Any Gay Players?

I don't consider myself gay, even though I AM attracted to guys, I just don't want to label myself anything besides human. I know it may seem silly, but that's the way I want to live. I don't know my future, but I know it's possible for me to fall in love with someone regardless of their gender.

(Don't let the A in my name fool you, I'm a guy.)

well, I'm not gay, but I am trans. I tend to not mention that though, especially because the fact that internally I feel like a girl tends to become a jumping off point for "There are no girls on the internet" shout outs, accusing me of trying to get free stuff, etc. tons of things that are better off just not being dealt with.

You have my sympathy. The world is not always a kind or even understanding place.

Those with any background in ethnology will tell you that there ARE cultures where it is considered quite normal for the males to adopt the majority of the female roles and rituals, including the use of cosmetics etc., and where inheritance is through the female line.

It's a shame you have such a dark view of the world and i hope you are only referring to your certain circumstances. I think you are right the majority of the people in the world CAN be scared, immoral and quick to judge people/things they don't understand. However I have seen many wonderful instances of the world being a kind and understanding place.

I was hiking in the Himalayas and came down with bad altitude sickness and frost bite. I ended up next to an Israeli woman who had been left by our party and we pretty much accepted our fate. Yes melodramatic story alert...my point being that two guys showed up and basically dragged/carried us over the pass even though they were putting themselves at risk of dying by doing so for no reward...they simply left us to heal up on the other side and never said a word to us once we thanked them. So yeah that's an extreme example but people can be kind and understanding for no reason.

If you want something closer to home one of my best friends is gay and had a hard time coming out. We all knew he was gay from a young age but we never spoke much about it because we knew it made him uncomfortable. We were also all on a rugby team at the time which i guess could be considered a "macho" sport dominated by men who don't like the LGBT community. When he came out he was clearly terrified of what the guys would think and we universally accepted him, it just didn't bother us.

Don't be so quick to write off the world.... you are right trust can kill you or set you free but would you rather people shackled by anonymity your whole life or take the chance of actually making a difference to yourself if no one else?
