Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
This was actually my first transcription on Between the Bars, so I haven't read your original post, but your knowledge of the history and theology of your religion is really quite astounding.
I think we're all too stuck on labels which leads us into a state of confusion and I think that's what your questions show here. Perhaps we should look at sexuality as a sliding scale, one we can slide up and down throughout our lifetimes as we grow and became more accepting of what entices us. I think perhaps a lot of our problems come from how we perceive ourselves, and others, and try to fit in the 'gay' box, or the 'straight' box when humans are simply more complex that that. We are all so very individual and we need to respect the beauty in that. This is what your post has reminded me today. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, and for the complex thoughts you've raised in my mind today.

And just a thought. You say you´re manly looking, there are some gay men who, even though they claim to be attracted to men, are usually attracted to feminine types of guys, and if they are feminine themselves, they probably would expect you to act that way to believe you, but I can assure you that many gay men like precisely that: men. The reason why the "closeters" like you best could be because of the same thing, since you don´t "look" gay, they feel safe being seen with you without people thinking there is a relationship between us.
