question - Page 6

I remember this young college co-ed who had a group of friends who were proud of their predominately lesbian preferences. During that time, she professes lesbian feelings as well. Until she met a certain person who was male. They both fell madly in love, and she admitted to pretty much ditching the lesbian scene, once and for all. Anne Heche comes to mind, too. 

Yes, indeed I do believe this anecdotal story illustrates there are choices being made all the time pertaining to attraction, and probably the reasons are as individual as any for a young person coming into their sexuality.

This thread sucks.

Sin is very beautiful and attractive. But there is venom inside the apple.

I sense a lot of fear here, sad.

That is a typical scare tactic from yourself. You have the one Pollyanna argument all sewn up. I get that. It is comforting, and like I said before, we parents want a world that makes sense for our kids. 

Go ahead. Talk about love instead, something as fickle and ephemeral as that. Contrast that with the permanent differences presented by our bodies. 

Love makes it all go away, or so we hope. 

The hater card is always played, true. I am glad my parts match up with my head. What could be sad about that?

 

fear of a gay planet - too funny.

Well you'd better thank your lord that whats in your head DOES match your bits on the outside;

not everyone feels that way, Bee, and who are you - any of you - to claim you know better than

those people for whom life isn't so simple ?

 

Red, you probably know already but don't want to accept,  many times most of those churches

which claim to have members 'saved' from being gay have been challenged to actually front

up some individual who this applies to ... and when it boils down to it, none of them ever can.

If they cannot produce ONE person to which this has happened, how are they supposed to

be credited with thousands ?  Let alone 100s of thousands. 

Bee,

are you gay? Then how do you pretend to know? Did you choose between the 2 sexes? Or did you just know? I have both male and female family who are gay and there was no choice. I also have an in law who was born in the wrong body I suppose that was a choice also.

hater, lmfao. Keep grabbing at nothing Bee, as you have nothing on me and don't know me  but you keep at it. Lol

Hundmutter,

Your indignant response which falsely attributes me with claiming to be better than other people, is why these conversations are so hard to have. No where did I say anything about being better than any one. It becomes like the Emperor's New Clothes when one talks about the disproportionate amount of time focusing on the much maligned gay couple has become, for example in TV media programming. How dare the obvious when being observed or presented triggers the defense of: Let's accuse their morals instead! It is absurd.

I have not once, not acknowledged the differences. You are the one('s) saying it doesn't matter. That would seem to be an attempt to NEGATE differences, to level the playing field, so to speak. For instance, if there is no brain sex, then yes, it would never have mattered to any one using surgery to correct their percieved disparity? Politically, aren't sex change operations acceptance part of Obamacare? Is this made up then, now? That something like this therapy and operation has the purpose and corrects, something, medically?

I am more inclined to believe that most people are pretty much consistant and settled with one sex attraction. Certainly not all! I am sure you have a great personal story that you aren't going to share. And for the record, I don't care for the purpose of this discussion or harbor any bias on which ever way that is, or how any one became self determined.

I am hoping GSD Admin has some recent stats to share. Maybe that will help this thread.

Can gays find love and raise families? I am sure some can. Just as some probably should not. No different than the sum total of the entire human population.

 

 

Bee,

you say a lot to say nothing, this thread is about choice or not.
