My friend Karen sent me this article the other day. It was showing that researches have found that the male homosexual’s brain patterns are similar to those of a straight female’s.
Well that explains why I am a straight girl’s best friend!! 
I think it is all about understanding each other and the fact we both date and fall in love with men. That would have us think and process information in the same ways.
Now, I am not saying we match. It is not like being in the school yard again and being called a “girl”. I am just saying that we do see some things alike and can relate to each other.
But I know a lot of my girl friend’s say they love the way I think like a guy. As we know, woman have had a hard time with their gender role in the workplace or life. Too aggressive like a masculine man and they get called a bitch.
It can be compared to a gay man’s struggle has in the masculine male world when they don’t watch the football games or play sports. We both, in different ways, understand what it is like to struggle to by part of the boy’s club.
Maybe it is time we gang up and destroy the old boy’s club and start our own.

Knowing that we all are born of man & woman, we have both genes we have the reactions of both sexes.
I get along with women better than men, but I have a situation that some women find me attractive and it kinda gets awkward with some women.
Then I’m butch enough that I watch and participate in sports, that I get along with men on that level, but I find myself attracted to a st8 guy, then I have to back off to avoid problems.
I agree with making your own club, don’t let anyone tell you how you should live your live!
I’ve heard of studies that found that being Gay or ST8 just depends on the amount of certain genes makes you Gay or ST8.
Other people say being Gay or ST8 has to do the way you were trained as a child. (I knew I was different as a child (3-5 years old), I liked cuddling with the boys) My parents didn’t want a Gay child.
But I believe God makes us in God’s image, so I’m Gay because that the way I was born.
Or you can go by the old joke:
“Whats the difference between a Gay & a straight guy?”
Three tequilas!

What great view on life and thank you for sharing your personal experiences.
I agree with you always knowing. Even as a child I knew I was different. In first grade all the boys were building and working while the girls were in the play house making dinner. I was always in the play house making dinner. It was just where I wanted to be.
I also knew in ways I was attracted to boys when I was real young but growing up I was taught, not by my family, that it was wrong. Boys like girls and girls like boys. So I just assumed one day it would happen. It wasn’t until I was an adult did I realize life wasn’t that way and I could be who I wanted.
I love the joke at the end.

I also at a VERY young age knew I liked boys penises versus a girls va-jai-jai.
I didn’t put the word gay to it until much later.
The summer between 3rd and 4th grade my mom remarried and I was given my step dad’s bedroom furniture which included a playboy magazine in the nightstand. My mom was well aware of it being there, it sort of backfired on her plan for me to take an interest in naked women. My friends would come over and look at it and become aroused and I was more than accommodating to help take care of their erections.
All the neighbor boys were 4 years older than me, so I was pretty happy. LOL
It was kinda funny when my friends were ‘asleep’ they managed to get my underwear down and their underwear off and managed to either to press their butts against my erection or vice versa all while ‘asleep’
I am not sure where this story was going but I think it had to do with your parents not wanting a gay child.
When I was asked at age 17 if I was in fact gay, I said I choose not to be labeled. So my step-mother sent me bible scripture. I can’t remember exactly what it was but it said “neither thieves, or liars, or Adultiers , or homosexuals, will enter the kingdom of God” so as a cocky teenager I highlighted the word adultiers and wrote on the side with highlighted “see you in hell?’ and returned it to my step-mother, because she was my Dad’s secretary long before she was his wife. It was no longer discussed. It is funny how things have changed my Dad’s tennis partner has a gay son and my Dad was trying to set us up. LOL
Boy it is amazing how much things had changed and they are finally much more accepting.
I also guess it is how the times have changed. :o)
I believe I had taken up too much of people’s time, so I wish ya’ll a GREAT day!
Take Care-

First there is no limit on yuor comments or sharing. You are never wasting our times. That is what this blog is all about. Sharing and good for you being so open with us.
Times have changed. The innocent things we did as a child lead us to who we are as adults. There is the teenage years where society pushes us one way to what is seen as normal. I am glad to see the changes and that normal is finally beginning to be based on the person not someone’s standards.
I can’t wait to hear how the date goes with the tennis partner’s son.
