Right. Bi-sexuality. Homo-sexuality. Pan-sexuality. Are other forms forms of sexuality right or wrong? Are you religiously or morally opposed? Do you support free will of your sexuality?

Discuss.

Let's just say, if I was homophobic I'd have an angry mob outside my house. Blackpool definitely has it's fair share(and more) of Gay people.

In all seriousness, gays, lesbians etc don't bother me, we're all just people.

You seem to have a pan-sexual sort of feeling but not their stance (Straight, right?) which is understandable and seems the most normal answer.

Pan-sexuals like 'people' and it's no difference between man/woman.

However have you any feelings towards the civil partnership of homosexuals? Or anything towards they're not biologically correct and not how were we ultimately designed (Nature or god, ¬.¬) to be?

what about tri-sexual?

Naming examples wasn't the point of the thread, please try to add some thing to the discussion of sexuality.

I honestly don't mind what someone's sexual preference is as long as it's legal (no minors) and ethical (no animals). You can look at these from two ways either religiously or scientifically. In the religions sense we are all souls/spirits and therefore the gender of our body shouldn't matter because without it we'd be sexless (not male or female) considering it's the specific body parts that make you male or female. In scientific terms we are considered male or female by our body parts but at the same time we act on our impulses that stem from the brain and a brain is not male or female so it also shouldn't matter. If we can love people from a different background, race, religion, social status, etc then why can't we love someone that is the same?

I feel the same way about it as Snakey

Not too get too religious, but since God created everyone doesn't that mean God creates Bisexual/Homosexual/Pansexuals, so why would anyone think that sexual preference is a choice instead of it just being biological

I'm keeping this on a biological level and I don't need to tell you about the birds and the bees but the species to survive it needs the straight relationship, all I was saying is that we were created that way and that we weren't created to have man+man or woman+woman relationships. So the 'straight' are the dominant species obviously and there is no reason for the homosexual existence. Biologically of cause.

[/not opinion]

I perfectly understand that and from biological standpoint it would be eliminated throughout the years since evolution has done so to so many other things. Which makes a stronger argument for choice, but there is lot of scrutiny in society for people who are homesexuals/bisexuals. Why would they choose to possibly ruin relationships between friends and families and have themselves viewed differently. I still think it's something that's out of their control.

It seems that society has to have something to be scared of otherwise it's not happy. Some of the common themes over the centuries has been to keep women down and not let them be equals. Furthermore in our own country (which is still very young), people have tried to oppress anyone with a different skin color especially those people who are black. Those issues still exist, but now people who are homosexual are being targeted, because they are not considered the norm.

God doesn't care if your gay, bi, or straight, but if your going to sleep with everything you can, then there's probably a moral issue. Otherwise if you can live a monogamous lifestyle, I think your soul will be just fine, no matter who you share your bed with.

Sexuality is a part of who we are, whatever you're attracted to, go for it. Morals shouldn't mirror the laws of society. However religiously, as teaching say, they should. So it's quite simple to see how some religious followers oppose all the sexuality's except heterosexual.
A single word should pop up with a discussion like this, tolerance. Though there's a difference between "homophobia" and being "against" homosexuality. A homophobic person would be the one who jeers at a homosexual and are typically the ones people think of when someone says they are "against homosexuality". However, those who are against homosexuality are usually the ones who either don't admit they aren't for homosexuality, or the ones claiming its a "sickness".
In my opinion, I think it's less threatening to see a person preaching it as a "sickness" then a person going out blackmailing them.

Moving on, isn't it hypocritical to say you are for certain "different" sexualities, and against others?
Years ago, being homosexual was taboo, and you'd be shunned from society. Now its fairly well accepted.
In other words "wrong" has turned to "right". So what's to say pedophilia will not become accepted later on? What difference is it? (And remember, there's a difference between pedophilia and rape, by pedophilia I mean the child has given consent) If you say it's not our right to tell someone they're not allowed to have sex with someone of the same gender, what right do we have to tell someone they don't have the right to have sex with a child?

Those aren't my personal beliefs, I just thought I'd bring it up. My beliefs are as follows.
If I don't need to know about it, I don't want to know about it. I don't care if you're bi, homosexual, or straight for that matter (Unless you're a chick and I'm hitting on you, being heterosexual would be important in that case.)

