So I am definitely non staight (leaning more gay recently) and I struggle to identify with the gay community as a whole. As hypocritical as it seems I am politically conservative (lbgt rights supporter though) and just a "country good ole boy" that happens to like men. Am I just not trying enough? I'm very reserved and pda and being super open about sex in general makes me uncomfortable as I was raised as an old fashioned conservative. Am I just over analyzing things?
I don't disagree with anything you said, even the whole "conservative on PDA" if it also applies to straight couples. Lord knows they're the most prone to be sexual in public :lol:. People raised certain ways do tend to carry baggage and it can shape their views. It's ok, so long as it's not self-hate one has.
Just because someone is gay doesn't really mean they want to have sex 24/7. Also, not every gay couple is going to be performing PDA.
I never intended to insinuate that they did. Just meant to state that being open about sexuality period is difficult. Which makes being a part of a community where being open is more of the norm is awkward for me.
Ask yourself this: Am I more concerned about what others perceive of me identifying with the LGBT community or am I more concerned with finding a sense of belonging in the LGBT community?
