The down low?!?

[keco52]

Ok...This is gonna be a weird thread but...

I was browsing myspace last night and I stumbled onto a gay mans page...so I just click one of his friends and keep going...click one of the next persons friends...I d.k. I was bored.

Then all of a sudden every single page is a sexy (when I say sexy I mean gorgeous) latin men...and they were alllllll gay. This upset me very much I've heard about "The down low" before. It's where men (usually men that have been to prison) have a g.f. but have sex with men on the side. The pages that I browsed were as young as 16. But anyway....to my question...

What are your feelings on homosexuality? I'm not against it at all but do you think it could have something to do with your environment? Do you think your born that way? I never really thought about it until now...

And I guess I kind of stereotyped them...Like I couldn't be attracted to a gay man....but omg If you could have seen these guys...not feminine AT ALL. Ok...you can tell I was upset about it...but what are your feelings?

i have nothing against them. i actually want a gay friend but i havent found one yet :sad:

but seriously they are cool people. and some of them dont even look homosexual even tho i usually recognize homo from hetero. dont ask me how 6th sense i guess. but as long as they dont make out in front of me i'm fine with them.

but i know a lot of people who are homophobes. but not homophobes against lesbians, but against male homos. i guess 2 girls making out is sexy while 2 guys its gross.

what a waste of sexy man because they are homo tho :sad:

i have a gay friend, i love it
i have nothing against gays, they can live their lives how they want, theyre not hurting anybody and theyre fun too!
but sometimes i get worried that a bunch of homophobes will beat him up bcuz he has a gay personality, speech and all that, like u could tell if u met him and i dont want anyone to hurt him :sad:

oh yeah and in answer to the question, i think its all part of ur chemical makeup bcuz u cant turn someone straight by changing their environment and noone chooses to be straight or gay. ppl choose to act on their sexuality but not who they are attracted to and fall inlove with

i've known some gay men. they are so funny! i was very close to one at one point, he gave me great advice, relationship, makeup, fashion...like a girls best friend!
i have nothing at all against them.
it's a debated issue as to weather people are born gay or not. personally i don't think it's natural for 2 men or 2 women to be together mainly because their bodies arn't designed for it. i don't know though, im not really sure on this aspect of it.

Actually it was allllll latin guys from east l.a. verrry masculine...bald :hungry: I mean it was like a trend...

I don't have anything against ppl being gay or lesbian...I was just curious as to what makes a person gay I guess...kinda like certain places have more gay ppl than others...? I d.k. it confuses me but I deff don't have anything against it.

 

[lii]

i dont think theres more gay ppl born in any place naturally, maybe a lot of gay ppl will congregate in a certain place bcuz its a gay city tho. think about ur own sexuality. do u think there was anything that happened around u that caused u to be straight? (or gay or bi whatever u are ) or did it just kinda happen, u were attracted to boys and u couldnt help it!

 

[_carmi]

i think it happens. ur born gay ur born bi or ur born hetero. u can be raised as an hetero and turn out homo.

 

[Kaos88]

yeh i agree wit u _carmi. i think you can be brought up any way but u'll always become what ur meant to be...i know someone who was brought up in a totally non-gay environment n this guys dad was like really homophobic but he turned out to be gay...so yeh it dont matter how or where u grow up ur always gonna be what ur meant to be...but i dunno what makes some people gay over other people gess its just the way things are!!

i don't have a problem with gays, then again i am a lil biased bc i'm bi. i think ppl are born that way bc ever since i was little i was attracted to men and women, i just didn't admit it until about 2.5yrs ago. i was a little bit ashamed but now everyone i know knows and the accept me for me! it's a great feeling to finally be able to be yourself with no worries......except that my family doesn't know yet

My gay friend was my best friend until he moved away, he was sweet, sensitive, caring, and hella funny without all the petty jealousies that sometimes come along with female friendships.

I don't have a problem with homosexuality at all, hell, life is short, everyone is just looking for their slice of happiness before it's done, who am I to judge the kind of pie one person prefers over another. Happiness is to hard to come by and keep, i'm not going to tell someone who they can and can't be happy with. Love knows no boundaries.

^^^ I agree :thumb:

I guess being single, being cheated on, and being in a car accident all in 3 months time makes one a bit poetic

I think you're born that way, since I can remember I've had feeling for girls as well as guys, but I think it's also a matter of occurences. My half brother is gay, not because he chose to be, he was raped at a young age by a close family friend, then after a while I guess he liked it, I'm not sure, but he went gay and eventually prostituted himself. Anyways I dont know him but I've been told about it. But yea I guess its various things that make you this way. I love gay men though, its sad that most of them are so fine, but they make some good gossip buddies haha.

What are your feelings on homosexuality? I'm not against it at all but do you think it could have something to do with your environment? Do you think your born that way? I never really thought about it until now...

I dont think people are 'born that way' in the sense that it's programmed in or anything. Equally though, it's not like children can be raised to 'be gay.' Rather I think it's purely individual, related to one's unique personality and their way of interpreting well, life ... I guess or at least the environment around them. I doubt there will ever be a scientific or social explanation for it. Homosexuality just is. To use a crap example, it's like why dont I like ice cream - I wasnt born that way, I wasnt socially nurtured into disliking it... I just dont. But that's unique to the way I've interpreted it as an individual.

In any case, I'm at ease with homosexuality. I've known homosexuals and they dont really stand out in my mind as being any different to the thousands of other people I've known. The bigger problem is homophobia, I have no time for that - it quite simply pisses me off.

I agree with Amara. I think it's just about preferance really.

I have a friend who is gay. I didn't know until people told me, but it made sense. He has a lot of female friends and he just never even looked at them like a normal guy around females does lol.

I was thinking just now, that you know when you see a woman and then when you actually get close or hear her speak its actually a guy or visa-versa? Well maybe thats what its like with gay people, they're physically different so that they are attracted to both or the same sex? I dont know just a random thought.. But my ultimate thought on it is that it depends on the individual, like my brother is gay he is only slightly younger than my other two brothers who are both straight. Brought up the same way as the rest of us yet he is bi. Like Amara said its just like food preferances.
I think the reason some places have more gay people than others is because those towns/cities might be more relaxed and not as homophobic, like it may be easier to come out in San Francisco than lets say Jamaica where your more than likely going to be killed for being gay.
