Lots of things affect how people see their sexual orientation. It is definitely not black and white.

You need to slow it down. Read more carefully. If you took the extra few seconds to actually read and understand what has been posted you would realize that you are talking about a completely different thing than the rest of us here.

It probably would have helped you earlier too.

I am 27 now. Honestly, I havn't had a single thought about homosexuality in probably 7 or 8 or 9 years.

I would say grow up a little bit before you make rash decisions. Do you really need to define your sexuality at age 14?

Please tell me you're joking... I wouldn't put it past you to be serious.

What did I write that was suggestive about joking?

I dunno'. I live in Canada where everyone is atheist or if they're religious, they don't even think about it - so the idea of 'coming out' as an atheist seems silly from my perspective. Even if I would move to the bible belt of the US, I'd still be openly atheist.

What exactly does an open and known atheists in the heart of the bible belt get from the religious, anyway? Are there actually chances of physical harm or do they just shun you? I'd fucking love it if a bunch of people who I thought were dumbfucks shunned me, so that can't be the problem.

Normally I'd just be laughing and laughing at your lack of reading comprehension, but I'm just so offended that you threw in that shit about prostitution at the end of your last post as though it has anything to do with homosexuality.

I used to hang out in gay clubs. It is definitely an issue.

Free clue for you. This thread had fuck all to do with sexuality.

Recall yesterday when I said you're a lousy listener? Exhibit A.

'Coming out' is generally associated with sexual orientation - that, and some people view 'coming out' as an atheist silly - so maybe he was making a joke. Meh.

Given his propensity to completely miss the point of what people are saying to him over the last several days, I highly doubt it.
