(115,683 posts)I got into an argument with an acquaintance as a young adult who strongly believes we were all bi when I have been attracted to men, turned out he wanted to watch me with another woman as was a voyeur. First openly gay man I knew was a brother of a friend. I was visiting the friend when his brother and another young man came through hand in hand. Friend said "yes, he's gay", I thought " huh" and that was about that.
I credit my parents with the wonderful job they did raising us to accept others for who they are, except for jerks of course. Those we were supposed to try and educate, be a good example, and help protect your who needed it. As I told my kid, I don't care who you are with so long as they are good for you and you are good for them.
