A very good question.......

Does writing romantic poetry about a member of the same sex?
Does having had a romantic relationship?
Does having had sex?
Does flirting?
Does having spent most of their time in the company of other men (who may or may not have been homosexual)?
Does having been rumoured to be homosexual?
Does having had a sexual attraction to others of the same sex? (Note that all of the former could have occurred without that elusive sexual attraction.)

I believe the question was best answered by Christopher Isherwood...

Paraphrased..... Being gay is not the ability to make love to a man but to be IN love with a man.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
