GAY. Most people are even ashamed and feel uncomfortable to even spell the word out. Thanks to Sex Education in our schools. The entire concept of GAY has been misunderstood by more than half the people around us. So here we try to explain some of the most basic and common things people should know about GAY men.
->First of, What is 'GAY'? And on what basis do you say a person is GAY?
GAY is a sexual orientation of a Man sexually being attracted to other man. Yep, that simple it is. And since it is sexual attraction to people of one's own sex, it is Homosexuality.
->How are they different from 'Transgenders'?
To explain this, you need to know the basics of LGBTQ. You call a person Transgender, when their gender does not match with their birth sex.
And since they undergo Sex operation, they opt to look the way they always wanted to. "GAYs and Transgenders are not the same."
In 100's of Telugu movies (without taking names) Transgenders have often been portrayed and called as GAYs, just for the sake of comedy.
->Then how do GAY people look like?
This is a very curious question that haunts many. Most people can visibly recognise and identify a Transgender. But you can't 'look' at a person and say if he's GAY or not.
That's because, they don't look any different. They look 'normal'. They look just like other human 'men'. Yes, some of you reading might be a little confused now, let me clear you up by showing how a GAY looks.
You all know 'Tim Cook' right? The CEO of Apple. He is GAY. Does he look any different to you? No, right? Because, this is how GAY people look.
->OK, but how do GAY people behave?
Definitely, not like the way they show in the movies. They behave normally. And just like how straight people flirt, they also flirt with men. Nothing unusual.
-> How To Behave Around GAY people?
Again, be normal. Watch more movies where the role of GAY has been portrayed right. For example, Kapoor and Sons. Basically be well aware of things that are happening around you.
