Guest blog by Kash A month ago I decided to watch
30 Rock after hearing so much about it. Since my
Netflix account offered instant streaming, I was able to watch the first two seasons without a problem.
While watching one of the episodes, Frank (
Judah Friedlander) became obsessed over Liz Lemon’s (
Tina Fey) young boyfriend.
He kept saying he was in love with the guy, but everyone else knew he wasn’t gay, which begged the question, can you really be gay for one person?
I had this conversation with a few of my friends, and they all disagreed. There was no way a guy can like another guy, without actually being gay.
Some suggested bi-sexuality but this guy Frank was only after one guy, so that’s out of the question.
Occasionally I tell my guy friends I love them but everyone that’s close with their boys says that, especially when they’re out drinking.
I can’t really think of a reason why any guy would all of a sudden decide he likes a guy.
In the past, I’ve found guys like
Brad Pitt, well dressed and good looking but does that make a guy gay?
Is there an explanation for how someone can be “gay” for only one person? Have
you ever been “gay” for one person? Who was it?

i'm half gay for everyone.
I'm gay for Bea Arthur.
My best friend turned Lesbian for about a month, because of ONE girl.
She said she wasnt gay but that she just liked our friend who she was with for a while. Who was pretty guyish but still a girl.
Buuuuut that didn't last long. She soon left that and hopped back on that meat train.
I don't think I could ever turn gay just for one person. That attraction just isn't there for me.
I'm not gay for any man, but there are some men I'd donate a testicle for.
@wherethefishlives@xanga - Lmfao so am I.

i know a lesbian couple who were both with men before one another. both also claim that if they break up they aren't getting with another woman.
@kelly122192@xanga - lol sweet pic!
@wherethefishlives@xanga - Lol thank you =D
That would make the individual bi... not gay...
Lindsey Lohan can, apparently.
Well, technically that would be bisexuality, even if it is for one person, you know ?
I think one could be totally fascinated by someone of their own sex, but if you ever want to have sex with someone of your own sex, you are bisexual or gay all around.
Hmm I don't think you can be gay for one person... It seems far fetched to me. I think that if a guy can be strong enough to admit that another guy is good looking it misconstrued a lot of times. My fiance is not gay, but truly believes that there are couple of guys that are just very good looking. Me, I am bi-sexual, but have not met a woman in a long time that makes me feel that way.
It's already been established that no one is absolutely 100% gay or straight. It's perfectly fine to find someone of the same sex attractive, or good-looking. As far as I'm concerned, go after who ever you'd like! You're a human-being in search for love, we're not here to judge.
im a girl. so its completely different. im completely straight also, but i would turn gay for sarah silverman in a heartbeat. =]
I didn't see the show but I'll assume the attraction was sexual. I doubt if a guy can be sexually attracted to just one man (Either bi or just gay). But I think admiring a guy, in the sense you'd like to be more like him, is a different matter. I think this type of admiration can be misinterpreted.
@wherethefishlives@xanga - lol. Bea Arthur is complete hotness
I claim to be gay for Angelina Jolie, and I find some women to be attractive. However, I can't say that if I were put in the position to have a gay experience with another woman, I would take advantage of it.
i think it can happen. there are different degrees of sexuality in all of us; it's perfectly understandable for a person to be "mostly straight" but still make a great connection with someone of their own gender. A lot of it is probably not that they are "just gay for one person" but rather most of the people in that gender just don't appeal to them. Perhaps there are other compatibles out there for them, but they haven't met them.
Its called a Mancrush or something along that lines... where you don't exactly like the guy... its just a sense of admiration... Something u hope to become or something like that
I think you can be gay for one person. Perception is the key. Whether one identifies as "straight" or "gay" or "bi" is all up to the person deciding. I've kissed another girl and I'm pretty sure I liked it (I was rather drunk), but I also know I'm completely straight...in the same sense, I might go farther than a drunken make-out session with a girl--but I doubt it, only b/c I'm not interested in girls. To each his/her own.
As a human collective, we need to stop trying to label people's sexuality. The truth is, we can't really control who we are attracted to, sometimes. We don't use our reasoning enough for that to happen.
Maybe he is just bicurious.
Brad Pitt's a metrosexual.
@mayanao@xanga - He has gone weeks without showering before. Metrosexual men don't do that.
I think you could act gay around the person, but being in a relationship would be out of the question. I know many guys that are total homos in actions, but it's out of jokes and laughs.... or are they....
think of The Todd in Scrubs.
The Todd can appreciate beauty in both sexes.
yeah, you can know another guy looks good, based on your own knowledge, not based on female friends opinions, and not be in any way gay.
The way I see it, is people fall in love with people, not necessarily genders. I'm straight, but if I fell in love with a person, who happened to be a girl, I would definitely pursue her. I think you definitely can be gay for one person because most people are attracted to a person's personality, and if fall in love with someone, I don't think it matters whether they are a girl or guy.
