LOL. "Gaydar" isn't always perfect, and as I said, we gays come in all sorts. Some of us, just like straights, don't know how to play well with others.

I am not arguing with you. You are entitled to your opinion. I am just trying to explain a view point that is different than yours.

A gay is not going to approach, or flirt, with a straight.
Azzan, thus far I appreciate your insight and contribution to this thread. However, you don't speak for all homosexuals, and your last statement can easily be proven inaccurate. There are statistics that show it's rarer than people fear, but it does occur.

I agree with your first statement completely.

Actually both co-founders of Exodus resigned their positions, divorced their wives and entered into a partnership together.

The only gays most people notice are the flamboyant ones (like those often featured in the entertainment industry). There are plenty flying under the gaydar. I think some people forget that there are feminine lesbians and masculine homosexuals.

Oh my gosh, Aquila! I can't stop laughing!!!!

Would that be the opposite of a man saying, "Man, she was ugly as a dog, I really was attracted to her!"

Y'all realize, don't you, that not all Christians believe a person is going to hell because he/she is gay or is living the gay life style? There are Churches, some of them Pentecostal, who include GLBT members.

Touche. I knew someone was going to nail me to the wall for making that statement. Yes, you are right, I cannot speak for all gays. I can only speak for myself AND the circle of gay friends I associate with.

There are gays who will not flirt with straights.
