   Today it’s a fad, tomorrow it’s both a floor wax and a dessert topping.

   Uhh the reason people say that there proud to be gay is they get so much criticism for who they are and they love, but instead of being ashamed of it they embrace it and proud to be homosexual. Straight individuals dont go round say “im proud to be straight!’ because in society being straight is apparently normalality, and isnt questioned.

   And I see that you said its personal “choice” to be gay?, i think you have made a mistake on that one because i dont think we choose to be ridiculed and harassed because we like the same gender.

   Hmm, I understand what you’re saying, I get a little tired of mainly guys who think the world needs too know they are gay, and i’m totally fine with that, being lesbian myself.

   I think people feel a little more at ease now that there isn’t so much gay bashing etc, they have rights now, which they should of had from the start.

   Edit: I agree with the person above, being gay is not a choice, just like if you were straight you don’t suddenly decide to be gay.
   But to answer your question, it’s quite possible being gay might be turning into a fad, it seems that only religious people seem to care about gays, now that religion is going into decline things will probably change quite a bit.

   But my opinion is people feel more comfortable coming out knowing they are many others like them and they have a lot more rights, it’s possible that there are much bigger issues now and that people are starting to get over their homophobia

   I think there’s a lot of positive discrimination about at the moment. Whenever a movement has had to fight hard for its rights, it tends to exit the struggle with a kind of siege mentality.

   I’m not gay myself but my best friend is, and even she thinks that ideas like gay supermarkets and gay solicitors (both of which do exist) are a step in the wrong direction and symptoms of self ghettoising. The struggle should be for equality in society, not the right to lock yourself in a big gay box and keep the breeders out.

   But whether it has become a fad or not, no I don’t think so. I am very much certain that being gay or bi is decided in the womb and is beyond personal choice. However we do now have a society where men and women are much more free to explore their bi sides and it’s this that is perhaps being seen as the fad. Hopefully we’ll have got used to it after another generation. Sexuality should start to become an irrelevant issue in civilisation, not a deciding factor in what culture you’re herded into.

   My own personal view is that trying too hard to build a gay culture is in fact harmful to the movement as it’s reinforcing a separation. Pubs and clubs are one thing, but once you get to gay cycling clubs or gay churches and gay motorsports, I think we’re entering a cultural cul-de-sac that no good can come from.

   Being gay has been so tabu & so looked down upon, even punished by execution in some countries, that now that it is relatively “safe” to express love and affection for the same sex, people are coming out of the closet, & are celebrating the love they share for eachother…so many people twist being gay into some perverted sexual act, and think of gay people as some sexual deviants who go around raping straight folks…well as Ellen says we dont get a toaster for each straight person we convert!…Being gay first of all…is about being in LOVE with another person whom happens to be the same sex, watch the movie Lost & Delerious…you will understand…Gay is about everything beautiful that a straight couple enjoy in eachother, love, respect, caring, passion, and sex…so to answer your question, no its not a fad, it is joy at being able to openly be in love with the person whom is your soulmate…

   I don’t think it was ever a fad nor is it now. I do believe its more accepted though however. B/c would you have seen gay marrige 10 years or even five years ago? I know many cool gay people. I could not care less what your sexuality is. If you are nice to me, I’ll be nice to you. But I CANNOT STAND gay guys who think they are supposed to be women. You know those who wear girl shoes, girls clothes, and I don’t like draq queens. Those that talk w/ that lisp every time they talk. YOU KNOW! But the ones I know, they are cool. They are gay, but at the same time, they dont boast to the world about it. Not that they are ashamed, but it’s just nobodys business.

   PS I don’t believe that the attractions are a choice, now you how decide to act upon those attractions, while it’s your business, IS a choice.

   actually what you are seeing is now starting to come out
   no straight people don’t have parades and stickers on their cars but they walk around making out with each other without others staring at them and cursing they can get married when they want
   society has been made to make people think that it is only okay for a man and a woman to kiss in public and show their affection for each other
   i don’t think that being gay is another fad because the things that someone gay people do they do it for PRIDE, they do it to be recognized, for equality they do it so they could feel at home with other gay people
   its hard to be on the bus and kissing your partner and someone looks at you and mumbles something and changes seats but when they get to another seat they see a man and a woman kiss and that person just sits rite there and smiles and says that’s how it is suppose to be

   and FYI someone does not choose to be gay they are born that way it just takes someone else for them to realise it

   First off homosexuality is not a choice. We in the Gay community know that it is as natural to be a homosexual as is to be a heterosexual.
   Some may be more overtly camp in their mannerisms and speach while the rest of us just blend in. I beleive that if young people are experiencing sexual experiences of a hetrosexual and homosexual nature it can only be good for their growth and maturity.

   The most important point is that they practice safe sex at all times.

    I think in some cultures like the emo/scene one being gay is popular. To be honest there are probably some amount of teenagers walking around claiming they are gay. But there are still true gay people, any way, there might appear to be more gays because it is more acceptable to be gay or people are feeling more free to experiment with it.

    I’m too lazy to read all of what you said, but I probably would agree with you. There are a lot of non-straight people at my school, and I’ve noticed that a lot of them aren’t straight because they think it’s cool. I speculate that it’s because they haven’t matured very much. Many of them seem to go around dating their friends for short periods of time, acting all in love with each other, and think that it’s the “in thing” to date people of their gender. There’s this one girl in the grade below me (me=Senior, her=Junior) that’s currently dating a Freshman girl. I was told that the Junior hangs out with Freshman because they think that she’s really awesome, which is probably why they’re dating. I’ve seen the Freshman girl kissing this one Sophomore girl that she’s not dating, and that I’ve also seen being very intimate with other females of her age. I don’t mean to talk trash or anything, but it’s like they don’t take anything seriously or really think about these things very much, if at all. I rarely see guys doing this, which is probably the one time I’m grateful for their being insecure with their sexuality. I see these activities as a slap in the face for people that are actually homosexuals or lesbians. These people are like this because they think it’s cool or fun, but they don’t have any clue about the crap that real LGBT citizens go through in their life.

    I’m gay today. I’m gay tomorrow. I’ll still be gay when this so-called “fad” is over and done with. My sexuality is not something that I can take on and off at will, and never has been.

    Those ugly Ugg boots on the other hand…
