Okay so you are wondering what its
like being gay. Being gay is no different than being straight. I could end
there but then this would be a short article.
I get up in the morning, get my coffee
and eat breakfast. So far its pretty much the same. Then I get ready for work.
I put on the same kind of clothes as a straight person. I go to work and mix
with straight people who most of whom has no idea I am even gay. I talk and
have conversation about life like anyone would. Still pretty much the same as
a straight person. Then I go home and watch television, check my emails,
listen to music and talk to my friends online. So far its pretty safe to say
that its not much different.
But wait, there is a slight difference. I
am a guy who loves other guys. Yes I love other boyz. I do not wish to express
my love with a person of the opposite sex. Why, because I have never in my
entire life have felt the deep attaction to anyone of the opposite gender.
Sure I have dated girls but that is what society teaches. Growing up watching
other guys in my school and having feeling inside that I wanted to explore was
so hard cause I never knew of anyone gay and had to surpress my feeelings for
a long time. After I left my home to move thousands of miles away and found my
way into the gay family it was then I was finally able to be myself and
express my affections for guys just like me.
Nothing makes my heart beat faster then
the love between two guys. And nothing makes me feel so happy then to see two
guys in love kissing. Thats because I was born gay, despite what people may
think. I wanna fall in love and be happy and wake up every morning with
someone just like the way the straight world views life.
Being gay can be challenging because even
though the straight world is slowing starting to accept the gay community,
there is still times when we get pushed aside. Living gay in a straight world
is not fun. It gives an impression that we are not normal, their idea of
normality is a man and women together. A marriage to the straight world is
husband and wife and most people think that a man & man or woman & woman don't
deserve to get married. Television commercials with family scenes usually
shows a man and women.
I am not unhuman and im not a pervert. I
am not sick and I don't need my brain checked. I don't need to be
rehabilitated and I don't need a counsellor. I am human just like anyone else
and I know what its like to fall in love with someone and I know whats it like
to have a desire to live my life with a companion by my side. I may not have
all the answers but I do know that tomorrow morning when I wake up I will
still be gay and the world could very well still be straight!

Okay there is a new trend and if you haven't heard a new
term has been floating around almost as much as that flamming queen you saw
last weekend at your local gay bar. The term 'Metrosexual' and no I don't mean
someone who is sexually active within a major city. If you spend alot of time
getting dressed up with the latest fashion, use 3 or more types of hair
products, spends time getting facials and your nails done then you could be
Metrosexual. But wait don't we all do that? Not exactly let me try and explain
the difference between Metrosexual and Homosexual.
Metrosexual is a straight male who is
in touch with his feminine side. But thats not all, there seems to be a flurry
of men who are now flooding nail shops, hairsalons, and even makeup stores.
Looking for the right type of haircare products, nice clothes and getting the
proper nail care. Let me add though, a Metrosexual man is very secure in his
sexuality. He is comfortable getting a facial or a pedicure and always looks
his best. The male population is changing across the world and now its getting
even harder to spot that cute guy who maybe your next date. Confused, hell
yeah! I am not saying there is anything wrong with guys taking care of
themselves, in fact I thinks its a real turn on that guys spend time trimming
and prepping. But there is a new breed of men out there that may look gay but
they are not.
Homosexual on the other hand has
always been concerned with their body image and how they look. Well 90% of us
anyway. We have always spent extra time in front of the mirror and trimming
body parts, some of us even shave our balls. Straight men do that too! We too
are in touch with our feminine side. We spend extra time with hair care
products, wear fashionable clothes and usually visit a salon on a regular
basis. So there really isn't any difference, except that a Metrosexual is
straight.
So who are some of those Metrosexuals
who has been confused as a Homosexual. Brad Pitt well most of us would like to
think he is a Homo but he is Metro. Ryan Seacrest claims he is Metro but that
is a tricky one, because we are still not sure yet. PDitty he is Metro. Ricky
Martin would also consider himself as Metro, once again though this one is
confusing. Clay Aiken for example last year when he was auditioned for
American Idol was cloned as a geek and then he went into the closet (the
clothes and hair closet that is) and come out as a new man. A Metrosexual
looking man!
So now we have a new world of Hetro
Metro Men and the job of spotting the Homo Men maybe a little more tricky. So
next time you spot that cute well dressed, over groomed and a little feminine
guy across a crowded room and you think of how much you may want to take him
to bed, just remember he maybe a Metro and not a Homosexual. Good luck!
