    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?

    A number of ways really. Some people try it out and decide for themselves which they prefer, if they have a preference, some people are just versatile, or happy either way. Some people just know that they' prefer to be one or the other, or neither. Gay sex does not have to equal anal sex. I know a younger guy who is just absolutely freaked out by the thought of anal sex and is happy doing other activities (and I don't mean Scrabble! :D )
    Does sex hurt?

    If you're talking about receiving anal sex, then yes, it can hurt, or be a bit uncomfortable. Foreplay is important, you have to trust your partner. It does get easier if you practice regularly. Having said that, some people like it a bit rough, so whatever floats your boat really.
    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?

    Like I said above, I don't always. I don't know why really, but sometimes it's just easier to refer to my boyfriend as 'my partner' and if they assume it's a female then I'm not always going to correct them. It all depends on the situation really, sometimes you just get a sense that someone is going to be a little uncomfortable or whatever, so it's easier just to let them think whatever the hell they like, other times you just know that someone will be fine with it, or you can have a laugh with them about it and it's all good. I know that's not a popular opinion amongst some people. I've had people say to me that it's not fair or wrong or whatever to let people thing incorrect things about me, but frankly they can sod off, it's my life and I'll choose what I think is the easiest path.
    Do you go to gaay pride?

    I used to, but not been for a few years.
    Are you happy?

    Very :)
    Would you want to be straight?

    Nope, not a chance. I used to think that, because that's what I felt/thought was expected, but I learned otherwise when I grew up.

    I've read some of your other posts and it sounds like you're in a not-great place right now. You need to work out for yourself what you want out of your life, what's going to make you happy. I would say don't worry about what others think, but realise from what you said elsewhere about your culture that it's not as easy as that for you.

    I hope you are able to make some sensible choices and can be happy in whatever you choose.

    How did you know you were gaay?

    Just did. I knew very early on I was in to other guys.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?

    Lost my virginity to a girl when I was 15. It was over very quickly. :D:o Didn't feel much about it emotionally.

    Do your family know, do they mind?

    Maternal side do and some of the more liberal on my dads side but not my dad himself. Nobody who I've told has blinked an eyelid.

    How did you 'come out'?

    I've only ever sat two people down to tell them. My mum and my best friend. Neither of them made a big deal of it, thank god! Everyone else has heard through the grapevine or just worked it out.

    Did you get picked on at school?

    No. I was too mouthy to allow it.

    Are you camp?

    I'd like to think not, but apparently I have my moments.

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?

    I prefer living in urban areas but not really because of the higher density population of gays. I can't be doing with sleepy villages with nosey bastard neighbours and third world amenities.

    How do you meet others?

    Other gays? Probably from gay clubs and day to day life. I don't go on any of those ghastly websites like gaydar.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?

    I don't.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?

    People do presume things and ask questions, but I generally just humour them.

    Do you feel normal?

    Yeahhh

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?

    No and no. I don't believe in marriage (but don't look down on people who do). I don't mind kids but I couldn't have my life affected in such a way as to have them. Selfish? Very, but it's my life.

    Can you hold hands in public?

    I have done but not all the time. I don't feel it necessary.

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?

    I think clubbing is important to a lot of gay people. It's one of the rare occasions when you'll be in a room full of other gays (if you go gay obviously). It's probably the best way to be with other gay people but possibly the worst to look for a relationship. Fantastic for finding a shag though, depends what you're after. :)

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?

    I found out pretty quickly. :D Definitely top.

    Does sex hurt?

    It does for the first few goes. Naturally things open up after a while! I rarely take it though. I've been lucky to find bottomers more often than not.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?

    No. They either work it out or they don't know. I cannot bear gays that make a point of it, or those whose whole personality is about being gay. It's pathetic.

    Do you go to gaay pride?

    Once and it was shit.

    Are you happy?

    Pretty much, single again but I'm happy with that, for now. ;)

    Would you want to be straight?

    Nah.

