As I said before, it's only a choice in the most literal sense.
Let's separate this out so we can understand it:
I think we can all agree that we choose who our romantic and/or sexual partners are in most cases. The question then becomes does that choice or series of choices represent your sexual status (straight, gay, bisexual, etc). I contend that it does, as actions dictate such things. I do this from what I believe is a logical point of view - you can think about whatever you want and desire whatever you want, but until you do it, there is no way to establish anything. However, burnsy and several others contend that attraction and feelings are what matters regardless of what action is taken.
I've several times used the logical examples of how actions matter and feelings do not in determining a great many things in life. For one of those examples: If someone makes you angry and you think you'd like to kill them, you are not going to be charged with murder unless you actually take the ACTION of killing them. Therefore, thoughts and feelings are irrelevant to the equation.
You may have brown hair, and choose to have blond hair by doing something that's against the way you're wired.
Again, I don't buy the argument that people's sexual status is "wired" into them. I think anyone can choose to be with anyone they wish.
If there is a percentage of people who has a change in preference, as said before, it's very small. I don't look at someone's sexuality as fluid and changing, and my evidence is the number of people around us all the time who do not change their preference.
It doesn't matter how small or large a percentage of people who exercise the freedom to change their mind - the very fact that it can be done is more than enough evidence to show that it IS, in fact, a matter of choice.
It doesn't matter if 99 percent of people CHOOSE not to change their preference - the fact that one percent DO indicates that it IS a choice. Whether or not the majority of people make the choice doesn't take away from the fact that it is a choice - I'm not sure how that's lost on you.
If someone acts gay, it's because they are attracted to the same sex more than they are attracted to the opposite sex. There is no other explanation.
Sure there is. Anyone can act gay any time they want, whether or not they are attracted to people of the same sex more, less, or the same as those of the opposite sex. It's not about attraction, which is but one element that affects people's choices for partners.
That's not an insult.
Yes, it is. You called me something I'm not because of your own ignorance, which is no excuse.
You've said over and over again that people can choose to be gay or straight as simply as choosing a blonde over a brunette. Only a bisexual would think of sexuality that way.
Then I guess everyone in the world is bisexual since anyone can choose to be gay or straight as simply as choose a blonde over a brunette.
Unless you want to contend that someone is forcing you to choose male or female partners, that includes you.
Sorry if YOU can't handle the logic, and your ignorance is no excuse for your poor choice of words.
Honestly, I've met some incredibly ignorant people on this board and on others, but you really take the cake, BL. You're the biggest ******* I've ever met online and that's really saying something.
And don't bother responding. I'm blocking you again because I just can't stand that you are not only this ignorant but try to justify your ridiculous comments through that ignorance.
