Is Gay Okay?
If gay is how you ARE, then how you are is always ok. Some people are born with red hair, some with freckles, some with nine fingers and some with diabetes. I also believe that how you FEEL is always ok. Being mad, sad, scared or embarrassed is your state of mind and there is no right or wrong to having feelings. Even feeling angry or vengeful is okay.
What you DO is your choice though, and there is no question that how you ARE and how you FEEL affects what you will want to do, feel like doing, or be driven to doing. However, what you do is almost always your choice and simply being gay isn't what you are doing but what you ARE.
So, of course your next question is this: If I feel gay, then isn't it ok to do things that gay people do? And this answer is firstly that your actions are your CHOICE and whether these actions are OK is going to be up to you, not to others.