    How did you know you were gaay?
    When other girls were going on about fancying this male singer or that male actor I always found myself attracted to the females. Whenever I saw a guy I didn't take much notice but always took notice when an attractive girl walked by. At first I didn't think much of it but by 13 I realised women did it for me while guys I just saw as friends.
    I know how that may come across but I don't know the best way to describe it.
    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?
    No
    Do your family know, do they mind?
    Yes and they don't mind
    How did you 'come out'?
    I told my mum that I'm a lesbian. That's it really. My dad died before I could tell him.
    Only one aunt and uncle know I'm gay but I don't feel the need to tell my other aunts, uncles or cousins as I don't really see them.
    Did you get picked on at school?
    No. Although I knew at 13 I kept quiet til I was 17
    Are you camp?
    No
    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?
    No. Still live in the same place but hasn't affected me
    How do you meet others?
    Usually at a club but my last two girlfriends I met through friends
    Do gay people all cruise toilets?
    No.
    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?
    I get the odd comment or question but mostly from guys who are 18-26 everyone else treats me the same as everyone else. I did have some females stop being friends with me as they thought I was attracted to them but it's their problem not mine
    Do you feel normal?
    Yes
    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?
    Not interested right now but who knows when I'm older?
    Can you hold hands in public?
    Yes
    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?
    No. I haven't been clubbing in months. Prefer if I'm out somewhere quiet
    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?
    Guess I can't answer this one
    Does sex hurt?
    Not at all. Unless you're on about anal then I can't answer that one.
    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?
    I don't tell new people I meet I'm gay as straight people don't say "Hi, I'm Paul and I'm straight".
    Do you go to gaay pride?
    Yes
    Are you happy?
    Of course
    Would you want to be straight?
    No. I'm happy as I am.

    Edit: Just realised this thread may be to help a guy so my replies are probably useless. I thought it was just a general question thread :o

    How did you know you were gaay?

    I was attracted to men - to be honest it took a while to realise (talking when I was very young here) and then, once old enough to realise it was sexual attraction took a long, log time to accept it - largely due to where and when I grew up and the local 'society' view of gay people - I just didn't want to admit to myself I was 'that'.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?

    Yep - didn't feel right to me at all. Then I realised that when girl friends met knew boyfriends I was jealous of the 'wrong' person.

    Do your family know, do they mind?

    Immediate family and all friends know, and no they don't mind. As for extended family - well it is their problem, and I will drop them like a tonne of bricks if it ever turned out to be a problem. I am not really that close to most of my extended family anyway - hence them not 'knowing'

    How did you 'come out'?

    I was drunk - some bitch relative had made snide remarks to my mum insinuating she thought I might be 'funny' (she is a God lover type), so when my mum told me I told her the truth - had hidden it for years (stupidly - in hindsight)

    Did you get picked on at school?

    Yes - but that was more for being fat than being a poofter - yes, I do think comments were made, but then everyone got picked on for something.

    Are you camp?

    No - I can be (for comedy value)

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?

    Yes and no - I did end up moving to a city (Greater Manchester) but that was cos I hated where I lived for a number of reasons, not just because it was a homophobic back street town.

    How do you meet others?

    Talk to people - join in - went to the local boozer - mixed. I should probably say that most of my friends are straight - oh, and all know I am gay and it is of no more importance than the fact I am tall - or have brown hair - or could lose a few pounds.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?

    No - some do, some don't - like all things with all people.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?

    Yes - some people (no doubt, in fact of course) make comments (behind my back or two my face), but then people do that about all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons. Their problem - not mine.

    Do you feel normal?

    Yes - that is to say I am what I am.

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?

    In truth - yes and yes - but probably ain't gonna happen - but that is down to me and my own personality etc. Being gay does not preclude marriage (ok, civil partnership at the moment) or kids. I just ain't good at picking boyfriends ! Oh well !!

    Can you hold hands in public?

    See above - sadly doesn't really apply right now, but if I was with a man I could - yes there may be places that it would result in a nasty comment, but again - their problem.

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?

    No - not been clubbing in months - probably a year at least. At my age, just not my thing.

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?

    How do you know if you like Marmite ?

    Does sex hurt?

    No - unless that is what you want. If it hurts, and you don't want it to, tell him you are not enjoying it and to stop.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?

    No - if they ask I tell, I do not 'hide it' but then again I don't wear it like a badge. I guess it only gets mentioned if it is relevant or a conversation goes that way.

