“So when did you know?” Tom asked through a mouthful of pizza. With several beers under his belt and stomach full of food, it hadn’t taken him long to feel relaxed around the man who had thrown his life into turmoil. There were still many questions that needed answering, and the most burning of those was when Booker knew he was bisexual.

It was the question Dennis most dreaded answering. Was it the exhilarating moment his classmate’s lips touched his cock? Or was it after he’d ejaculated, when a warm, post-climactic afterglow had tingled through his sated body? In the eight years since his coming out, it was a question he had asked himself many times. But he had come to the conclusion it was almost impossible to define the exact moment he had felt an attraction toward boys as well as girls. So, rather than relive the painful and somewhat humiliating story of his first homosexual encounter, he gave Tom a more generic answer. “I think I always knew.”

Tom paused mid-bite, the two lines between his brows deepening. Once again he wondered why he had only developed feelings for the opposite sex at the age of twenty-four, and why did those feelings only apply to Booker? None of it made sense, and he began to wonder if he was going through some sort of

It was a simple situation, and he figured he had two choices. He could stay, have another drink (or two) and risk falling into bed with Booker. Or, he could play it safe, go home and wank off while wishing he’d stayed, had another drink and fallen into bed with Booker. But despite the clanging of alarm bells ringing in his head, the answer was a no-brainer.

    Growing up in the latter part of Sullivan’s generation, I can relate to and agree to the majority of his perspectives of what is a homosexual. None the less, I can also relate to the evolving perspectives of homosexuality in today’s generation. Raising a homosexual child in today’s society has provided me with an updated insight into the ever changing homosexual culture.

    “I am gay,” Jonathan, my long time friend, whispered to me as I sat across from him eating my Chipotle burrito bowl. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I searched for the proper words to respond. I struggled not because his revelation changed my opinion towards him, but as the first person he confided in, I wanted to reassure him that this has not changed the love and the sense of belonging between us. We live in the “Bible Belt” of America, which holds strong conservative cultural and religious views, so Jonathan was facing a daunting task of revealing his sexual orientation.…

    Frank Paiva, the author of “A Prince Charming for the Prom (Not Ever after, Though)” describes his experience as the gay prom date for his female friends. Paiva successfully explains the adversity that LGBT youth in a heteronormative society face. Through the use of various rhetorical strategies such as the Aristotelian Appeals and informal diction, he highlights the fact that society is not ready to accept LGBT people and those that differ from society’s expectations. Paiva establishes his credibility by explaining his past circumstances, but he loses some validity when he expresses prejudice towards other LGBT youth. Paiva first establishes ethos by stating that “[he] knew [he] was gay in sixth grade and came out in eighth (1)”.…

    The lowest I have ever gotten is when I decided to make the choice to go against my mother. It is not that I meant to do anything to hurt her; I just wanted to try to find some way to be seen as ‘normal’ in society. I had been fighting an internal conflict for years and I was not aware of the proper way to deal with my predicament, so I took the hard route unknowingly. If I could re-do one moment in my life, I would go back to my 10th grade self and let myself accept the fact that I am gay. If I had not made such foolish decisions, I probably would not want to go back to that time as much as I do.…
