If You Could Choose to Be Straight, Would You?

I like guys too much to want to be straight!

 

As I've said many times before: NO

I hate straight culture and want nothing to do with it; I'll take the oppression if it means I never have to deal with heteronormative crap in my relationships.

 

No. I prefer the idea of same-sex relationships.
The idea of heterosexual relationships seem 'wrong' to me in some way: I could imagine being attracted, or romantically involved with a guy, but it all seems only to make sense in a Hollywood romance sense: "and they lived happy ever after".
Once the idea of long term straight sex is involved: with the constant danger of pregnancy, or if not, then constant interference in the way my body works naturally through contraception, it just does not seem to be healthy and natural.
And there is the power imbalance, etc.
Gosh, no.
I never fitted in, or wanted to fit in, so maybe it is easier for me feel I prefer being gay because of this.

 

I think I would. The dating pool is just so much smaller this way. At any given time there are only a limited number of people who I could potentially date, and then there actually has to be some attraction and chemistry, so it's really hard. Not to mention there's still a stigma. It'd be nice if I could just ask someone out without having to test the waters and find out if they're homophobic first. If we lived in a world with lots of gay/bi people and no one was homophobic, though, I wouldn't care at all.

 

Probably.

 

Guys are way too amazing to give up. I can't imagine my life by not being gay...

 

I'd say no.

 

This might be weird but I think this post helped a little in me figuring out my orientation. At least for the moment.

 

Probably not? I'd say there's a sense of joy in being different than everyone else. There's pros and cons for being part of a majority and a minority.

 

not in a million years.. i actually am thankful i turned out the way i am.
i look back with all my straight friends who are in relationships and for the most part, they are all unhappy and constantly having problems with their significant other.

i like being independent, not having to give explanation where i am going, who i am with, and having another person make decisions for me (or wanting to make them for me). it's something that i could never want or deal with if i had a girlfriend.

these very few heterosexual relationship work long term,
for some reason, i just find same-sex relationships easier to deal with (relating to one another) and less stressful.

 

I like my potential to be attracted to anybody, so no, limiting it to just one gender, in my case, would be missing out.

If I were homosexual, it would be pondered over, but no idea what decision would be reached. I suppose it depends on a few factors, namely where I'm at in life at the time of this choice.

 

No, this is who I am. I want to be myself and I don't want to lose my unique queerness.

 

Effing. Never.

 

No. I'm not a fan of heteronormative culture. Maybe if I was born straight I would enjoy it more. One thing I would choose is to never have sexual confusion again.

 

Nope. Choosing to be straight would blind me to half the world's wonderful people.

 

I'd give a lot to not have to deal with how complicated LGBTQ+ dating can be, especially since the dating pool is so limited. It's frustrating in a lot of ways, and sometimes I wish I was straight so it would be a lot more straightforward. My identity has been really crucial in shaping who I am, however, and I have gained such a sense of empowerment and community from it. It's helped me realize my passion in life. That is something I could never trade away.

 

No, I wouldn't. Whatever my sexual orientation might be, I would still be the same person with a shitload of hang-ups, and I wouldn't be able to form connections with others.

 

No. Despite all of the bullshit that I have had to put up with, I wouldn't want to be straight. My experiences have made me the person I am. I do wish that I wasn't always fighting for acceptance all the time. I wish that I didn't have to worry about my friendships falling apart because of either my feelings or my friends. I don't like getting led on or people flirting with me when nothing can happen. I don't like the fear and disgusted looks I get sometimes. Even with all the problems I face, I wouldn't change.
