I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there is a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I consider myself gay because at the end of the night, that's who I want to cuddle with. But when I go out, I go to straight clubs.
As a heterosexual man, I've never really doubted my sexuality, but I've had men in my life and thought, 'If I was gay, I'd be with him' - you know?
Without gay men, I am nothing.
Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.
I don't feel, finally, that my politics are entirely determined by the fact that I'm a gay man.
I always knew I was gay. I always knew that somehow it would work out.
I kind of live my life as an example, and I just never felt like I had to be on the cover of a magazine announcing that I was gay; it's just who I am. I just live my life, and I never really thought about it.
Gay men have to go through something to own their - who they are. They get beat up. They get ostracized. Whatever they go through, if they survive it, they come out very confident people.
Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It's easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I'm gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight.
I'm not gay, and I'm not a superhero.
