What kind of action??:sneaky:

:uhoh:

 

 

 

Depends on your sexual orientation, of course... :sneaky:

Good idea.

I came out to my friends at 20 and my family at 21. I knew I was gay LONG before but had alot of issues to deal with. After I first came out, it was a little weird but I've had nothing but positivity since then. All of my friends and family absolutely accept me for who I am and it feels amazing. To let go of the "weight" of not being your "true" self in public and with those you love is an incredible feeling. Coming out is an essential step for gay people. If more people came out then society would realize just how many of us there really are.

 

I am not personally attacking you, but there is one part in that statement that I want to ask about.

 

When you say a gay person coming out is being their "true" self, why do many males lisp and talk like women? I respect gays who come out, because I'm sure it's not easy. It is a bit annoying though, because they are not really being their true self (in most cases). Maybe that is a very small percentage of gay males who lisp, so I do not wish to offend anyone by implying all gay males do that. Perhaps it's just easier to lisp than leave one's sexuality a mystery when meeting new people or in another setting.

 

Maybe some of you can share experiences with me that have led you to start lisping and help me not be so critical of those who do.

:dozey:

That so gay!:cowboy::indianchief::builder::policeman:

lmfao, please everyone! Share your stories of learning to lisp! Come on!

 

:confused:

 

I don't think that's a conscious thing... My gay friend doesn't lisp at all, no one knows (except for myself and a couple other friends) that he's gay. I don't think he'd lisp even if it were easier than explaining. It's just not HIM.

 

On the other hand, I have another male friend who I think may be gay, who DOES speak with a lisp. He has not, however, come out to me. He just talks like that, that's all. It's not a show, it's just his personality!

I don't have gay friends (at least I tink)... but I'd really love to!!! I think it's quite interesting...

They're not different than anyone else... I was friends with Sean before he ever came out to me, for a REALLY long time. It changed nothing. If anything, it just made us closer. I don't think of him as gay, I think to define someone by one thing is sort of an insult to the person ;)

I totally agree with you... I meant interesting the fact of sharing their point of view of things and feelings... and the society behaviour towards them...

Ah, I understand you now! Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you meant ;)

 

It is very interesting, and sad. I just think it's aweful how much our society cares about people's sexuality. It's pretty idiotic and cruel.
