Being a girl myself, or woman.. whatever you want to call me... I do feel more comfortable around gay men than straight men because I do not like being checked out, or flirted with, if it isn't my boyfriend who's doing it. I do have a couple of guy friends who are bisexual and not open about it and I never worried about them coming onto me because they were more curious than anything at their young ages and more interested in exploring relationships with other guys than girls. They were pretty straightforward when they told me, and I never would have thought of them as being gay. I was thinking to myself "That's why they haven't come onto me or indicated anything like that..."

I'm pretty grateful that they came to me. They are both very insecure about their sexuality and neither act like the stereotypical gay that everyone seems to think of. That's why I never would have thought they were gay, or bisexual. It's all a matter of acceptance and security about yourself. In some places it is safe to come out, but since it is generally not accepted in the United States, there aren't many areas where the majority approve of it, which I think is bullshit.