    Do you go to gaay pride?

    Most years - but may or may not go this year. It is optional !!

    Are you happy?

    Leading question - about some things in my life yes, about others - no. Much like anyone else I suspect.

    Would you want to be straight?

    Deep down truth - it may have made life easier in some ways, but I didn't get a choice in the matter - men turn me on. women don't. Would I want to be five inches shorter ? Would I want to be better looking ? Would I want to have been born ten years later ? As I said before, I am what I am, and I am happy with the person I grew up to be

    That's kind of it for now.:D

    How did you know you were gay?
    It's easy really, you fancy men and not women. I'd cottoned on by about 8 or 9 that I looked at men the same way as my friends looked at women, and knew what that meant. I've looked at men since as long as I can remember.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?
    Yes. I was a bit meh about the whole thing. It's like having a wank.

    Do your family know, do they mind?
    They got over it.

    How did you 'come out'?
    Told friends first, then told my mum. Never actually told my dad, but he got it in the end.

    Did you get picked on at school?
    No.

    Are you camp?
    No.

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gays?
    Yes. Gays tend to congregate in urban areas so your batting average goes up if you live in a city.

    How do you meet others?
    Bars, clubs, t'interwebs.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?
    No. I know one person that ever did that.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?
    I suppose.

    Do you feel normal?
    Yes.

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?
    Yes, and it is possible, although unlikely.

    Can you hold hands in public?
    Yers, but I'd rather not. Too many icy stares.

    Do gay people all like to go clubbing every weekend?
    No. Some are very boring.

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?
    You just do. And some don't do anal anyway. They're the boring ones who also don't do clubs.

    Does sex hurt?
    No.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?
    Not especially no.

    Do you go to gay pride?
    Sometimes. They're getting a bit commercial now, and it's hard to get a hotel sometimes.

    Are you happy?
    No, but that's nothing to do with gayness.

    Would you want to be straight?
    I'm used to gay now, although being straight would be easier in some ways, and harder in others.

    I'm not interested in girl things like make up, fashion etc and do enjoy sport more and wear jeans or trousers more than skirts or dresses but, as said, I wouldn't label myself as anything. I'm just me really.

    How did you know you were gaay? - I fancied men. It was as simple as that.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel? - I had three girlfriends and was intimate with 2 of them before I realised I was gay. I knew when I was with the that it didn't feel properly right, but I kept with it thinking it was just relationship "nerves".

    Do your family know, do they mind? - They all know and none of them mind. In fact, they make jokes in an accepting way - they make jokes about anything. Nothing has changed except a massive weight was lifted off my shoulder. I was expecting rejection but people didn't care at all.

    How did you 'come out'? - My friends knew from when I was around 19 (I'm 26 now) but originally to my mum when I was drunk :o Then to my sister when I was... drunk :o Then to my entire family at a FUNERAL WAKE!!! when I was... drunk :o


    Did you get picked on at school? - Yes, I got the odd remark but I wasn't properly camp. It was mainly because I was creative I think. At school I was popular in the sense that a lot of people knew me, but I never hug around with the "popular" kids. I wasn't bullied much, just off comments from a few people.

    Are you camp? Not really. I can camp it up when I am drunk, but I'm usually messing on.

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays? - I moved to Manchester, but not for Canal Street! I moved there for uni so took proper residence afterwards.

    How do you meet others? - I don't. The only gay men I have been with is one night stands after nights out. I haven't had a boyfriend.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets? - Haha, nope. Some do because it's easy to meet someone (same sex... same toilet... both have willies :p) but most don't.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things? - People presume I am straight until they find out. I prefer this because it stops any preconceptions people have about gay people so they get to know me for me rather than "the gay guy".

    Do you feel normal? - Nope, but not because I am gay. I am a general weirdo :p

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible? - Nope to both, but as life takes me it might change.

    Can you hold hands in public? - If you want. Some places are more accepting. The large cities will probably be more accepting; especially London, Manchester and Brighton which are known for their gay communities. Then again, you're also open for more off-hand remarks.

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend? - Just as much as other people. Some do, some don't.

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'? - Depends what mood I'm in and if I can be 'arsed' (pun intended!)

