Gay / Transgender / Homosexual

The misconception is that All are One and the Same.

This is a very sensitive topic that will be almost impossible not to upset someone's feelings, but by not doing so, especially as an elder and an educator would be giving a misperception to my perspective on Sexuality.

Growing up I was told by my grandmother, who was told by her grandmother, "Words unspoken can never be misinterpreted," I have learned words unspoken can leave the wrong impression.

I live by the philosophy to each their own, but to me it is a sign of insecurity and disregard, when someone has to feel they must promote and publicly exhibit their sexuality. Especially, those Gay male individuals, who with their public antics disrespect the true beauty and essence of a woman. Why is it that the gay male is so much more fixated than the much more subtle gay female?

It seems to be that the gay male, cross dressers are the majority of the individuals publicly looking  for attention, they remind me of out-patients. I am not suggesting that all individuals who consider themselves to be Gay to be Troubled.

I don't think it is homophobic to feel insulted when some man gives you the "Sweet Eye," when what is on his mind is Sodomy; nor do I think it homophobic to feel that explicit sexual behavior is unacceptable, really by anyone, but especially by same sex individuals in front of children.

Growing at an alarming rate, young people are being bombarded with bi / sexually driven Ads, commercials, videos, games, movies, etc., with a message that this is a healthy and acceptable life-style.  Parents and guardians need to talk to their children about SEX, if they don't their children will learn from their friends' interpretation of what their parents might have told them and or what they themselves may have seen.

There are several other possible contributors for this trend toward homosexuality: poverty, profit, imprisonment, rape, low self esteem, peer pressure, diet, etc.

I remember at a job interview for an illustrator position for an AD agency,  the interview put his hand on mine and told me the job was mine if I wanted it, needless to say I didn't want the job that bad. I have recently read an article that reported that Homosexual Black male's salaries are on par with that of white males; so ambition can be that force which causes individuals into compromising situations.

"Down Loaders" I feel are the lowest and most offensive of homosexual individuals, especially those who persecute and discriminate against homosexuals, pretending to be someone that they are not. They are often Freaks preying on the innocent.

Because of poverty and peer pressure, too many of the young Black men being incarceration for petty, trumped up crimes are being sexually victimized by harden criminals, which in turn has created a vicious cycle with many of them themselves becoming sexual predators. Low self-esteem caused by abuse, incest and rape are other reasons for individuals rejecting traditional male/female relationships.

The fact that Today's diets are full of hormones, especially estrogen that are having visible, physical effects on adolescent men and women.
