Is it normal that being gay is not "exciting" anymore?

I remember my young gay days. Those weren't easy days. A lot of discrimination and constant fear. However, there was a strong sense of comradeship in the community. If I ever had a problem, I knew I could count on my gay friends.

It was just a type of bond that cannot be explained. It was like living in a secret community. We felt like secret agents, defending our cause from evil.

But now, everything has changed. Homosexuality is not meant to be a secret anymore. Every group of people have a gay friend. Gays don't need to hang out with each other now, they have normal people. So yeah, even though it is best in a way... we kind of lost this special bond I was talking about earlier.

I don't want to sound awful, but I just feel kind of sad about it. Even though I can be friends with everyone now, everything was still much easier before. So... is this normal?

    That's how I feel when the music I like becomes popular.

    Gee, maybe you should invent a secret handshake for gays only. Would that help?

    I wish all gay people were like you. Just stick with your own people! I find this, diversity, world peace, flower power bullshit ridiculous.

          Dude, you should listen to your penis more often. It almost screams to get sucked off by some manly guy.

  • I think its good that society is becoming more accepting of people with differences. At least thats how it is where I'm from. I live in a very diverse area which has been declared at times to be both the most culturally diverse and gayest place in america. I witness very little discrimination here.

    I think this has nothing to do with 'gay', you are just seeking friends or a group you can share you secrets and interests with. And I guess you have never really been confronted with any kind of discrimination or hate, so consider yourself lucky.

    It is normal to miss exclusive camaraderie. Hell, why do you think there is so much allure in limited edition?

    Start doing sexual things that haven't had a big civil rights movement behind them yet. You can start having multiple wives. Or have sex with goats. Or have goat wives.

    You'll have to think of something else in ten years or so, though. Society will accept just about anything if they're yelled at and guilted enough.
