Why are all my crushes gay

But why do I find myself mostly having crushes on straight men!? I’m a gay guy, 17 years old, and I go to a high school where there’s honestly a pretty big population of LGBTQ students who attend there. Even so, though, the very few crushes I’ve had in my life have all been on straight guys😩.

Or I talk about weird things that came to my mind that no one is paying me to write about. I don't think he has ever felt ambiguously about his sexuality so to be clear I'm not confused about what's possible or trying to interpret mixed signals or anything. And I'm not sure what happened to me- one day we were friends and the next day I had this crush.

I couldn't resist the temptation, but I wish I had. When we're taught to repress our sexuality, the lines between intimacy and friendship blur. Lust gets tangled into love.

Either you are a flaming lesbian who used to have a huge poster of Jacob from Twilight in her bedroom, or you know one. The answer is comphet. Basically, misogyny, patriarchy and heterosexuality are all wrapped up in one male-centric package.

But when that crush is the same gender as you are, it can be a bit stressful instead. Does this mean you're gay? Should you tell them? What will people say? No matter the answers to these questions, know that your feelings are natural and are nothing to be ashamed of.