    Does sex hurt? - Nope, unless it's dry :p

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are? - Nope, I don't get dramatic but if people want to know I am gay I tell them.

    Do you go to gaay pride? Nope. I went to Notting Hill Carnival on the last Manchester Pride and this year I'll probably be away from Manchester as well. I never go to other cities prides, either.

    Are you happy? - I could be happier, but that's more about life and not being gay.

    Would you want to be straight? - Sometimes but I know I'm not.

    I never understood why alot of gay people say they knew they were gay from a young age. I didn't realise I was straight until about 11 because I was asexual before that. I always figured gay people were asexual too until around puberty and the only difference was they're sexual preference is different, otherwise I thought there was nothing really different in terms of development. Maybe I'm just weird I dunno :o

    I also believe that people are, mentally, asexual at an early age and sexuality develops with the person.

    These people who claim to know they were gay from a very early age are probably looking at it from what they can remember doing rather than thinking.

    How did you know you were gaay? First wet dream was a dude, and it sort of solidified my internal feelings, finally came out to myself around 15. My parents say they knew when I was a small child like 5 years old though.
    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel? Yes, had a few girlfriends or something like that in high school, trying to figure myself out. Fooled around with a girl it was ok, but it just didn't feel quite right, I'd still like to have sex with a girl once though.
    Do your family know, do they mind? I'm the youngest of 5 boys, and my next older brother is also gay, they have always said "be safe, and we'll always love you no matter what you're our son"
    How did you 'come out'? Got caught in the basement with a boy.
    Did you get picked on at school? Nope, I would probably be considered one of the popular kids.
    Are you camp? I don't think so, I've heard it all though, Ohh you walk kinda gay, you're voice is kinda gay, I could totally tell you were gay after like 20 minutes. But, I have had work relationships where they are none the wiser.
    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays? No, moved for school, like half hour away with my brother. It's a bigger city but not all gay.
    How do you meet others? Just by being myself and going out there, you can meet people anywhere, coffee shops, Barnes & Noble, bars, amusement parks.
    Do gay people all cruise toilets? Nope, public bathrooms are SICK!
    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things? I've never had a bad experience, my boyfriend is from a more rural place and he said that he got called names in school, but nothing more than that.
    Do you feel normal? I feel like myself, I'm not normal I'm uniqure, and spectacularly intelligent, and funny, and pretty much effing awesome.
    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible? I think I want kids way in the future, I don't think I'll get married like in a Church, I may throw a small ceremony someday
    Can you hold hands in public? Yes have and do all the time.
    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend? Nope, I don't goto bars alot, when i can make better cheaper drinks at home, and my friends come to me.
    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'? Whichever one just comes to you naturally. Just me, I like bottom because you don't have to do as much. Hahaha ;-)
    Does sex hurt? Only if you're doing it wrong.
    Do you tell everyone you are what you are? What am I? I am Steve hear me Roar!! Umm, no I don't wear a sign that says "this be's a ****" if that's what you mean. If it comes up and it's pertinent that it's public info, but otherwise it's not that important. I'm a person before I'm a homosexual, I'm a boy from Ohio who's going to school, who likes the Buckeyes, and chicken nuggets, before I'm gay. There's so much more to me than who I'm sleeping with.
    Do you go to gaay pride? Have before, it's lame, it's like cruising for a hook-up with a bunch of drunk people. More exciting are circuit parties, but even those are giant hook-up fests. Not exactly what I look for.
    Are you happy? Sometimes.
    Would you want to be straight? I like myself and I enjoy the company of dude's around me. I also have some of the best friends in the Universe that are girls, and while I'd like to have sex with a girl once, I don't know if I would be comfortable living in a heterosexual relationship, but I want to try intercourse to see. So I guess short answer is no, I don't want to be, I suppose I could slip into heterosexuality but I don't know if it wouldn make me happy.

    How did you know you were gaay?

    I knew when I was 7. It was not a sexual attraction of course, but an emotional one.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?

    Yes, once, when I was about 13, but only because I thought it was expected of me.

    Do your family know, do they mind?

    I've never told them but they know, and I know they know, and they know I know they know, so it's cool.

    How did you 'come out'?

    To my friends I initially told them I was bi, because that seemed more acceptable at the time.

