I Am Kinda Gay, Aren’t I?

[kamelot_amhran]

It all started thinking about Prince Naveen (from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog). He might be my favorite Disney character EVER (which is amazing since he is a MAN). The reasons: he loves jazz, he’s handsome & he loves Tiana like whoa. The middle one is the only one applying right now.

Of all the Disney males I DO find Naveen the most

If it's alright, I'm going to speak plainly here - I hope that's alright, and I sincerely apologise if I step over any lines or cause any offense at all. I also hope I don't throw any spanners in the works in terms of you figuring this stuff out - it can take a long time! I'm just offering my own experiences to help you put them in context. In any case, my intention is to help, and I hope I don't come across the wrong way. ^_

Oh don't worry. I'm not offended or upset at all. :D
Thanks for your opinions. That is interesting about male gentialia...maybe that's not an appealing body area?
I think I have a pretty good idea of what I think/feel about my sexuality/romance. The problem is that I can't quite fit it into any labels exactly. Which fits nicely into your comment about not labelling myself. That might be the best. Whoever I end up with is fine. I kinda assume if it's a man I'll find him attractive in that way.
So thanks so much for your thoughts. I appreciated it very much.

Just a quick little two cents

Oddly I don't find Naveen all that good-looking; he's all right, but something about his face, if I stare at it long enough bugs me. I prefer him as a frog I think.

Also, I don't recall ever being terrified or nervous or edgy about male gentialia...

Well you are weird. :)

On to my actual response:

It seems to make sense to me, and I don't think one needs to necessarily have those feelings - in regard to romantic friendship for men -- without being straight. I have the same feelings for certain men. I love them as passionately as the romantic ones that once were, but I'd never do anything physical with them. If anything, it seems to attest to the power of love; it's all encompassing and all-inclusive. (and that made me think of my Foucault essay...-_-)

I didn't have anything to say to this response other than I appreicate your thoughts and your opinions were most helpful (like the others).
I felt kinda bad that your response was the only unanswered one so I thought I should say something. :)

This is really interesting to read; I think it's awesome that you've realised and come to terms with this for yourself. :D

I think it's absolutely true that being heterosexual is perceived as the norm and that it's easier to go with that, especially if you do find men objectively attractive. But like you said, it can be romantic and intellectual, but if there's not that one piece it's not really totally fulfilling, is it?

That said, I don't think what anyone else thinks of you should decide what you call yourself/label yourself (if you choose to). You can definitely still be gay if you find men attractive. :D

♥!

Thank you!
Everyone's responses have been so nice and helpful.
I'm beginning to think labels are less important than knowing who you are.
Again, thank you for your kind words.
