Not quite gay Not quite straight.mp4

Aussie TV host contributes to Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" project: real stories for young people dealing with their sexuality. If you're not sure if you're gay, or if you feel you just don't belong anywhere because no label fits, then I hope this helps.

I watched this, loved it, and then closed my computer.. just to realize that i had not cliked the like button. I turned my computer back on just to do so :P That's how awesome, and right you are!

My belief is that there is no homosexual, no heterosexual... We are all just sexual beings. Attraction is attraction. It has nothing to do with gender. People are just attracted to other people. It's that simple.

You Josh I started watching you at Brink and thought you where really cool. Today I find this video and I am very happy you actually think this way. Little crash on u..

Does Australia have a generally open attitude towards gays? While I was there, there certainly was a blokey attitude for Australia's men. Fortunately, I was perceived as straight and had no troubles in Aussieland. Perhaps it's just my impression of the small subset of guys I met there at uni.

This guy is cute. I want to make him my husband. On the other hand, after a year of G'day, I'd probably want to ship him back to the outback and find another handsome fixation. After a few decades of this, I'd die a lonely bitter forgotten old man. On my dying breath I'd say...G'day.....g'day....pffft­tt..... ..............................­...

Its sad that humans require "labels". I think Alfred Kinsey had it correct when he said that sexuality is not fixed but rather that we tend to fall somewhere between the extremes. No one is totally "gay" or "straight". If we were we would be incapable of developing sensual relationships with people of either sex. Friendships require attraction as much as sex buddies. We all seem to have the capacity to feel attraction at various levels to both genders. Labels are unnecessary.