    Did you get picked on at school?

    Yes. I was a little drama queen at school. Most people found it entertaining, a few picked on me for it. I've mostly grown out of it now and am just like anyone else really.

    Are you camp?

    No. I'm kind of feminine, but not in the stereotypical sense. In my mind I'm sort of half man half woman.

    I'm completely averse to hair dye, fashion trends, Lady GaGa, etc.

    If I were a woman, I'd be a masculine tomboy like Lara Croft or somebody, put it that way.

    Did you move somewhere, like the city, to meet others... where, and what's it like, all gaays?

    No.

    How do you meet others?

    It just happens naturally. I don't go looking.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?

    No. The last place I'd want to have sex is some cold, smelly toilet.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?

    Normal. People receive short shrift if they start asking me for fashion advice or anything like that.

    Do you feel normal?

    Yes.

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?

    Maybe.

    Can you hold hands in public?

    Of course, why not?

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?

    Not all of them.

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?

    Don't ask me. I'm versatile and can't for the life of me understand how you can be exclusively one or the other.

    Does sex hurt?

    Not if you do it properly. ie. relax and give yourself time to get used to it.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?

    No, why would I?

    Do you go to gaay pride?

    No. Some enjoy going but I can't stand the idea.

    Are you happy?

    With myself, yes.

    Would you want to be straight?

    Not really.

    How did you know you were gaay?

    because i wasn't attracted to females in the slightest, and i was attracted to males.

    Did you try to be with the opposite sex and how did it make you feel?

    yeah i did, it was weird, felt wrong and something i definitely wouldn't recommend.

    Do your family know you're out? Do they mind?

    Yeah they do now, not in the slightest, in a way it adds diversity to the family haha, they didn't care but they weren't all cliché like 'We support you with love and devotion' they we just sort of chatted about it and laughed about it then they were like don't worry about anything after and it was fine!

    How did you 'come out'?

    friends wise? told my closest friends, then gradually everyone found out, few annoying questions and a bit of settling in but all my friends were fine, all my male mates still stay at my house and stuff and feel totally comfortable.

    Did you get picked on at school?

    Not in the slightest.

    Are you camp?

    My voice isn't camp at all, or the way i act, i like a mixture of things that are really masculine and may be considered camp, i do have good fasion and a cool hairstyle, and i'm loud etc, more Russell Brand camp than Gok Wan.

    Do gay people all cruise toilets?

    that's vile, of course not.

    Do people treat you as normal, ie do people talk about you, make comments, presume things?

    takes a while but people actually treated me better after a while, with my closest friends it was always like they knew subconsciously, i never talked about girls.

    Do you feel normal?

    normal? no, i never have, i'm very outgoing and i feel like i've never met anyone like me therefore i'm not 'normal' but i like it..

    Do you want to get married and have kids, and is that likely or possible?

    not even thought about it, of course it's possible.

    Can you hold hands in public?

    YES! OP, how old are you?!

    Do gaay people all like go clubbing every weekend?

    gay people aren't a race. what would you say if i went, do straight people play football every day and night?

    How do you know if you are 'bottom' or 'top'?

    i don't know really, i just knew i was a bottom.

    Does sex hurt?

    not for a top apparently, and for a bottom it will always hurt first time but only as much as regular sex would if you prepare for it properly.

    Do you tell everyone you are what you are?

    not using that line, but if people ask yeah, and i do always make comments like 'Hes fit!' etc LOL.

    Do you go to gaay pride?

    i want to go next year!

    Are you happy?

    yeah i am, i'm never unhappy because of my sexuality anyway, if i am it's because of other things.

    Would you want to be straight?

    No.

    I never really had any real partners at all... lol
    Do your family know, do they mind?
    Yes they know, no they don't mind really.
    How did you 'come out'?
    To my Mum: She asked if I was gay. I said yes.
    To my Dad: I wrote him a note and then went out :o he knew anyway apparently.
    To my friends: Just told them I think. Can't really remember.
    Others: Went public with my relationship status on Facebook.

    No, not really.
    Are you camp?
    Nope.

    No.

    People just come together.
    Do gay people all cruise toilets?
    No, that's gross. I leave that to George Michael.
