What is the MOST difficult issue about being gay?

Question

I have never known a gay person that I know have but I have more than likely know many, I was wondering what the most difficult issue is for gay people.

I would imagine it would be things like:

1. Family
2. Friends
3. Religious issues
4. Dealing with the public etc

Thanks, I realized that I don't really know that much about being gay, I am a man and prefer women but of course I am totally addicted to learning about anything or anyone.



oh, and for extra credit...what is the one thing you wish heterosexuals could get about people who are gay, maybe something that is a common misunderstanding that we are all guity of from time to time.


thanks for any answers I may get

Answer 1

it's different for every gay person, because it depends on your situation. out of the 4 you listed my biggest difficulty was family as it's the only one of them up there that you can't choose, you HAVE to deal with your family.



the extra credit bit.....

nearly everyone is going to say the same thing i think... it would be nice if all heterosexual people understood that being gay is NOT a choice, it's just part of who you are, and is decided in the whom before you are born. it's part of your genes



EDIT: 'Bride of Squidward' is never going to satisfy ANY man with that attitude!!! lol

Answer 2

I'm a straight woman, and I honestly don't know which would be the most difficult issue. But, I would like to express the hope that those who hate will someday learn that we are all humans, we are all equals, and should be loved, respected, and treated equally. I find it extremely unfair that a man and a woman should be allowed to marry, while those with same-sex partners are denied the same privilege. Not to mention the sneers and rude comments directed at gays and lesbians, even in my high school. It disgusts me. Everyone deserves and chance and everyone deserves respect.

Answer 3

well, one of the most difficult parts is actually telling people that you're gay. then i think the other hard part is dealing with society when they find out you are gay. unfortunately, there are some places that look down on you when you are hanging out with your significant other in public places.

but one thing that all heterosexuals should know is that being gay is just another normal part of a person's life. just like your skin color, your race, your hair color. you're born that way and although you can find ways to alter it, you can't ever change it.

Answer 4

Well its different for everyone. Everyone has their own problems/issues with being gay.

I'd say mine is probably not being accepted as who I am from my parents....



And One thing I wish that heterosexuals could get about being gay is the fact that it is NOT a choice. That its not like we choose to be gay. Its commonly mistaken & I don't know why, but it needs to stop.

Answer 5

For me, it's family. They are extermely unaccepting of gay people.



And I wish that heteros would "get" that love is love. No matter between what genders.

Answer 6

Apparently all the above. If you tell you loved ones that you are gay or bisexual your whole life would suddenly change.

Answer 7

One of my close friends is bi and the toughest thing for him is his family.

He doesnt wanna hear from the person that give bith to him that they dont love him because of what he is.

Answer 8

Finding yourself.

Answer 9

You should focus your studies on grammar

Answer 10

I don't get the part about putting things in your butte orifice and thinking it's pleasurable and not stinky.
