Which Is It?

This one says no. This one says yes.

Internalized Homophobia or just plain self loathing? Which is it? Are we just randomly labeling or is this really a condition? I wonder. I don't like to label or categorize. It's demoralizing in some ways. It leads to inappropriate conclusions. You're gay so, therefore you are X, Y or Z. Stereotyping, Grr.

Gay may be an adjective, but it is not a definitive label. It's one of a dozen descriptions, but it isn't what makes a man honest, trustworthy or responsible. Or lacking. So, a human can be self-loathing and engage in self destructive behavior. Can this apply to a man (or woman) in terms of the self loathing one may feel about their orientation?

Good grief, I need sleep.
