Heterosexual people are not allowed to inquire about homosexuality even in the pursuit of understanding?

If you are interested in understanding, the questions can be answered with civility.
When you come in with an attack (e.g., "Because women were not meant to lie with other women. We were not designed that way. And we were not born to crave another womans body."), then you do not deserve civility.
If you ask questions with consideration, you can receive answers with consideration.
Of course, when you start off with a demonstration that you are not interested in understanding, then it's reasonable for people to answer in a manner that fits your intent.

Inquire about yes, but when you say things like two women can't do this or that, I can't tell you how to or the steps to putting a motor in a car, because I have never done it, I might be able to try, but it would probably be incorrect. You are so judgmental about something you know nothing about, and that can be offensive to others, this is coming from a woman that was married for quite a few years and decided that I was not happy pretending to be someone I'm not, however I have lived my life both ways and feel that if I speak on something, I have an idea of what I'm speaking about. Just be careful of what you say, there is a way to ask a question, and there is a way to make a statement. Plus you know what type of questions you were asking, and you know that you were insulting!

Heterosexual people are allowed to inquire about anything. It's thier right, just as it's our right to do the same. I've read some of your other questions (asked today) and I guess I can sum it all up here.
If you want to talk with me about my "lifestyle" then I'm willing to have a conversation about it. As long as it's not disrespectful, mean spirited or a "conversion". A conversation should be an exchange of information and opinions. As soon as it turn into one of those "you are forever damned" or "You're not fit to live" (I've heard that one before) then you're not going to get anything out of me other than silence or a lash back.
Everyone is human, and sometimes we have a hard time communicating. But I'll bet you don't go through your life everyday being condemned for who you love and what you do. That's one of the big reasons that you find we're so defensive here. We should be allowed to be safe, and express our lives and opinions just as much as the heterosexual world.
You might think that what we do is wrong. That's your right. But it's our right to be treated with dignity and that is pretty rare.
Please keep trying to gain understanind....we should do the same......just don't come at us like we are the damned of hell.

Who said that? Of course you can ask if you really want an answer. I think people don't want to answer your questions because you have posted many insulting questions in the past. You do not really want to understand anybody, just get people all up-set, which is mean. Think before you type.

Not true, you have every rights to know what you want to know and understand in life especially in the pursuit of understanding human behaviours.

None of your questions have remotely been in "pursuit of understanding." They have all used pejorative, bigoted, discriminatory language - well OK, except this one.
Please don't couch your bigotry and hatred in anything nicer than the soul-destroying skin into which it fits.

You may inquire, however, phrase the question as such. Not something to cause people to get angry towards you. Don't attach them in the question

By all means ask us a question just make sure you are willing to hear the answer. You have demonstrated that you are incapable of doing that. You are asking questions for which you have already decided what the answer is and are using your questions to condemn those you are supposedly asking the question of.

Just ask your question plain and simple without all the filler that seems to set some people off. Then you will most likely recieve a plain and simple answer without filler.
