I'm a bisexual male living in San Antonio, Texas. Just starting to expand my life and break out of the ordinary. I have had a lot of twists and turns and would readily share my journey with anyone who I can help. I sometimes wonder if I am a governmental experiment to see how much a person can deal with before they explode. My journey as a Christian has expanded my understanding about life and the opportunity to share a tidbit of my knowledge would be a delight. Any new friends I can make along the way would be wonderful. I'm 35 years old, muscially inclined, love pastel colors, and love musicals. I enjoy movies such as Birdcage, Comedies, Lethal Weapon, and tear jerkers but my all time favorite movie is Star Wars. (all 6) I'd love to make new friends and share what I know with anyone who wants to get to know me. Many blessings and lots of love to all.

  • How did the term gay (happy) become gay (homosexual)?

    Hey guys. I'm curious. I know I saw something somewhere explaining how the term gay went from meaning happy to homosexual.

    I am bisexual and I'm not trying to start any issues. I have a friend who just asked me and I don't know? I've always been curious to know how that came to be....

    Any on know.

  • Torn love, stuck in the middle, what should i do?

    Alright. I've been rathe stupid on how i handled somethings recently but I cleared it up faily well.

    I have fallen in love with this awesome guy. He is cute, adorable, sweet, listens to me and all this stuff. He tells me how he loves me, wants to wake up in my arms, how wonderful I am, and all this great stuff. He says I make him smile, I'm a great friend and everything is great. We talk on the phone for hours every night, chat online and everything.

    OK, here's the problem. This other guy also likes him. They went out and I freaked out and thought they had sex, which they didn't. I misundestood something, did some serious kissing up, and think we got passed that but he told the other guy about me.

    I know, what a mess. The problem I am having is that I have never, that I can remember, felt this good when talking to anyone. I smile now. I haven't in years. My coworkers even say there is a twinkle in my eyes. I haven't heard that in ages.

    My friend is torn between

  • How can I explain bisexuality to someone who doesn't understand?

    I've been trying to help someone who doesn't understand bisexuality understand how a person can be attracted to both sexes. I'm not getting through very well. Any ideas or have any of you had success with this? Please any stories would be helpful.

  • Car accident and totalling of a car?

    Hey guys. If a car is considered totalled by the insurance company and you owe more than what the car is worth and when you purchased the car you were upside down on the previous vehicle what happens? I owed more on the previous vehicle than what I could get on it when I bought this car. My lovely wife got into a bad accident and the car is now totalled. But the bank added $3K onto the loan to pay off the previous vehicle. What happens with that?

    Please don't ask why am I asking this in the GLBT section. I'm bi and I like this section best. Please help me here.

  • Depressed about my pathetic life. Sometimes I wonder why I am here.?

    I know I've answered a lot of questions, asked several questions. I have a very interesting background. I sometimes wonder what the purpose is for my life. What am I doing here? Why am I working so hard for? Nothing seems to be going right and I feel like I fail at everything. I've just asked about how to deal with my son and ex-wife. I'm bisexual and married but I'm not acting on the homosexual side. I am a Christian. I work and have a great job. I have no motivation to do anything though. I have seizures, migraines, and feel like I'm wasting my time. I wonder sometimes if I am a science experiment. My wife has Bipolar, generalized anxiety disorder, and borderline personality disorder (heck of a mix).

    So, I escape into playing the piano, fantasizing about having a boy friend who is 20 (I'm 35), and dream of having a sports car.

    I hate the way things are, hate my childhood, hate the way I look, but I love my kids. That seems to be the only thing that keeps me goin

  • Need some advice about my 11 year old son. How can I help him?

    I am divorced and remarried. I have a son from a previous marriage who is now 11 and a son from my current marriage who is now 5. My ex-wife and I try really hard to get along but most of the time we don't. We are civil in front of my son. He knows we don't like each other and he does try to play us against each other. He has started to ask a lot of questions about why we divorced. The divorce was ugly and the reasons we divorced are way above his ability to understand and I really don't want him to know, ever. It will not be good. His mother and I both did some pretty STUPID things that we both regret. When we don't tell him what he wants he plays us against each other, gets rather hyper emotional, dramatic, and sassy for days.

    He also keeps saying that his step mom favors his little brother over him. Tells us stories that we find out aren't true and it almost seems that he tries to get us to hate his mother. Any ideas or similar experiences?

  • What is this Top Contributer about?

    Hey guys...I just saw this Top Contributer thing added to my avatar. What the heck is that?

  • How far is to far?

    My son has a friend who likes to snuggle up to me and acts very gay. He likes to rough house with me when my oldest is there. I never am alone with him because he is not my son and there are always people who are quick to yell and accuse.

    Well, over the Thanksgiving break he stayed the night several times with my oldest son and all three boys, my son, his friend and my youngest son would all sit next to me on the couch while we were watching movies. It has gotten cold so my son's friend (who is 11 going on 12) snuggled up to me and I put my arm around him like I do my son and my hand was on his thigh.

    He is really a sweet kid and I don't know if I am being paranoid or what, was that inappropriate? Did I overstep my boundaries with him?

    I don't want to do anything wrong. His father doesn't have much to do with him and his mom is remarried but his step-dad isn't very affectionate with him.

