Cultures & Groups - 18 June 2006

I've been thinking this over and I cannot recall the time, day or event that made me choose to be a straight woman.
It just is...and I can't figure out how to determine where my choice came from.

1. . . .believe homosexuals are born that way and have no choice or choose to be because of some reason or become that way because of poor parenting like bad toileting at childhood?

2. . . .believe that on any given day you could identify a homosexual out of a croud of people?

3. . . .know what is meant by the term heterophobia?

I've been out totally since I was 20 and I'm now 26. I've even been "married" to a woman for 2 years (not together now). I'm finding it really difficult in the dating world. There is one woman I cannot get off my mind. I haven't a clue whether or not she's at least bi. I've approached women in the past when I wasn't sure and it has not turned out well. I could fall in love with her.... what should I do? If I write to her, what should I say?

My straight GF and I went to a party where most of the guests were either gay or lesbian. The men socialized with us and the other straight guests, laughing and joking. We tried to strike up conversations with the women, but they tended to stay in a group and socialize with each other. One of my gay guy friends at the party noticed it as well but had no answers for me. Does anyone have any thoughts?

okay, so tonite i had a talk with my parents. supposedly my best friend has been coming to my parents and asking them if i'm gay. i am bi, and i was going to tell her until she started "sneakily" mocking me with my sister a few weeks ago. the only reason (that i can tell) that she's all of a sudden making fun of me (besides that she thinks i'm a *****) is that i've gotten really close to her brother and further from her. seriously, her brother is amazing. i don't know where i'd be without him. so yea.

the thing is, when she talks to my parents, and probably when/if she talks to me, she's really nice about everything and says everything's okay. then she goes and spreads it around, makes fun of it, and tells everyone i'm like f*cking her brother.

my parents both want me to tell her, and i understand because they think she'll be all nice about it. sure, we've been friends forever, but she won't be nice about it. but...she'll hate me if i don't tell her too. any suggestions? thank you.

Of course, all coming outs (comings out?) are somewhat traumatic, but it seems to me it would be a lot less so if you told your family members on an individual basis or when the issue came up, but not in front of everybody!

Because you're gay...

-You have to come out, live celibate, or have sex with someone you're not attracted to.
-Can't get Married in most places
-Can't Adopt in some states
- Face Religious intolerance
- Deal with stereotyping everyday
- Don't have a shot with 99% of the people you're interested in
- Can get kicked out of the house by family
- Get to listen to straight people tell you i's a choice, like they know.
- Listen to a pleathora of false rumors connecting AIDS to homosexuality.
- Can't donate blood (even though they screen it anyway)
- Take a risk everytime you hold your partners hand in public.
- Listen to political bigwigs toss the "gay issues" around for their own purposes rather than from any general concern.
The list goes on....
If you really think it's a choice you're arrogant, am I wrong?

proven it is not?

Read articles from researched and well studied FACTS before you respond:

To make a choice is to assume that you have said to yourself that you have a preference but could easily go either way.We know that most hetrosexual men would never say, "I could have sex with a guy.But I just decided not to."And why would they "decide" to?How can a person decide to be sexually and even emotionally aroused at something that doesn't arouse them sexually or emotionally?

"It's a sin" is also subjective to ones own beliefs and has no bearing as a strong case against anything.

And knowing what two guys do in private only says that if you're not doing it then you're spending to much time thinking about it.

because they should til its gone for the most part. if a black guy calls himself, african-american. thats fine, no one else has to. pride and heritage are for the individual. im not discounting him and im not holding him up in praise bc of where he was born.
ml king sd it well as many have, let us be judged by the content of our heart not the continent we hail from. theres no such thing as dual citizenship in america. other countries do it, but america recognises US only. so if your mom and dad are americans and you were born in europe. you can get a citizenship of that country, but youre automatically a us citizen. so no afreakn american, or azn american or honky american for me. if you want to be then be so for you, the american constitution and civil rights bill protect us from discrimination. they dont hold us accountable to acknowledge anyone at all, let alone their heritage. let's lose sexism 1st. racism will fade shortly afterward, honest injun! God Bless!
