Gotta be, or the depressing realities of this thread would sink me so low I'd give up.

No No No !!!!
The point of this thread should be learning how to define yourself and not let other people define you!
(and gay people have a lot to teach here!)
We can just kvetch and bitch, but that won't change anything.
Of course a good laugh now and then won't hurt either. ;D

I agree, Clyde. I think you have to face the problems before you can fix them.
And you're right -- gay people are good role models for learning to be true to yourself. :)

One of the things I discovered was that I was giving up control of defining myself to other people. I was actually letting them define me for me. It's very subtle and I think a lot of people that are faced with this problem less severely than gays aren't even aware of how it's being done to them, how they are doing it to themselves, and what to do about it.

This is so true! Certainly in the realm of arts and entertainment, you would be hard pressed to find more devoted fans of a woman performer than her gay male followers.
A lot of people have this misconception that gay men have no interest or admiration for women, and this is very far from the case. Women just (generally) don't have that erotic allure for most of us that men do.
