Before I say anything, both types are part of my personality. Both are me.
Say I moved to a new city. It is neither big nor small, and right in the middle of the political spectrum.
On one hand, I can be this extrovert feminine-type stereotypical gay male all over the place and then everyone would know immediately "that person is gay." Though I feel I'd be setting the gay community as a whole back a few decades. This is what I am right now.
On the other hand, I could be the person who doesn't overtly express their sexuality, opinions on sexuality or gay stereotypes (Me? Madonna? I guess I've heard some tracks by her). That is what I go into when I go to sunday church with my mom or dad at times. I feel though this would be going back into the closet, lying, and having to explain to people my preferance in a case such as: who want to arrange me on dates with their available sister.
What I'm doing right now has worked out pretty well in the suburbs of Houston, going to the University of Houston Clear Lake in the 21st Century. But could it be easier and/or smarter to later in life, like in the business world, be the second personality design?
