Gay or not

[Axoliien]

My friend has just come back on college break and has been hitting on some of our female friends. The problem is that in HS he came out saying he was gay, and now he says it was just a thing he went through. He says it is something he wanted to overcome. I tried to tell him that he should be himself, and he says he is being himself. I want to know what you think, can someone who came out in HS go straight in college?

 

[BobDaMenkey]

I think so.

There's always room and time to rediscover yourself.

 

[LeiZaK]

People can and do change...

All that means is he is not gay, he is bi-sexual.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Well maybe he wasn't really gay to begin with?

Or maybe he's bi?

Or maybe he's repressing himself?

Too many possibilities, and frankly, it doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever, so . . ..

 

[OmahaTaz]

Sure, Why not? Maybe he's just confused and doesn't really know what he is or isn't.
Time will tell . . .

 

[Legend]

Either bi or lieing.

You act like you're gay to get females, stupid.

 

[Encryptic]

- Confused about his sexuality

- Bisexual

- Acting gay to pick up chicks (how this works is beyond me, but I'll leave that one to someone else to figure out)

Take your pick.

Or possibly an attention whore

this is probably gonna come out wrong... so, i apologise in advance.

There are so many ppl in today's educational system and governmental office that are trying to send a clear message to all young ppl that it is ok to be who are you and be accepted for who/what you are... that i think it has lead to an environment of experimentation for many kids. there are many kids who will try stuff just to try it. Those with no gay tendencies will experiment just to say they have tried it. Some grow out of it, some are truly gay.

at least that is the trend i am seeing. (not that gay is a trend, but experimenting is)

As for your friend... whatever he wants to do. As long as he practices safe sex.. he is a grown up.

Someone I know who went to an all-women's college said they had a descriptive term for certain girls, L.U.G.

















Lesbian Until Graduation.

So it is possible, I guess.

Take your pick.

Chicks want what they can't have, and are more inclined to drop their defenses if they think you're gay, because you won't hit on them.

General observations. I haven't tried this new level of subterfuge yet.

 

[FoBoT]

why would you try and tell him to be a certain way?

Plus they see a challenge in "converting" you.

Your boyfriend will come back around OP, just give it some time.

I don't see how it can change. I mean isn't it something chemical? Either a certain sex makes you stand at attention or they don't. Something chemical would have to be affecting that, no?

I guess it goes back to the age old question of whether you're born gay or not.

 

[pontifex]

i don't think you're born straight or gay or bi or whatever. so i would say its possible to change.

what does the Linux User Group have to do with any of this? That would be nerds not gays.

Neither argument is necessarily incorrect. It could be that only some gays are born gay, or whatever... it is certainly possible to chose your sexual orientation... it just escapes me as to why one would do so.

 

[Corporate Thug]

hard to know without knowing the guy

 

[Bozono]

If he threw a pitch to another Dude and the equipment was functional, he's Ghey. If he's bi, he's Ghey.

How is it possible to choose? I don't get this. You can't make yourself feel aroused or not feel aroused by a certain individual. You just think, or see, and your body reacts accordingly. How can you change that?

Doesn't much matter. Whether gay or straight you can't escape yourself.
