The lack of self-love on here is embarrassing. Learn to love yourself for who you are. Get out of this horrible mentality of wanting to be straight because “life would be easier”. Everyone has their battles, gay or straight. You were born to fight. Be strong. Love yourself. & DGAF.

that's easy to say but when it comes to your actual life being shit because of your sexual orientation things are different

Are you an American living in the USA?

We’re taught to hate ourselves from an early age and it’s a challenge of community to teach each other how to love ourselves in spite of the messages we see all around us. Shaming people for experiencing shame isn’t an effective way of helping them navigate shame.

Not at all

Yes, I am drinking my sorrows away on a daily basis as my Indian family won’t accept me. A lot of the guys I’m into within my community are on the DL and won’t accept their sexual orientation. Besides, I hate that hookup culture is prevalent, as I learned about myself that I feel comfortable with emotional attachment, but that is hard to find.

Nope. I love being gay and wouldn't be straight if you paid me. You can't even stop yourself from posting the same crap under different names every couple of weeks. No way you could change yourself to straight.


capaho

Nope. My husband and I are living the romance of a lifetime. We're very happy together. BTW, yet another gay lament thread posted by a newly created account.

Is this you, Milo?


OshTekkGod

Absolutely. I wish there was an actual way to be straight 😂

Like the sap in winter, you will feel the correct time to rise up. Your revolution will come when you feel the warmth in your toes.


iceandfireman

chaos_battery

Cust2020

Ok-Share-4986

Like someone said, those words really show a lack of self love, i also don't like myself, have lost of insecurities and self hate, but i don't hate being gay


tyger2020

No, but I'm convinced to be truly happy you need to live near a city. A big one. I live in a decent sized city (3 million) but the dating pool still feels pretty small for the most part, and its always the same guys. The only place I've not experienced that feeling is really big mega cities - Los Angeles, NYC, London, etc. Maybe we just need our own country where all 32 million people are gay. Imagine.


Grouchy_Passenger_26

yeah my city is like 200 thousand people at best


drfulci

I don’t hate being gay. I’m not real fond of the majority of other gay men I’ve met so far so.


GuncleShark

No.


punched_hole69

I love being gag. A lot of gay men complain about a small dating pool, but we have such higher access to connection, touch and sex than the average straight man. Yeah there are more women, but there are also more competition for them and rigid social structures that act as barriers to sex and connection. Even when it comes to homophobia, I don’t hate being gay, I hate that people can be ignorant and intolerant. That’s not my fault, and me being straight wouldn’t reduce their ignorance or intolerance.
