It seems to me that the only real difference between a gay person and a straight person is who they decide to "sleep" with.
Case in point ---
A good friend and I were in grad school at the same time. She is gay (lesbian) and I'm straight. We're both Black females of the same age. We both have similar backgrounds in terms of family. She is Catholic, I'm protestant - basically both of us are of Christian religions. She had struggles in grad school, so did I.
The only major difference is that she went out with girls, I went out with guys. Our similarities ended at the bedroom door, if you will.
I think that what ever you do in your private life is your business. Some people are into S&M, threesomes and bondage - I don't see any of those people at the court house demanding equal rights.
No one is going to know what you do in the privacy of your home unless you put it out there. No pun intended.
Oh, another thing about my friend. She is from the Chicago area and I'm from Texas - maybe that is another significant difference.
