As the mother of gays, RuPaul commonly says "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here?" Simply, loving yourself. Embrace your queerness, your thrive of green-eyed blonde guys, or dark-haired, almond skin men. In my case, a sucker punch in the heart, stomach, and groin if you walk with confidence, dark hair, a subtle rear, and glasses. Harry Potter, the typical nerd or geek, and of course a katana jawline, which when touched is firm, like a statue representing perfection.
Being flawless, impossible. Being perfect, impossible. Being normal, impossible. Being human, impossible. Being the human embodiment of the fly-infested pie slice, asking to be eaten, somewhat possible. However, being you is you, is you, is you, is possible. There is no way to be gay, besides liking the same sex. Labeling is contagious, like the flu, coughing and gagging for air. Gagging, in a sense, also deals with sexuality... but we don't speak of it in my small town "Christian" household.
