(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Important note: This is a very touchy subject to some people and rightfully so. Whilst negative comments about any given sexuality are OK, pointless and unnecessary bashing of other people's sexuality will not be tolerated. Once you cross this line your post(s) will be deleted and you will be warned, and if you persist you will be punished for flaming. I know this is a very strongly worded warning, however I feel given the thread topic it's utterly necessary.


Anyway, onto the debate itself- sexuality. There are many different labels of sexuality, so I'd thought I'd list them below(largely C/P to save time, if I missed any or falsely described anything let me know):

• Heterosexuality- Is the sexual attraction between members of the opposite sexes such as a man attracted to a woman and vice-versa.
  
• Homosexuality- is the sexual attraction between members of the same sexes such as man to man and woman to woman.
  
• Bisexuality- Is the sexual attraction to both the opposite and same sexes such as man to man and man to woman, woman to woman and woman to man.
  
• Asexuality- Is also known as nonsexuality which is the lack of sexual attraction and sexual interest towards others.
  
• Polysexuality- Is the sexual attraction to more than one gender but do not wish to be known as bisexual as it implies that there are only two binary sexes, do not confuse this with pansexuality ('pan' meaning all) and ('poly' meaning many).
  
• Pansexuality- Is the sexual attraction towards people regardless of gender also known as omnisexuality. Some pansexuals refer to themselves as gender blind as to them gender is insignificant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
  
• Transexualism- Is when a person identifies themselves as a certain sex different from their own biological one. For example a person may be born male, and is uncomfortable with their gender as a male and changes to a female, or vice-versa.
  

Personally I'm heterosexual, however I have no problems with other people expressing their own sexuality and being who they really are.

Feel free to comment below and be honest, then hopefully this thread can be used to maturely discuss sexuality away from the nonsense you so often see elsewhere

im not fussed if someone is gay and what not

I think the fact that sexuality isn't a choice just flies straight past most people.

I don't see why anybody would CHOOSE to be gay, you and your partner couldn't naturally have children plus you have to put up with people being discriminative towards you. It's something which you can't help and you have to accept I suppose.

That's why I respect the LGBT community.

I like girls. The end.

Heterosexual. I just love and find women too interesting to ever change my mind. I have no issues with other sexual orientations. I do get annoyed when people say "I was born this way or I was born in the wrong body". Listen, you shouldnt have to justify why you do the things that you do. If you like the idea of male on male interaction then you go ahead and pursuit your desires. Just dont bring that bs on about being born incorrectly and blah blah.

Hetero

Not at all. I'm fine with people publicly expressing their affection. It doesn't bother me one bit. I knew a homosexual guy(we'll call him mike). Anyhow, Mike is a pretty cool guy he spends his days working and living towards a bright future. Mike is a great guy and I respect him completely for the rightful person that he is. However, I simply didnt like the fact that he made excuses for the things that he did. He always brought up the idea that he was born gay or "that god put him in the wrong body". I completely overlooked the fact that he was a homosexual because it didn't bother me one bit. The fact that he made excuses, as compared to someone that is just gay because its simply their preference was a bit of a nuisance for me. I hope that makes it more clear. All in all it wasn't a big deal as to end a simple friendship, but it was just a peeve that I had with self acceptance and self love.

So your peeve is that you think when people say that they're lying? One doesn't choose their preference. I like Coke more than Pepsi, but it isn't because I choose to.

I can respect your view on this matter even though I dont necessarily agree with it. And yes, I did choose to be hetero. The mind is a complicated and believing that you are born gay is completely unrecognizable. Thats great if you truly believe it and go by that thought, but I'm more about facts and as it has not yet proven that you can be born a homosexual. I simply believe that you are hetero up until your mind starts going through its extreme hormone stage. No one is really "born" gay. Minds wander and get curious. Experimentation occurs if the person has enough self confidence to further explore their wishes and desires and some end up liking it; others dont.

You're clearly taking it personal.. Its difficult to have a conversation with someone who's completely close minded on the matter. Even after very respectfully agreeing with you on certain matters, you still manage to somehow twist it completely to make yourself think that you are right on the matter. You know, just because you live it doesn't make you the expert of IT. So why is your argument any better than mine? Why is it that you see me as a naive person, but in your head, you are somehow a genius? It's these kind of things that push people away from actually having an intellectual conversation. It only proves that you're afraid of being wrong and arrogance takes you nowhere. Going back to the quote you posted. I realized that it came out a bit sloppy, but in my defense, I was on my ipad. By all means though, completely ignore that fact and point out more of my grammatical flaws.
