Gay or straight?

[deephiance]

I understand you don't like gossip and neither do I or anyone, I suppose. But to be fair, on this forum, there are so many other posts asking for opinions about "is s/he closet gay" or "what does /she want" or "Is s/he just experimenting" etc. Yes it is talking behind people's back. But what matters is the intention. If they are asking for help and wants to find some comfort, do not disclose crucial information (eg exact name, city, etc) ; do not have an intention to slender that person, I think it is acceptable.

There will always be times that people need other's opinion. And very often those situations would involve other people in it. (Even looking for counselling would involves that). If even that would upset you that much, I don't know what to say. Isn't it a little bit overreacting?

Over reacting? I can see how it would be seen that way.

I'm passionate about peoples rights and my advice here would carry over to the many hundreds that have already asked this question in these forums.

These are the things I believe in very strongly -

No one is anything other than what they state..they state they are straight, then they are straight. They state they are gay, they are gay. It is not a matter for discussion by others because in my mind that is gossip.

No one should be backed into a corner to reveal their sexuality which is how I see this ending.

If someone is not hurting you or anyone else, then their sexuality and/or their sex life is none of your business unless they make it your business.

Like I said, I am passionate, I am also very very blunt and I know how that comes across to others, but I simply do not care (I don't walk into a room and wonder if people like me, I walk into a room and wonder if I like people)

Anonymous is only anonymous as long as it is anonymous...and like I previously stated, there could be some people reading this and thinking 'Maybe it is me, if I ever find out my wife and ex-wife are talking like that behind my back there will be trouble.'

GOSSIP HURTS PEOPLE

If you want to know if someone is gay, ask them.

I apologise for my bluntness and my offense, but I am who I am, and I believe what I believe.
