So, if a straight girl romantically rejects a straight boy, that's pretty crushing to the boys self worth, right? Especially if he's getting rejected all the time. It shouldn't be, but from a certain angle it is.
Say a gay or lesbian person gets rejected by a straight or sexually confused person, does that really count as a rejection to the self worth in the same way it would if their sexuality was the same?

No.
If they have another sexual preference, it is primarily your gender they reject.
Not you. Hence i personally don't feel as rejected.
I'm not going to answer because TerryVie has already done that for me. Just wanted to tell you that this was a good question. :)
No it still hurts to be rejected regardless. Since that person might feel that if they were another sex you might love them more. This is coming from experience with many gay people too. It also does not mean they will stop trying. They might just try harder and harder to try and impress you. I have spoken to lesbians were depressed since a gay girl shot them down, and wished that she could of just been born male since they really wanted this girl. It was really sad.
No it is not because the sexually confused person is not sure of their identity. The straight person is a completely different sexuality and you can not expect them to change just because you love them. If they are straight they are straight. If they later say they are gay or think they are gay that is all them not you. You should not force a gay person to be straight and you should not force a straight one to be gay. It should be that persons decision.
Go watch American Wedding, the part where they are looking for the dress. Should answer your question perfectly.
No it's not the same cause if u are gay, bi or something different than straight you can understand why you are rejected by the other straight person. In the other situation is more difficult to understand the reason of the rejection so it hurts more.
Yes, because regardless if their sexual preference is true or not, you wouldn't know.
One could assume it's just an excuse to get away from you.
Well it could hurt a lot being rejected on the basis of your sexual orientation for additional reasons like: you thought they had the same orientation and they didn't.
Anyway - I think you're putting people in too many jars. Rejection is hard for most people most of the time .
Gay people shouldn't be asking out people they know are straight, it's just asking to be rejected, so what's the point?
I don't understand.
Why would a gay or lesbian approach a straight person for a sexual relationship?
Just as if you had asked if a straight guy asked a lesbian (only) for a sexual relationship and was turned down, then this would be expected. Although, I suppose there's no harm in trying!
Gays and lesbians (solely) are not at all interested in the opposite sex sexually. Didn't you know?
By being rejected by someone who is not specifically sexually interested in you, but your entire gender. Means that it is definitely not 'personal', and therefore any personal rejection type of feeling would be unfounded.
By the way, I'm not gay. But I find the question to answer itself. Full on gays or lesbians are just not interested in opposite sex relationships. Just as straight sexually inclined individuals are not interested (at all) in same sex relationships.
I hope that is clear.
Regarding a 'sexually confused' person, that obviously could be either way.
uhm, i understand what you're trying to explain, but if i'm going out and looking for a potential partner, i don't exactly "see" what their sexual preference is.
I don't try to chat up straight girls on purpose, but finding out they're not into other girls usually includes "being rejected".
just saying.
