I think you all have the same problem, and that is having (or at least seeming to have) this innate urge and need to label things, which in this case is someone's sexuality. Everyone is different, and trying to place a label on who and how they love which is so broad (and considered by many to be out of date) yet so limiting is unfair. I urge you all to just shut up and think about that fact that people are people and they are going to love whom they choose how they choose when they choose (assuming that you choose the person you fall in love with... that's a different topic all on its own :wink: ).

? What's all this mess about labels? I'm a heterosexual, I had a roomate once who was homosexual. Madonna is clearly bisexual. It's not a label, it's common sense.

I think the problem is is that you feel that being called something in the vein of common sense is negativity. I guess I should stop calling people webmasters, CEOs of a Fortune 500 companies, and moms. You liberal New Age thinkers kill me :P LOL

If I'm wrong, please show me how.

People can be labelled webmasters cause they are. It's what they do .A mum will be a mum regardless of what she does/says afterwards. As far as love/sex etc go it's difficualt to label as people are forever changing, and differant things are happening.

To add to this, people are also quick to imagine a gay person... Some people think of a gay person immediatly as a person who loves rainbows and is extremely feminine and talks with a lisp, etc... When that's not true. Basically, what I'm saying is, a label will lead to a stereotype, and they do not define their subject well enough.
It's thinking...

WHAT! Dudes...whoah....what is going on? You didn't get what I just said. The labels that you guys think are offensive are offensive because you think they are.

Last time I checked, there was nothing negative about the words heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual. Those are clear, concise definitions.

Like I said earlier, I had a homosexual roomate, and a bisexual girlfriend once. I'm not trying to be negative if that's what you are perceiving me as being. I dunno, I'm confused on what you are thinking I'm trying to say here....

Hmmm, I guess I should stop considering myself a male then...

My brother isn't my brother.....

My neighbor isn't my neighbor...

I think you guys just like to find something to just to say it's wrong. This generation is getting more and more wierder. The sad thing is, I'm stuck in it *sigh*

EDIT: But it's quite ok to label all blacks to speak and act a certain way, right? LOL, you can't imagine the IMs I get from miscellaneous people who see my pic on my site. "How's it going, dog?" and pooh like that...

I have never been physically attracted to a man, as a matter of fact, there aren't too many men I even like. Men are pigs (sorry guys, it's true, it's animal nature). But I do think most people have a little bisexuality in them, although it may be more suppressed in some than others. It seems that it's more obvious in women, because in society they are more socially accepted when attracted to other women. Men (not all but most) get all wierded out if a they think a friend, or someone they know is gay or bisexual. I'd take it as a compliment if a gay dude told me I was hot, even though I wouldn't be interested. As a matter of fact, I like the fact that some men are gay, because that means there's a higher of percentage of women for me to date. ;-)

This is kind of a curious topic. My friend Chris and I used to joke about which guys we would take a bath with. I'm not sure if either of us were ever serious about it, but it was our way of figuring out how much we liked certain people. For instance, I think Brad Pitt is one of the greatest "pretty boy" actors ever, so Chris would ask me if I would take a bath with Brad Pitt. Chris absolutely adores Henry Rollins, so he said he would probably take a bath with Hank.

Neither of us were gay, and I don't think either of us are attracted to guys, but you can have a certain respect or affection for a guy that can border on attraction.

Their point was, there is a serious gray area when it comes to sexuality.

Once again, there are very concise definitions for the words heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual. If someone wants to stereotype something it is very wrong to do (stereotyping, that is...I think some of you read this wrong), but you can't change what they are conditioned to unless they change their thinking themselves. Common sense, people. ;)

Btw, Narcissus, I got hit on by a dude once...in a gay club! He sent his sister over to do it. I thought she was trying to hit on me! What an embaressing moment....and the said ex-girlfriend was their to laugh at it LOL

EDIT: Jared, their is no gray area. Are you gay? No? Do you know anyone who is gay? No? So how the heck do you know? Someone please tell me how you come to your conclusions, because I know how I come to mine ;) Really, if anyone could enlighten me I will listen to what they have to say.

See, I think this is how this thread continues to grow legs...someone injects another version of what the topic was all about, orginally. This is my last post, because this is going to continue getting more and more off-topic because someone will always bring up a new point to argue about, therefore placing the "oh, he thinks that way" arrow squarely on someone.

For the record, I give less than a damn about with other people do. This conversation is here, so it's pointless to discredit it by saying "I really don't understand why people like you really give a flying fudge about what people like to...well fudge" I didn't start the topic LOL! Like I said, I lived with a gay man and I had a bisexual girlfriend. Hmmmm, how does that make me (negatively)care. Also, for the record, I don't agree with the life style. Most of the gay people I've come to know have some serious identity issues.

I thought I'd try to just have a conversation on two on here today, but I see that's impossible with you guys LOL Continue to argue about something....

I didn't freak. How did you construe that by typed words? LOL I'm just trying to have a conversation...but it seems like everytime I have a conversation on DC Emu or Consolevision on a off-topic certain people take it personal. I've always found that really, really wierd.


This is where you got personal, RT:

The "you" was implying that I think a certain way about something, and it was very baseless ;)

My Uncle is gay. He is married to another gay man.

Me, my brother, and two of my cousins had a quite a lengthy discussion with them about sexuality. I think I have a good deal more insight on the matter than you or most peopel on this forum.

Ideals and ideas have changed over the past century. Back in the 1800's a man would admire a mans sense of strength and the beauty of a man was his physical shape - muscles- definition etc...
It is quite normal for a man to admire another mans body, not for sexual purpose, but a way of comparitive dominance. If you like the look of a man, does not make you homosexual. Admitting something that is actually natural is good. Without realizing it, everyone actually "sizes up the competition" as it were. It's natural instinct.

Don't worry about it sick, if you're questioning your sexuality, do it because you actually get off on the male body and not just because you want to admire a muscular/strong man.

I'm just wondering how sick can be saying he isn't homosexual when he doesn't understand the definition. Thats like saying I'm not stupid, but have no clue what stupid means. You can't do that O_o. And all you think its *just* about the sex, but in a marriage/long lasting relationship, there are emotional aspects too. Thats a problem with our society today it seems like, people concentrate on sex more then the importance of actually being compatible with a person. Thats why I feel that the whole wait for sex in marriage that the catholic church teaches is so important, because that means I can concentrate on the *person* not the sex.
