What if "Gay" suddenly became "The Norm" ... and Str8's had to conform or suffer condemnation?

Question

Str8 people think all gays should change their behaviors and orientation to the accepted societal norm. But what if the shoe was on the other foot?

Just suppose gay was the "normal and acceptable" standard, and all str8's were discriminated against and criticized...

If str8's think being gay is a choice...

Do they also think - Str8 people could conform to gay desires and behaviors - as easily as they demand that gay people conform to str8 desires and behaviors?

See if you can honestly contemplate your personal ideations and innate tendencies... rather than simply attacking and criticizing the person who asks the question. Do you have enough personal integrity to offer an honest evaluation.

Answer 1

I think that it would serve the bible thumping, bigots right. I don't think that they would be able to deal with the that world as well as gays deal with this world. Gay people are a lot stronger than 75% of staight people because they live outside the norm.

I would have to say that a gay world would be better for the children brought up in it. They would be more understanding and a far less closed minded.

what I don't understand is that the gay "desires and behaviors" are the same as the straights. when you think about it, gay people love their partner, love their children, love going out and having fun. They go to school and to work. They buy houses and cars. Oh my God, that's the same things I do and I'm straight!!!!! Maybe there's something wrong with me?!?

One day (i hope) up-tight, straight, anal retentive a**holes will realize that we aren't that different.

Answer 2

I am straight, and very publicly affectionate with my boyfriend. Recently the two of us went to a play and during intermission had a lively and interesting conversation with a gay couple while we were outside smoking. These two men were as affectionate as my boyfriend and I, yet they were attracting an astonishing amount of dirty looks--for doing the exact things my boyfriend and I were doing! Nothing any of us were doing was lewd or obscene, just a few hugs and kisses. It made me angry. I am not gay, and don't pretend to know what it would be like to be looked at with disgust by straight people just because I chose to kiss my partner in public. I didn't make a choice to be straight. It's the way I am. I just landed on the genetic side of the majority. I think that if I was a heterosexual in a gay world, I would be pretty angry at the injustices. I also, honestly, think I would go through a period of trying to hide my sexual orientation in order to conform. (Which to me is a huge wake up call to all those who say homosexuality is a choice--why would anyone CHOOSE to have straight people look down on them? Sometimes straight people embarrass me.)

Answer 3

I dont understand all of the solutions that are announcing no and going so a techniques as to assert its disgusting and so forth. Your physique is meant to have hair. On a private point, I basically hassle to shave my decrease legs on the grounds that I dont placed on something shorter than capris. If Im no longer revealing the decrease legs then possibly i could get lazy and enable the hair enhance slightly. If there is the uncommon occassion the place Im wearing some thing knee-length i.e. dress then i visit shave my total legs. in any different case, its in simple terms very skinny, gentle hair that I cant even sense and cant be considered from a techniques away. Its a private decision for my section.

Answer 4

I'm str8 and studied psychology. I don't think hom*sexuality is a choice. The only 2 theories that hold the line are 1) it's genetically imprinted 2) it's conditionned in the early stages of sexual development (between 2 and 3 yo) and is, therefor, a permanent state. In either cases, it's part of a normal society and doesn't need "curing".

It's such a sad thing that people don't look for facts before they judge others. Besides, what goes on between 2 adults behind the closed doors of their bedroom is nobody's business

Answer 5

They made a very good movie in Greece about it...it takes place in a "universe" where being gay is the norm and a guy is straight and has to tell his "dads" and they go crazy...lol...there is a scene where gay people go out of a straight club condemning the people in there for being deviant..it is a good movie and a good argument in order to make straight people think a bit more adult and stop chasing us around as if we just like to be this way as if we had nothing better to do with our lives. I always ask the same thing: If being gay was the norm, would they actually manage to feel aroused by a person of the same sex? Do they think that the only thing that keeps them from having sex with a person of the same sex is their values and prejudice and not their very nature?? And pls, no bible references I might as well cite santa claus and his list of bad children...

Answer 6

Heaven....I'm in Heaven....oh wait I am still in str8 hell....

No, but then they don't have to worry about it. There was a film where everyone was gay, and the out of place people were breeders. It was basically what we as gay people have to deal with but in reverse. I think people in the minority will always try and imitate the majority in hopes of one day being equals.

Answer 7

I'm srt8, I know being gay isn't a choice, anyone who says that is an idiot. Actually I wouldn't mind if gay was the norm, I love the gay scene plus somehow I don't think gays would be as cruel to str8 people as we are to gays.

Answer 8

We should all remember how hard it was for us to be accepted and give those who were in the "minority" the right to be who they are.
If being Straight is the minority and Gay was the Majority then the minority must be protected and given its equal rights under the law.

Answer 9

Mr Jello - my brother has just been beaten up because of his sexuality. A couple of guys found out about him, and they thought it would be funny. He has lost a job in the past because of it too.

Why don't you live the life of a gay person for a while, and then come back here and open that smart trap of yours.

Answer 10

I've actually thought about that some. What if it was socially unacceptable to be straight. Would you say then say that being straight is a choice? Its a very interesting train of thought...
