I Wish I Were Gay

Improvements, complaints, advice—stuff that would be helpful for me or other users. I'll be checking these, so if you want me to improve the subreddit, these will be your friend. Your comment may explain how the wish comes to be, but make sure to add the negative outcome as well.

If the post is flaired with "Explanations," you don't necessarily have to provide negative outcomes—those are mainly for prose-based answers. Try and be creative. Your comments shouldn't be adding random side-effects to the wish.

For example, if someone wishes for world peace, don't comment something like "the entire ant population dies out," because that's not related or connected at all. However, if the post is flaired with "Side-Effects" feel free to go crazy with hilarious side-effects. I wish I were gay self. Being gay is an older saying of being carefree.

We ended up at a strip club and they wouldn't leave me alone asking what I thought or if I was turned on by the ladies. God I'm telling you now, I wish I was. At least then I could just be the same as everyone else and not have to put up with all the constant questions and innuendo. Sorry to hear you are feeling down. I do know the feeling of wanting to be normal.

I'm not gay so I cant honestly say I understand everything you are feeling. I can give you some perspective from the other side of the fence however. I grew up in a military environment. For many years homosexuals were banned from joining the Defence Force in this country. There was actually a lot of homophobia around. I had never met a gay person but to be honest I did not really know what all the fuss was about. When i left the Army, I moved interstate and started working for a private company. I had been there for 6 months when a gay guy started working in our office. I didn't care one bit but there were a lot of ex defence people working there and it was a rough part of town with a lot of big burly tattooed workers.

I did wonder how a gay guy would get on working in such an environment. There few snickers and whispers around the place. I did not have to wonder for long however. He was a very nice man. He was a hard worker and had a great sense of humor. Within a month he had removed all the gay stigma just with his attitude and outlook on life. In the end all the men in the office pushed for him to be employed full time and he was invited to the local pub to drink with the boys.

Even the big burly tattooed ones. At the pub the guys always joked with him about his sexuality but the jokes were in jest and he took them as good fun. If any of the other pub patrons decided to pick on him there would always be big tough men who would jump to his defense. I am sure he would have got sick of hearing the same jokes over and over again but he seemed to be OK with jokes and the guys treated him as a genuine friend. I left the company a short time after but kept in touch with all of them including my new gay friend. One day I learned that he had been rushed to hospital.

He had terminal cancer and only lasted for a few weeks after being admitted. I was so devastated. He was so young and such a nice guy who did not deserve to be taken so early. At the funeral I have never seen so many grown men cry. This man had touched all of them. This is a sad story in some way but your post kind of reminds me of this guy.

You say you don't have any gay friends. This means you have a group of heterosexual mates who have accepted you for who you are and the lifestyle you have chosen. I know many so straight men who have very few friends and are miserable.

I don't know your friends but I am guessing that their jokes and innuendo are not meant to be nasty. Its probably their way of trying to include you and they may not even realize that it sometimes gets you down. You say you just want to be normal. I suppose it depends on your definition of normal. You have a partner and friends. Your life sounds pretty normal to me. Being normal has nothing to do with who you are attracted to but how you live your life. I know straight people trapped in miserable marriages who cant stand the sight of each other.

I know straight friends who have been looking for the right partner for years without success. I know straight men and women who have no friends at all and who hate their lives.

I have an anxiety disorder and there are some days when i fight just to get out of bed. Then I have a look at the world and realize that there are a lot of people doing it a lot worse than me. Don't feel bad about being gay. I know there is still a bit of stigma in certain parts of the community but it is getting better.

James Franco: "I Wish I Was Gay"

You are who you are. Try not to be too hard on your friends. If there jokes are getting you down, let them know. I don't know you but you sound pretty normal to me: Welcome to the forums. I note in another post that you are also living with a combination of agoraphobia, anxiety and bipolar disorder, as well as occasional suicidal thoughts so I wanted to acknowledge the difficulty of managing that first and congratulate you on keeping things together. It sounds as though your friends, while well-meaning, sometimes treat you as 'the gay one' in the group, and as Mbuna says they may not realise they are doing this.

But ignorance can be just as offensive and alienating as outright prejudice; we can't flick a switch to change who we are. Depending on where you live, there are lots of different options available, from sports teams through to walking groups and groups that meet up to go out to the movies or have lunch. There are also the social networking apps for gay men that can be used to find friends in your local area, they aren't just for guys looking for a relationship or to hook up. As a gay man I have been to a strip club once, also at a mate's bucks party.

I have never been to one since - why would I? Thanks for the advise guys. I know that my friends aren't trying to be malicious in any way regarding my sexuality. I guess it's just all in my head.

MODERATORS

It's just that my sexuality comes up so much in conversation it feels like they think it's all I have to contribute. I have thought about joining social groups in the gay community, there's even one here for people suffering from mental illness. Only problem is I have a partner that is a little, insecure and can be a little jealous as well as he can be a little socially awkward so he doesn't enjoy social gatherings at all.

He too has bipolar which has made our relationship tense quite a few times in the past and I'm sure will again in the future. We do however have a great relationship and can discuss things quite open and honestly.
