Let me start off by saying...

I'm NOT trying to be divisive, inciting, controversial, or even humorous.

This is a SINCERE question that has been bothering me for many years. Let's do this! 😉

So, as I have had many flat out Gay and Lesbian friends throughout my lifetime. One question has always plagued my thoughts.

IF! You want, enjoy, desire the same sex as yourself.

Why do SO many Gay or Lesbians assume roles? Such as... One Male seems to act the masculine, while the other seems to personify a more feminine way. Conversely, Lesbians quite often do the very same thing, buffing up their bodies, cutting their hair like a man would, even dressing like a man, while the other is faaar more feminine.

Now I know this does NOT apply to everyone in those respective groupings, Gays or Lesbians, but It is far more common that not.

Speaking as a Bi-Sexual... If I want a man, I want a man, if I want a woman, I want a woman.

Therefore, in my mind I don't understand the role playing thing. I've actually proposed this question to one Gay couple and one Lesbian couple and got no response, just kinda a puzzled look?

Thank you for considering my question. 🙂
