When you say the issue is acting on a sexual attraction - obviously you are saying that the issue is in having sexual relations. And when you compare having gay sexual relations to straight men acting out sexually with teenage girls - you are saying that you place both acts on an equal basis...
As a gay man, my own philosophy is this: You receive a level of acceptance based upon the type of person you are - irrespective of your sexuality. If you are an outgoing, people-type person - friendly and considerate of other people's feelings, you can get along, often, with even the most...
Wheew ... I lost the url to this forum and only recently found my way back. My questions seems to have stirred up a hornets nest (as I knew it would, chuckle). Thanks to all you responders. :clap

Hugs to you all, Paul
I joined and then forgot to come back! Silly me. It was the newsletter that I received that reminded me of this wonderful forum. I have since bookmarked it so that, in my senility, I shan't wander to far off. Thank you for your kind welcomes.
