Default Are you gay or just effeminate?

Since not all gay males are effeminate and not all effeminate males are gay, are effeminate strait males sometimes pressured to be gay by others because they do not accept them as strait?

What an idiotic suggestion. People do not pick their sexuality. One can not be "pressured" to be gay. Either you're gay or you're not.

How can one be 'pressured' to have sexual attraction to their same sex? It's either there or it isn't.

After all --- look at the unfortunate outcome of gays who been pressured to fake a straight life. They end up divorced and their spouse is destroyed by the duplicity.

You can't "pressure" someone to be gay - they either are or they aren't. Just like you can't "pressure" someone to post stupid questions - they either will or they won't.

You did.

They may be suspected of being gay and that may put them in dire straits sometimes.

"Toughness" and effeminity do not equate with sexuality.

The most manly guy I know is gay.... seriously, this guy is a laborer, drives a truck, can fix anything, builds stuff, can fix a sprinkler system one minute, and turn around and mount a fan, install a window, or fix a garbage disposal. Installation of cabinetry? No problem. Need some tile laid? Pass him the mortar. Toilet needs installation? Bring it on.

Besides, who would be "pressuring" these straight men to go gay? Gay men? Straight women? Straight men?

How very true. You either are or your not. And your right, when one is pressured to fake a straight life style, we see what happens, marriages end up in divorce, familes are destroyed. Stay true to who you are regardelss, of what those around you may feel. I rather someone be honest with whom they are, then stay in a marriage based on false beliefs.
