I know I'm going to piss people off with one of my long drawn-out comments, but I don't give a fuck. We, as a society, are too quick to give out labels.
American Psychological Association defines Sexual orientation is an enduring emotional, romantic, sexual, or affectional attraction toward others. (you can read more on the definition at:

Up until the 1973, it was considered an Abnormal Behavior. It only changed due to political pressure. (

SRD ..... you need to really define yourself. It really doesn't matter what others think. Your statement means you aren't closeted, but open and hopefully honest with your sexuality. Coming out of the closet doesn't just pertain to homosexuality, but just means you are confused about your sexuality and undeclared, whether Hetero-, Homo-, Metro- (don't ask me what the fuck that means, I think someone was ****ing when they thought that up), Uni-, Bi- or Tri- (will try anything once) sexual.
Kinsey Report in the 40's said the over 30% of all men have had some sort of homosexual experience. In the 90's Janus? survey put the number closer to 20%. I tend to believe that Janus is the more accurate results as there was a greater sense of sexual confusion, due to ignorance prior to the Sexual Revolution in the late 60's.
The bottom line to me SRD, if you feel you love another man or the urge to have sex with him, either as a top or a bottom, then in the words of Jeff Foxworthy, You might be a homo. If you are capable of having those same passions for both male and female, then you might be Bi. But if you are willing to chalk it up to experience, then you might be Tri (see definition above).
I bet a lot more guys on here have had an accidental homosexual than want to admit. I know I personally had someone try to give me a handjob on a outdoor sleep over in my teen. I wanted to knock his teeth in, but was too confused by the experience to react that way. I left and went home instead. To this day, my parents don?t know about it, but my brother is aware of it. Until now, I never wondered why my parents didn't ask why I came home that night.
As for the attraction or should I say curiosity about trannies, I just say they are an anomaly, so that makes them a kind of like a Side Show Attraction, not a sexual thing (except in Pred's and Eddie Murphy's cases and maybe Pobs, since he's not getting any).
