Eight is equal to capital "d"

[Counselor]

Hi. I've been thinking about touching penises while masturbating since I could do both. But being raised in a Christian home didn't go far to help the denial, and now I'm almost thirty and about to go through a divorce with an amazing woman that can't stand me right now, but always showed me that being who you are will make you happier than being who you think everyone wants you to be. Right now I have to take her word for it, since I haven't really seen the evidence yet, but not feeling like I'm always trying to keep myself secret has been a huge relief. Now I'm here, looking for support/information/laughs from other people with alternative sexuality.

And just so this isn't another welcome thread, I'll ask a question: from what I've read, "gay" as a term indicates a subscription to a specific gender role in the traditional binary, is that correct?
