My thoughts on gay behavior (deep stuff)

Sexuality fascinates me, especially how it affects one's personality. After coming to terms with my own sexuality I did some research and found that I had always had many of the personality traits associated with bisexuals. I recently pondered if stereotypical gay male behavior was actually a part of being gay.

After some thought I decided that the majority of gay behavior is learned, just like masculine or feminine behavior. Some act that way because they want to make sure everyone sees their "gay pride", and others act that way because they learn it's what expected of them. Little girls are taught that females like certain things: Barbie dolls, princesses, tea parties, the color pink, etc. Little boys are taught that males like certain things: G.I. Joe action figures, superheroes, sports, the color blue, etc. They don't have to be told this, they just take after the other boys and girls. If someone learns they are gay, they may begin acting gay because it's what they unconsciously see in the mirror. It's depressing, really.

I can only assume I didn't suffer from this effect because there isn't really a stereotypical image of a bisexual male.

What do you think?

-Racob has spoken

I have two male friends who are gay (not with each other). They don't show gay behaviour.

..... I ain't got no idea b'cause you not saying nothing!

Pansexuality is the way of the future!

@scorpion2501: Jack Harkness FTW!

Seriously though, point of clarification. What exactly are you asking?

@The_Deathstroker: What are your thoughts on where "gay" behavior comes from?

Some words when you learn them there's just no stopping the word from coming out..

What do you mean "where it comes from" O.o... It comes from a free will and choice.. I guess.

People act like they want to.

I wasn't taught to like things that men like. I'm sure some were, but men like those things for a reason. Testosterone or something like that.

I have a bad feeling this thread will get outta hand at some point.. Lol

Very deep stuff indeed.

I have a bisexual male associate who is incredibly flamboyant.

I think that homosexual behavior develops from the environment a person grew up in. It comes from experiences IMO.

1. Homosexual experience:

• any homosexual experience in childhood, especially if it is a first sexual experience or with an adult
• any homosexual contact with an adult, particularly with a relative or authority figure (in a random survey, 5% of adult homosexuals vs 0.8% of heterosexuals reported childhood sexual involvements with elementary or secondary school teachers.

2. Family abnormality, including the following:

• a dominant, possessive, or rejecting mother
• an absent, distant, or rejecting father
• a parent with homosexual proclivities, particularly one who molests a child of the same sex
• a sibling with homosexual tendencies, particularly one who molests a brother or sister
• the lack of a religious home environment
• divorce, which often leads to sexual problems for both the children and the adults
• parents who model unconventional sex roles
• condoning homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle– welcoming homosexuals (e.g., co-workers, friends) into the family circle

3. Unusual sexual experience, particularly in early childhood:

• precocious or excessive masturbation
• exposure to pornography in childhood
• depersonalized sex (e.g., group sex, sex with animals)
• or girls, sexual interaction with adult males

I especially think that it has something to do with the parents. Having distant fathers or mothers can affect people in very strange ways.

Bump.

Know a few gay folks, but I don't really associate with them. Not because they're gay, though.

If one of my good friends came out of the closet, I would be cool with it I reckon.

@darthaznable: I think I found a picture of him.

#AMICLOSE?

The title had gay and deep stuff. There's a joke in there... *immaturity*

The future isn't written. I see no reason to believe that. We may move towards it, but nowhere near completely, I believe.

You know what's the future?....humping whoever you want based on your sexual preferences....OH WAIT THAT'S NOW!!!!!..........

If you don't care about being ridiculed, shunned, or suffering legal consequences, sure.

But, but they said no, so I cants. :(

I'm not sure what you mean,but i clarify,i didnt mean in public, and i didn't mean literally whoever.....date him,or approach him/her nicely.....like a human being.

Surroundings implement in some cases

Idk some people just start liking a guy after many years of being with women so hell if I know

Not really any such thing as "gay behavior". Some gays display stereotypical traits assumed of them, but it's not at all indicative of being gay.

@racob7: I see where you're coming from with this. It's kind of an interesting question but I'm not sure I can give an answer for it. While I do think that people are pre-determined to be gay (this seems obvious -- seem people "come off gay" whether they know it or not, and inevitably end up being so), not all gays share those traits. So, in my opinion, I'd say that the behavior you speak of does not, in fact, come naturally, but is either learned or affected.
