I'm Gay

"I'm Gay." Mel Gibson had to force the words out, and couldn't even look into the eyes of the pretty woman who was begging him to tell her the truth, or her truth- he didn't want her because he's gay.
This is why his sex was great, and he treated her so well- according to her.
She looked shocked, but relieved.
"Well how gay are you?"
"Oh," He paused, searching for an answer to fetch out of his sea of fibs. "I'm just about as gay as it gets!"

That was from What Women Want, if you haven't seen the movie...lol. It's a good movie, and I'm sure I looked homo sitting there and watching it- to the Earthlings.
I enjoyed the movie...and that particular part make me smirk, and it inspired me to write this entry.

"So many shots that I can't see straight
All these women around me cats still sayin he can't be straight
Give me ya girl and some platinum patron
When she come home you can ask her is me straight
She might smile alot but she won't speak much
Yawnin cause last night she ain't sleep much
She won't even talk about what we did
Just smile, close her eyes and say yes he issss..."
--Neyo

What is gay to you?

Years and years ago, when the Flinstones had new episodes every day, gay meant happy. You heard it in the theme song: "We'll have a gay old tiiiimmmmeeeeee!!!"

Somehow, as the years passed and many things changed- as they do, the word 'gay' took the place of the word homosexual...
In conclusion, gay has a new meaning. You can't walk up to your friend and say "Hey, let's get drunk and be gay!"
They'd look at you funny...

But now that the word has been explained, what makes a person gay? What makes a person a homosexual?

Usually, i mean in the past, homosexual meant a person who was attracted to the same sex, and engaged in sexual activities with the same sex...
Looking at the way a person acted could never really depict a person being gay, but since it's socially accepted nowadays, the media shows alot of gay- or those who seem to be gay- people.
So people take the traits of the 'gays' on television, and apply them to people in real life, and get it totally wrong...
What makes a person gay?
Is it not just being attracted to the same sex?
Or is it keeping yourself clean?
Is it dressing nice?
Is it hanging around females all the time?
Is it using the bathroom before you leave a venue?
Is it watching One Tree Hill?
Is it not loving to drink nasty things just to follow the crowd? Beer, and hard liquor, brown liquor- not drinking to get drunk, but sipping on something that tastes pleasant to give you a lil buzz?
Is it not trying to get into the pants of every woman you meet?
Is it being respectful?
Is it knowing how to treat a lady?
Is it wanting to go to the mall to shop?
Is it wearing a Peacoat?
Is it not playing sports?
Is it watching Sex in the City and laughing?
Is it giving your woman quality time instead of being with the boys all the time? (I'd rather be with a girl than a guy ANYTIME!)

Because if that's what it is, then by golly I must be one gay man! Shoot, I never knew- but the way I keep hearing over and over 'I thought you were gay when I met you', or 'if you didn't have a girl, I would have thought you were gay' makes me start to believe that I MUST be gay!
Believe it or not, the reasons above are reasons I've heard that marks a man 'gay'- plus dozens more. I find it so ignorant and close-minded that I can't help but laugh at the idiots.

so what about all the down low brothers who wear big clothes, and act masculine as hell? Playing football and wrestling, knowing that when they grabbed you there, it wasn't a mistake? Hmmmm? I know you've seen the Oprah special!

Never in my life have I been attracted to a male. No, it's just never been my thing. Ever. The only thing I may like about a guy is the clothes he wears. I'm attracted to freshness. Period.
Never in my life have I engaged in any sort of homosexual activity, or even thought about it. Never dreamed about it, never wondered how it would feel. It actually makes me sick to hear about it, or glance at it happening.
What? these internet pop-ups are sneaky, and I've been to The Love Shack. You know that back aisle of the DVDs? I stepped in there, and stepped out real quick. Big mistake.

I don't have a problem with gays. Not at all. The only people I hate and despise on this planet are the ignorant. Homosexuals can do as they please, as long as they don't bring it over to me. I actually have some gay friends. I don't judge. Just please don't step over that line with me...I love women.
My mother was a woman.
My sisters are women.
My exes are women.
I respect the woman...therefore I want the woman.
I don't even like to HANG with guys, what makes you think I'd wanna bang em?
Psssshhh. Please.

People say I'm in touch with my feminine side. What do you expect? I was raised by women- never had a father figure. Never had a dad to sit me down to watch a football game, never had a pop to take me outside to show me how to play. I have two sisters, a mother, an aunt, a grandmother- no two. What was I supposed to do? The dudes played suicide during recess, and I played power rangers with the girls. And?
I'm comfortable with my sexuality, so I can say what I want and do as I please- and not think I'm gay. Others may think so, but I don't. Men are so scared to open up and love, and I find it funny. Everybody is a human. Everybody has feelings. Being hard all the time is not sexy...at least not to the women I want.

Most of the people who read this will be college students. Embrace your college experience and open your eyes. Open your mind, expand your horizons. Get rid of this stupid high school mindframe...please. In high school you're trapped in a cage, and you see certain things and learn certain things. You are forced to believe what is shown, with no chance to find out things for yourself.
You're in college now. Find out.
Reboot yourself, and stop stereotyping everyone you see, because more times than not- you're WRONG. Keep your mouth closed, and let your eyes listen, because you need to be fully educated on people- besides the textbooks. Because when you go out in the real world...you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Plenty of people will look at the title of this, and just say 'I knew it!' without reading the first sentence.
Those are the ignorant.
If you reached the bottom of this post and read it all with an open mind, I thank you.

Peace & Blessings

Lu, i dig this. If everyone thought this way, relationships wouldn't be so hard. all these guys are afraid to treat women right because they are not in touch with their feminine side. i watched What Women Want about three days ago. I'm glad you were raised by women. I love that you respect them. Thats how I want all of my brothers to be... especially the youngest two. None of the six of us had a steady male figure in our life. mama's babies papa's maybes u know? so, of course i had to step up and i refuse to see my brothers grow up and treat women wrong. but honestly, i wish every guy played power rangers iinstead of suicide at recess and gave his woman his time instead of kickin it with the boys. i think the reason why people question you is because you are truly one in a million. guys are intimidated and women are skeptical, u know? you are something they are not used to. let me stop runnin on, lol, we know how u get Lmao! peace and love.
