I Am Gay, Am I Normal?

Feeling low? Confused? Puzzled? Frustrated? And the root cause behind all these ill feelings is just one thing…you have realized that you feel attracted towards the members of same-sex and YOU ARE GAY!!!… Come on, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s a well-acknowledged fact that all you gay guys are absolutely normal. You do not choose your sexual orientations; they are mostly determined at the time of birth. The role that biological factors play in this regard can never be ignored. There may be other significant factors too, but still nobody is sure about them. Generally, sexual orientation of a person is established well before he/she reaches puberty.

You must be worrying a lot regarding your sexual preference, but believe me, there’s nothing to get upset about. Homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality is. Getting attracted towards the members of the same-sex is quite natural. Never ever start thinking that you have got a disease and you are going to cure it with the help of medical treatments and therapies!!! Try to come in terms with your sexuality and be comfortable with it. Keep yourself away from pretending as a straight person. It won’t take you anywhere. You will remain as you are. One can never be forced to become straight or the other way round. Stay happy, be gay and search for a perfect partner. Please remain true to your nature, keep your cool and focus on developing your relationship with the person who can satisfy you sexually and support you emotionally. Don’t try to act too smart and marry someone for the heck of it.

You are the best person to judge your true sexual callings; and let not others interfere in your business. It’s your life and you are the only person to decide how you want to live it and with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. During our teenaged days, most of us must have had same-sex experiences. But, only having homosexual encounters or experimenting with people from the same sex doesn’t make a person gay. Once your mere curiosity turns into a habit and you start enjoying every bit of your gay escapades, you can be sure that you are gay. Now it’s up to you whether you want to remain in closet for long or come out in open. It’s always better to breathe the fresh air of honesty than to lead a repressed life.

It has been years since psychiatrists have removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. So, there’s no reason of feeling bad about one’s own self. You are required to do lots of introspection before you come to conclusion regarding your sexuality. Once you ask yourself ‘Am I gay’ and your heart answers back ‘YES’, then it’s absolutely fine! Here, the issue is with whom do you REALLY WANT TO have sex with, not whom you HAVE TO make love. Hiding your sexuality for too long can take a toll on you.

Being gay can never make you any less of a person. In the fields of arts and literature, in the world of entertainment, in the sports arena – gay people are everywhere. Just because you don’t know any gay person personally should not make you feel isolated. ‘People who were sexually abused at a young age and have dysfunctional families grow up to become gay’ this is one of the greatest myths that surround gay people. Being gay has nothing to do with all these things. So, the time has come to get over with all your self-denials and start your life afresh.

Don’t get afraid of the society. There are loads are people who will definitely identify with your situation. Then, there are sensible people too, who regardless of their sexual orientation, always stood by gay people. If some close members of your family are taking too long to accept you as you are, then take him/her to the psychiatrists or counselors who will teach them a lesson on how normal being gay is. The gay support organizations can also be of tremendous assistance. They can give a ‘brainwash’ to your insensitive relatives who are hell-bent to prove that you are doing a sin by getting into gay relations.

Don’t keep your natural urges confined for long. Let them flow through their normal course. Stop getting depressed mulling over that something has gone awfully wrong in you. Instead, concentrate on your future and try to build a proper relationship with honesty and sincerity. Approximately 10% of the global population has same sex preference. The community may be a marginalized section of the society, but its doesn’t mean that there’s anything abnormal with them, just like there’s nothing wrong with the left-handed population.

When you discuss about the issue with your friends and colleagues, there are chances that a few of them may even admit their homosexual inclinations. All these things will certainly make you realize that you are not the only person in this world who is gay. There are hordes of other people who are constantly fighting with their own self and trying to come out. Just browse through the Internet and you may stumble upon a person whose feelings and experiences are much like yours. As most persons remain anonymous while chatting in the net, they feel free to reveal their true emotions. Meeting more and more like-minded people can surely help you to become more at ease with yourself and eventually, rejuvenate your spirit. Who knows, you may strike the right chord with any of them and ask him out for a date instantly.

Hope, all your apprehensions are over at last and now, you are dying for a passionate affair with the man you have dreamt for so long…so, wishing you a very happy and GAY life!
