Would you still be you if you weren't queer?

Yes? I don't see why I wouldn't be the same.

 

I mean yes I would chose to be gay the question confused me I thought you meant would I still be me personality wise lol!

 

I'm bisexual, with a leaning towards women... so, yeah. As to my fight for minority rights - that doesn't come from being queer, rather that comes from being a very invisible still minority: adoptees. By "law" I can never know my parents, nor my family's medical history, I can never know if anyone in my family had a mental disorder and if so at what onset age did it begin, basically I can never know a single thing. So that's what fuels my fight for standing up for minority rights and bullshit laws lol. I was born into it.

 

I think I would definitely be a different person but that hasn't stopped me from wishing I wasn't gay. But it's definitely a big part of who I am and how I act, etc. I think it's just the accepting that that is the hardest part.

 

i am transgender, so how i answer it is if i was somehow in right body. like the body i have been born into, if i thunk like a girl 100%,well then i would have a different mind and personality. if i was born male bodied i would think similar to now being me, not somebody else, but my life experiences would be somewhat altered so it would affect personality. so either way if i were not Queer I would not be me, 100% as i am now.

 

No, I wouldn't be the same. Being gay isn't all that I am, but at the same time it is a very large part of my personality and influences how I see things in life. I love having a "gay" perspective. Had I been straight, I'd probably have a different view and outlook on life.

 

I would have all the hobbies I have now and without a doubt almost all the same core and important beliefs. I grew up being more quiet and reflective in person because I imitated my father. I grew up being interested in how things work and figuring that out with my hands because I had a brother who loved to take apart computers and games, and I imitated him. And so forth.

I'd still be me. When I think about my identity, my sexuality doesn't even come into the picture. I'm probably in the vast minority there.

 

I'd still be me more or less I think.

My sexuality isn't who I am, it's just a part of me. To me it's like asking, would I still be me if I didn't have my chocolate brown eyes but instead had blue? The answer would probably be yes, of course I'd still be me.

 

Deffinitely not. I've become so much more.. mellow, sort of. I don't know why, but it has really changed me. I'm no where near the same person I was a year ago before I started questioning. I'd still rather be straight, but I honestly kind of like myself better this way. Feels more like me.

 

Yes. I would still just go to class, then come home and and do homework/play video-games till time for class again.

 

No, I don't think that I would be the same person.

There was a lot of suffering and having to come to terms with my parents' beliefs not being right that went into my accepting myself. Without these experiences I don't see that I could have become the person that I am today. I think that I would have been a much shallower and less caring person were I not gay.

 

I didn't even realize I was attracted to women in the slightest til mid-high school, so most of my formative years were spent thinking I was straight. While it is a part of my current identity, it hasn't really shaped so much of my past that I think I would be any different if I were straight. I grew up in an extremely liberal, LGBT-loving family so I think I would be just as accepting of and interested in the community as I am now, even if I wasn't gay myself.

 

I guess not. Frankly, I don't even like who I am right now.

 

I could lie and say yes, but being gay has shaped me into the person I am today. If I were straight I'd have probably lived an easy and naive life, not fully understanding LGBT individuals at all. I'd probably be having a lot of crushes and going on dates (because it would be acceptable for me to do so) and living life as I wished.

Regardless of being gay or not, I would find something else to complain about! I'd be on another forum looking for advice on other matters most likely. I know I'd be a much less open-minded, free-spirited individual though.

 

Yes it's part of who I am

 

NO!

I have always been GAY, but because of society, family, and friends always talking about how EVIL, and DISGUSTING, and people like that ALWAYS go to HELL. I have always thought and believed I was some terrible MONSTER that should have been never been born.

So with that in mind I have always tried to be kind and generous and helpful to others, hoping against hope to just be able to sneak into HEAVEN, when I always knew I never could.

If I wasn't queer, I wouldn't be me.

nuff said

 

No, I wouldn't be. I feel like I would be a totally different person.

 

I definitely wouldn't be. Even though I've only known for less than a year, that year has changed me so much that it's almost hard for me to believe I'm the same person as before. And most of this change was an indirect result of me being queer. Had I been straight, the most emotionally challenging things wouldn't have happened.
