Shima said he confessed first and they went out after that even though nobunaga didn't lik...

i'm guessing that when shima confessed nobu hadn't dated a man before and didn't think he liked men, but dating shima made him realise he was actually gay (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Or he could be mostly straight but gay for the right guy. Sexuality is a spectrum and ppl can be anywhere from the extreme straight end to the extreme gay end. It could be Nobu was closer to the straight end and never considered guys bc he’d never been in love with one. Like I’m much closer to the extreme straight end of things but I could see a scenario where a certain type of woman could get me to fall in love with her. If a woman who looked like a cute guy who spoiled me and was “gentlemanly” pursued me and was my type, I could totally fall in love with her. Sometimes gay ppl fall in love with the opposite sex and go straight as well. My mom is gay and her fav singer was a lesbian folk singer who sang all the songs about strong women loving other strong women. But she fell in love with a guy and married him. If we had less stigma about homosexuality, especially for guys, you’d see it more often. It’s much more acceptable for women to go through a bi or lesbian face, maybe bc it’s a fetish for men. Or maybe bc homosexuality for men is a much bigger deal. It’s wrapped up in cultural ideas about how much of a man you are. Maybe one day we’ll be at a place where the stigma is gone and ppl can be free to step outside of what feels like their lane and experience love in whatever form it takes.

'gay for the right guy' is a super harmful idea but go off i guess, at a comment from april 2 YEARS AGO. also i'm bi so thanks for butting in, person on the 'extremely straight end'

also i haven't read this manga in ages but if he says he is gay, HE. IS. GAY. don't put words in his mouth or make him 'gay for the right guy', thx

What an absolute dick response. You know, I saw someone was confused and I offered an explanation based on current scientific understanding of sexuality and my own personal experience. I’m sorry if you didn’t like my explanation but I was legit trying to be helpful. To put into words that were easier to understand something that can be complicated for some to understand; especially since the comment was written in a way that left me unsure if English was their first language. (No shade-the grammar was off and mangago is populated with many ppl for who English isn’t their native language.) And gay for the right guy or girl is an actual thing. It’s a short hand way of explaining that even very straight ppl can fall for the same sex and vice versa. That love can blossom with the “right” person regardless of someone’s sexuality. I may be pretty close to the straight end of the Kinsey scale but I grew up in the gay community with a lesbian mom, a trans step mom and tons of gay men and lesbians who helped raise me, so I was given a pretty thorough education on sexuality and gender identity. My being straight doesn’t make me unable to answer questions on sexuality and insinuating that it is is pretty asinine. Just like someone being gay doesn’t make someone an expert on sexuality. If you don’t want ppl answering questions that you’ve left then maybe go back and either figure out how to delete your old questions or leave a response to your own question saying you’re no longer confused and would no longer like your question answered. I don’t know if you’re embarrassed by your question (and I don’t look when comments are written so it’s not my problem if you left a question that you now find embarrassing) or what, but my answer is still correct whether you like the way I put it or not. If you think my answer is incorrect maybe look up the Kinsey scale and the work done by Dr Alfred Kinsey and the subsequent work done by the Kinsey Institute. And finally I’m going to assume that you wrote your initial question when you were very young and are embarrassed. Im also going to assume that you’re still pretty young, so I’m not going to go off on you for being a total asshole towards someone legit trying to be helpful. But that being said your response to my good faith attempt to answer what I thought was genuine confusion is rude as fuck.