    Clarification: The thigh (outer legg, not the inner legg)

    FYI - I am bisexual myself.

    I think he may be somewhat gay or bi and I don't want to give him the wrong idea and I don't want to do anything wrong. His father doesn't have much to do with him and his mom is remarried but his step-dad isn't very affectionate with him.

  • Why me, I hate this life sometimes...?

    I'm partly pouting here but also asking for something, not sure what yet. I miss driving. I can't drive right now because I have seizures. I used to drive to work, sit in my car and listen to the radio for a few minutes before going in. At one point in my life I was comfortable with my sexuality, then I wasn't, now I am again. I'm married and have children, but don't want to be married because she is a mess psychologically but I love her but I don't want to leave her.

    I see and hear things saying that I can't be a Christian and be bisexual or gay because they don't go together. I want a sports car. My wife is bipolar and spends a ton of money and I have cut her off financially three times and am about to again and set her up on her own account to keep our joint account from going negative.

    I have a crush on someone 1/2 my age (male) and a gf.

    Am I starting to have a mid life crisis? What the heck is going on with me. I feel like I'm falling apart.

  • Isn't this a GLBT forum? Why do so many straights come here?

    I don't understand something. There have been so many straight people answering GLBT questions lately. I noticed that with the question about whether or not you've considered having sex with someone of the same sex. There is one person who has answered quite a few questions in this forum who said he would never have sex with someone of the same sex. There was at least 5 or 6 maybe more straight people answering questions. I don't understand. Why come to this forum? There are others for dating and so on. What's up?

  • Why are Christians hateful towards GLBT? Doesn't God say love everyone?

    I really have come to despise a lot of Christians over my life. Many who have never been in my shoes or of those similar to me. Simply saying "it is a choice" and that "God will change you" and "just pray about it" offend me now. After living in this world for 35 years and being bisexual for 24 of these years with 15 of them as a born again Christian I do not believe it is a choice, God has NOT changed me or many others that I know and prayer has been useless on this.

    Christians are you so naive that you cannot comprehend that same sex relationships is just as real as opposite sex? I know scriptures just as well as you. What is up with all the hate and arrogance?

    Jesus was sent to die because God love the WHOLE world. Not just you. He loves EVERYONE. What is up with the harshness towards homosexuality when child abuse isn't deal with so harshlessly, I don't see the same harshness with drug and alcohol abuse, I don't see the same with smoking, or many other sins?

  • Unasnwered prayers?

    Bear with me. This is kind of complex.

    I've been a believer since 1993 and I'm loosing my faith and am starting to doubt the great soveriegnty of Jesus.

    1) Six weeks after accepting Jesus I had a brain aneurysm. Ever since I have had seizures and migraines. I have fasted, prayed, and gone to many, many doctors and am now on 5 medications and nothing has changed.

    2) I was a gay teenager who married a woman at 24 years of age. I considered myself bisexual until I had my 1st son. I spent countless hours at the alter praying, receiving prayer, studying the word, going to programs learning about the Father and how much he loves me and so on. My ex-wife decided to leave me for another woman. We divorced and I left the church for a peroid.

    3) During the peroid I left the church I went back to my old ways, drinking, smoking, and homosexuality.

    4) I moved to another town, went back to church and met my current wife. After we had our son, my second, she was

  • What about these people? Is there any hope?

    I feel very strongly about about a biased view that people have that certain things cannot change. Please hear me out on this. I may cause a little stir but I cannot stand hearing things like this.

    EXAMPLE: A man is sexually abused and beaten as a young boy for many years by family members. Lives in poverty. He has to cook his own meals, do his own laundry, and basically care for himself. He is sexually abused by other family members as he gets older. His father is an alcoholic. He starts to think the only way to get attention is through sexual contact with others. So he grows up thinking that he must have sex with other boys. This continues into adulthood and he ends up molesting and abusing boys just as he was.

    Many people are quick to say this person must be locked up and thrown away forever. I have a sensitive place in my heart for people such as this and want to provide help for them to rehabilitate their lives. What they did as an adult is wrong but I believe they can chan

  • What is the deal with the biased attitudes with bisexuals?

    When I go to bars and hang out with people so many say that I have to be either straight or gay. What is up with that? I am getting so tired of it. Why can't I have sexual desires for both? I am married but I don't have sex with men but I do have sexual desires for men. I don't act on it but I sure do appreciate males and have had boy friends in the past and have totally enjoyed male sex. I know what I like. Is it wrong for me to think the way I do about being bisexual? Or is it just the narrow mindedness of others?

  • I need some encouragement?

    I've sent some questions before about my wife having bipolar and not being entirely stable. I have gotten some good links and have appreciated it. The last several days she has become very anxious, manicy, panicy, and has started yelling. She went to the dentist for a cleaning and to have her teeth examined and bit the dentist because he was talking about hunting. Casual conversation. She didn't like what he was talking about. She yelled at a 4yr old neighbor boy because he rang the door bell three times because he wanted to play with our 4yr old boy. Today, she yelled at a friend who was watching our son while we went to my oldest son's school play, she screamed at me, and it goes on and on. I've had to get between her and the kids to stop her from yelling at them. I am tired, worn out, and want to kick and scream and beat the heck out of something.

    I called a friend and ended up yelling at her and really hurt her because I can't drive due to having seizures.
