Only if they are drunks and druggies and sexually deviant with-in same-sex desires. So, no, that is the scenario that sells in the media. We all seek fulfillment emotionally, mentally, physically, and sexually. Sex can be a nasty thing if we make it that way. Physical attraction is a misture of a hormonal impulse and a loving heart's desire. We can't control how our hormones react or why they react to certain things. We can't change that which fulfills the heart's desire. Look at people on the whole: a straight person wants to hold someone's hand and feel a secure warmth; a gay person wants to hold someone's hand and feel a secure warmth. It's not the issue that gay affection is bad. It's the fact that expressing any kind of emotion in public is looked down upon. Nobody really likes to see PDA of any sort.
A gay person is just like everyone else: they have fears and dreams, they are a real person whose hormones tend to act differently than what we expect them to act.
Reiteration: gays are COMPLETELY normal people. Society just over-magnifies a single part of them. But this is only comprehensible if you personally know someone who is gay and therefore negates all stereotyping. |
