    This is such a complex question. I am 25 years old, I realized I was attracted to a woman when I was 22. Up until then, I had led a hetero-sexual life. I was dating a man for almost 2 years before I broke it off. It...read more

    The question, "Who are the true gays and lesbians?" implies that somewhere there is a manifesto or code or set of rules. The closest I as a gay person have ever come to any such thing, is jokes and playing with stereotype...read more
