What numbers say about Gay?
To you, justice and honesty are the two most important things in life. You can easily get turned off by a person's reckless behavior or bad habits. You are passionate when it comes to relationships but cool off too easily. You always put other people's needs and wishes before yours. But you just won't admit it. You never allow yourself to explore your options, do whatever the hell you want to do at the moment, and act as you feel, and not as others expect you to act.
