Has it occured to anyone that being gay is not always about gender identity thingy? Just come to my house and see how I act. I drink beer, watch baseball games, play soccer and volleyball with friends, lift weight, always leave my room a complete mess, etc. How the hell is that feminine?
I'm attracted to the smell of men, which I cannot help. I like my man to be beer drinking, hairy, broad chested figure. Does this person sound like someone that has a gender identity crisis?
And just for the record, I have only dressed up in drag a few times before. I did them to be funny. I absolutely hate to wear women's clothing. And no, I will never shave my legs again. Oh, and one more thing, the next time I see a barbie doll, I'm going to twist off its head (my niece has a whole collection of them) and let my dog chew on the body.

Re: different gay types?
What are your honest thoughts as someone more acquainted with the community?
Back in my days of denial, I dated many girls. All of them were very man-like. One of them was so convincing that when I first met her I thought she was a guy (she was also very flat if you know what I mean).
I am neither very masculine nor very feminine. I am just average, although I do tend to lean toward my masculine side more. I hang out with people that go to beer drinking parties. I date guys that are just average like me. I never hold hands. I never display public affections (not even when I was dating girls). When I walk down the street or in the mall with my b/f, you'd think that we were just a couple of friends. People didn't even know that my g/f were my g/f. I wear things like bd pants to shorts to jeans to those 2.99 shirts they sell in walmart.
However, within the gay community that I am in I'd have to say that over half of the people I know are somewhere between very feminine and just plain fruity. They can't say a paragraph without making a compliment on how nice my shoes are. They can't walk down a block without holding hands or kissing their loved ones. They can't just wake up in the morning and not spend 30-45 minutes in the bathroom getting ready (I spend about 5-10, if that). They must almost always wear the most fruity clothes imaginable. In other words, they are the complete opposite of what I am. They hate watching sports. They don't drink beer.
Now, imagine everything in between.
Like atheletes, doctors, dogs, cats, chinchillas, ants, Italians, Germans, Jews, christians, etc. there are different "types" of homosexuals. The only difference is while the rest try to score with every member of the opposite sex they could get their hands on, we try to score with every member of the same sex we could get to. However, the difference is like one group worshipping Christ while the other still waiting for their savior. Oh wait, because of that little difference you persecuted them for centuries. Never mind (being sarcastic).
But seriously, of course there are different "types" of gays. What, you thought we were all the obvious types before? I'll give you a hint, most people have trouble believing I was gay and a heterophobe... and a girlphobe.

Marriage for love is a recent development. For millenia, marriage was simply a legal contract to legitimize children and make clear lines for succession and inheritance.
Might I comment that I was this close to marrying someone I had never met before because of arrange marriage... or more like a promise between two families.

am open to scientific evidence that supports geneticly passed homosexuality. If it ever comes to light, I would adjust my argument.
First of all, let me make it clear that you are part of the reason why I have such a negative attitude toward christians.
Anyway, this article gives an alternative explanation on the issue at hand. It's pretty interesting.
Also, if you are so anti-choice, it would interest you to know that I CHOSE to go fishing the other day. Didn't have to be born with the fisherman gene.

Re: RTFM
It's times like this that makes me wish there really is a god and there is a hell. That's right, I'll just say it out now. If I'm going to hell, I'll be seeing you there, also. Your hatred for your fellow human beings, which according to you are also god's children, disgust the hell out of me. That's it, go ahead and try to bring back slavery and all the other treacherous things you christians have been doing for centuries while justifying it with the bible.
We now return to our regular broadcast.

Where have I ever stated I have homosexuals? Where did I ever say let us bring back slavery?
Oh, sure you haven't.
I can understand if you don't have a valid argument to support your point, but don't put words in my mouth.
(1) Why try to make a valid argument if you're just going to ignore me?
(2) I've given up on being the understanding/tolerant liberal. In other words, screw you.
(3) I'll take what I said in 2 back. Actually, screw you again.
(4) I'm ashamed to be the same species as you.
(5) You're pretty dense, you know that?
This is about a political/social issue, nothing to do with the individuals.
What a BS thing to say. It's like saying, "the fact that black people shouldn't be allowed to drink out of the same drinking fountain as white people has nothing to do with the individuals. It's more about political and social issue..." Well, hate to break it to you, but social and political issues have direct consequences on the individuals.
I don't think most gays hate straight people, and the same is true of most straight people.
It's probably true, but I'm the select few who don't like straight people. Gay power!
Oh, and screw you again.

Re: Identity Crisis
So, if two women want to get married, you'd have no problem with it, since it's "normal" for females to have such bondship? Somehow, I have a feeling you're going to make up some kind of excuse.
