Hey guys and gals,
it is me Adam Ant again =). Well It has been around a week since I first introduced myself and A lot has happened since then and I need to have somebody listen too my issues ok =)....

Well, this week has been FUCKED UP....I have been thinking a lot about sexuality and other issues....just a few Questions for you all, this has been puzzling me for a while now.

Is Homosexuality Genetic ? can anyone else in my family be gay ?

If I am gay, does it meen that any of my siblings may be gay too ?


--------------------------

I just got sent home from school about an hour ago for beating the crap out of some guy.
The thing is, this guy is a closet gay.....when he was drunk he was trying to get onto some of the gay guys at a party i was at...and somebody told him that I was dissin him behind his back, calling him a fag and shit. The thing is, I never said anything about him, I never even speak about him.

But anyway, He jumped on my back when I was at my locker this morning and started punching me. He is half my size (I am 6ft 1 and pretty chunky)...but anyway, he is throwing punches into me...i threw him on the ground, and when he got up i punched him in the face and knocked out his front teeth.

The headmaster of the school called me a bigit...he thought i hit the guy because he was gay.........I feel terrible...it had nothing too do with sexuality...but nobody will listen =(

I don't know how telling you guys this is gonna help, but i needed to get it off my chest......
I know the guy is gonna come after me again, And I will have to defend myself and hit him again...........

Hey Adam! Glad you came back, even tho it was a bad day. That's what these MB's are good for...ranting about real world shit that we all have to deal with...

Are you out to anybody at school yourself? Or are you in the closet also?

Good question about whether being gay is genetic. I've done loads of reading about it, being a gay shrink in real life...

The answer is probably all variations of human sexuality is genetic, with an important part also being played by environmental factors as well. About the same percentage of the population is gay as are left-handed, which is also genetic, near as anybody can figure.

Is anybody else in your family gay? Probably. The number most commonly used for gays in the general population is about 10%. So odds are that 10% of your family is also gay. Same as amongst your classmates...hehe

THe only time scientists are sure the percentage is HIGHER than that is for twins, either identical or not. If one twin is gay, it's more than 20% likely that the other twin is also gay or bi. Cool, huh?

Not sure what to say about the getting into fights thing. Why not try talking to him...or writing him, or something...up to you, tho! We'll like you whatever happens.

Adam!

I don't know what others have already said to you (I read your post first and wanted to reply immediately)...

I don't pretend to know all the answers, but here is just a suggestion. Dunno if it is a good one or not, but you could try it anyway...


TALK to the guy.


Before you two get in each other's hair again, seek him out and explain you never dissed him. Maybe approach one of his friends first and set up a meeting somewhere.

Talking's better than fighting, in my book.

And remember, we are all here for you, even if some of us - like me - are physically on the other side of the world.

We wish we were close to you, but our words can still reach you!

Even if you have to bear hug him or something to do it (last resort!) at least tell him you really weren't dissin him. Good luck!

Hey Adam, I'd just like to say the same as the other guys, TALK!

I'm 16 and gay, I'm also half in and half out of the closet, meaning I'm out to some and not to others.

Take care m8.

Hey Adam,

Like it has been said before talk but I think you should talk to the guy who said those things about you saying all that first. and then with him to back you up with the TRUTH you shall prevail!
Remember the truth shall always help you except when you need to lie (Sorry couldn't help myself)
c'mon smile I dare you ;0)

but trust me on the sunscreen (I'm really sorry I'm in one of those moods, It won't last long)