What do I mean by this? I mean the parades, I mean the "Look at me! I'm so different! Why don't you treat me the same?!" attitudes found by so many "proud" homosexuals. Its hypocritical. If you want to be treated the everybody else, then be like everybody else. How are people supposed to accept you if every time they try you start listing off the reasons you're different?
You don't see heterosexuals having parades about their sexuality or being proud of their sexuality. What's there to be proud of?

Another thing, if people don't like seeing straight couples making out in public, they probably don't want to see homosexual couples making out. (Actually, I think homosexual "make-outs" are more accepted then heterosexual ones, provided the people watching are of the opposite gender.)

I don't mind homosexuals at all.

I think if a homosexual coupple is in love, they should be allowed to marry. They have the right to be happy, just as we do, that's what America is all about. A few religious people who's religion doesn't approve, don't have to allow it in their church.

I don't understand the crusade against it. So many outspoken critics end up getting caught being that way themselves. Personally, I do find it repulsive when I see Public Displays of Affection between a homosexual couple, but, what they do privately, I couldn't care less. I want all people to be happy and accepted.

Well, I'm Straight (honest :p), but because of my proximity to London, I've got so many gay/bi friends it's just normal. Genuine homophobes (You always get someone making a comment ironically) are quite few and far between down here.

To be honest, most of the people around this area display metrosexual characteristics and most of the time it doesn't even occur to us. I have to say I got some funny looks coming into LAX last year from the clothes I was wearing (Worst of all, I thought they were quite tame )

i dont care who you shag, doesnt matter to me...

With the type of taste I have in women it's a wonder I'm not queer.

What? Oh, sexuality.

Well, sex is great. Clearly more people having sex is a good thing!

I think someone said something about homosexuality being biologically subordinate. WELL, I disagree. Because honestly, gay people don't give birth to gay people all the time, just like straight people don't give birth to straight people all the time. And the act of sexual reproduction has very little to do with sexual orientation. Nowadays reproduction can be induced without a single sexual encounter between individuals. And even without that, gay people can have sex with a woman to produce a child! It's definitely possible, and it definitely happens!

Homosexual organisms exist all over the biological world - there are many, many animals of the natural world which display homosexual behaviour (that's rooting animals of the same sex, not going shopping and cross-dressing). I was going to quote in a list, but it's JUST TOO BIG TO QUOTE. So yeah, homosexuality is a lot more natural than some people (*cough* conservatives *cough*) would like to believe. But whatever.

Personally, I believe that love is bigger than gender.

I know plenty of homosexuals, so maybe it's just that I'm used to it. But I still believe that there's nothing strange about it, and I also don't really believe its biological. If someone wants to be gay then let them, however I don't see a need to parade around in doing so. I mean, like Rawr said... do you see Heterosexuals doing such acts?

However, one problem I have with gays is they semi-spawned the annoying Metrosexual race. The "I'm not gay but I dress like it."

Otherwise, I believe that Homosexuals shouldn't need to hide who they are, but parading it around it also unnecessary.

I'm intrigued by this "parading around". Do gay people have the Gayboy Mansion? No... "Straight" behaviour is just seen to be normal by society, so no one notices when straight people "parade around" in their heterosexuality. Like, you see many, many, many straight couples holding hands or kissing in public than gay couples (or at least, in Adelaide) - more than just the population gap.

The people that do introduce themselves and present themselves as gay are often over the top though, I agree. But I don't criticise them for doing so. As a repressed minority, it's natural for them to flaunt it.

Im guesssing he meant flamboyancy. Like some gay men, tkaing being gay a bit too far in a way. IDK. hard to describe really...

sometimes that is annoying but cant help their personality right?

Flaunt it all they want; I'll give them a punch in the face just like a would with a heterosexual guy who flaunts his womanizing skills. d:
(I wouldn't really, but the urge rises just the same. Actually, I think it'd be more likely for me to punch the heterosexual guy for treating women like pleasure objects.)

Honestly though, I don't care about your sexuality.. but if you're a guy how can you wear tight pants?!?!
Like really, is self torture appealing to them? It hurts me just looking at it! I feel the pain they should be feeling!



*ahem*

But yeah, holding hands, w/e.
Kissing... ever heard someone cry out "get a room?" Usually applies to heterosexuals; I'm fairly sure it would also apply to homosexuals.
I wouldn't consider either of these as parading.
Floats blocking off traffic when I have to get to work I consider parading. d:

Remember, love is a private thing, I don't need to see people kissing in public, no matter what sexuality.
Don't need more reminders that I'm still single. -_-;
