To start with, I am a white male, straight in actions, bi in attitudes.
I want to understand what it means to be gay/bi/lesbian in today's world;
so to all of you out there: what's it like?

I dunno...what's it like being straight? What's it like being male? What's
it like being human?

I guess the question makes even less sense to me, because I've only been out
for a year or so, so I can't even compare what it's like nowadays with what
it was like a while back.
No that it's a bad question - I mean, I wonder what it would be like to be
straight (or black, or female, or whatever) sometimes. It's just too big to
answer, IMO.

I second that emotion.

        Anectdotes might give people a better picture.

One thing I don't like is the double standard.  When I tell people I'm bi,
they say "Oh!  How cool!"  If my male friends come out, they're frowned upon.
It's such a fad nowadays for a girl to be bisexual, and it makes me sick that
so many women say they are but wouldn't touch a girl when it really comes down
to it.  Just my two cents.

I haven't been treated differently, and when I told my friends a big response
was, "Took you long enough."  I guess they know me better than I do.  =)

For some people, in certain career fields, it really bites...or so I'm 
told.  ;{

hmmm

Amen, Sarah.  Doesn't it suck!  I mean, it really does.  That's why I don't
let my guard down to just anyone.
