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

Look what we got under our pants.... Either it's a penis or a pussy... you know what they are there for...
I really don't think having kids is a set goal for humans or animals. Animals aren't even able to think about having goals, so you're using the wrong word in my opinion. Humans and animals are able to have sex so they can reproduce and the population doesn't die off. Not every animal is able to reproduce in their life time and not every human is either, whether it's a choice or not.

I believe Homosexuality is a choice. And I have no problem with that at all.
What I do have a problem with is the people trying to ban gay marriage, seriously what is with that?

How is it a choice? Did you choose to be straight?
Could you choose to become a homosexual if you really wanted to? The answer is no. You can't change your mind to be sexually attracted to the same gender. Sexuality is something you have absolutely no control over, a whole lot of gay people would love to be straight but they've accepted that will never happen. People can lie and pretend about it, but it won't always make them happy!
The reason people want to ban gay marriage is because it may go against their religion. Flawed, yet understandable.

The UK Independence Part have written a whole freaking book on their stance with the same-sex marriage 'issue' as they call it, which can be found You must login or register to view this content.. The whole page seems to just repeat the same thing over and over again in different context. Their main concern is how it will affect religious groups, and possible following bills. I'm not sure why, but they seem to have updated their concerns quite frequently. In the past they were worried about teachers having to go against their belief and express same-sex marriage positively to students. Now they're worried about bills that have not even been made? The church of England and Wales can't legally conduct a same-sex marriage if this bill comes into law, not even if the church wanted to. Now the whole 'going against faith teaching' is the most pathetic thing I've heard in politics for a while, and instantly reminds me of You must login or register to view this content. which made it illegal for schools to 'promote' homosexuality. Section 28 was appealed in 2003. Let's say that OK, people with faith should not be forced to 'promote' same-sex marriage. Would that mean our authority figures should be putting their beliefs onto our children regarding other cultural differences? I'm just assuming parent(s) of a gay child wouldn't want them being taught what they may do in life is not 'correct'. They're throwing these concerns out on their little website, but at the end of the day none of them are relevant.

Having gay marriage completely legal is equally as flawed as you'd be forcing the more stricter churches to marry people who they are against.
My opinion is that if a particular church would want to allow gay marriage, then that's up to them. Likewise with churches that wouldn't want to allow it. Leave the decision with the churches, not the government!

You could choose to change. It's all in your mind. It's not like you are born gay, it's not how it works.
It really is different with everyone.

Actually that quite literally is how it works, but thanks for trying.
I agree, when you are born and go through puberty, those are the times that you realize what sex you are interested in. It doesn't matter if you want to be straight, if your were "born gay" then that's how you will always be. You can try and say you're straight and try to force yourself to be straight but in the end you will come to the conclusion that no matter what you do, you will naturally be homosexual.
I personally am heterosexual but I have no problems with homosexuals. I realize it's not really their fault, so why should I be the one to judge them? I wouldn't want to be judged if I was homosexual and couldn't really do anything about it.
