Does getting high make you a little gay? If so, you may just be a “highsexual.” The term, ensconced in Urban Dictionary since 2009, made its way onto two Reddit forums in recent weeks as a way to describe the alleged phenomenon of participating in sex with someone of the same gender or having same-sex fantasies when getting incredibly high. But while perhaps not common parlance, these two threads — “Can LSD make you temporarily gay?” and “Weed makes me temporarily gay. Anyone else?” — are example of a phenomenon that’s been around for awhile. It seems straight guys have wondered about “highsexuality” for a few years, given the plethora of online evidence. Are drugs the key to sexual fluidity in men?
Yeah, what an enormous mystery. Alcohol and drugs lower inhibitions, and people simply do what they always wanted to do but couldn’t because of their puritanical upbringing and the resulting inner self-censorship. Getting high doesn’t “make” anybody gay. They are gay already but afraid of acknowledging it.
It’s really sad when people can’t even allow themselves to fantasize freely without knocking out the inner censor with drugs. It’s not their fault, obviously, but it’s just tragic.
