I just though of something I heard on the
news a while back. Why is it that it's ok for people to encourage other people to
embrace or explore their homosexuality/bisexuality, but for some reason if
people encourage people to do the opposite they are called "closed minded" and
stupid? It almost seems like people are shuning one side of the argument, and
people struggling with homosexuality are only allowed to hear pro argument.

Does that seem weird to anyone else?

I don't know that I've ever seen anyone encouraged to explore their heterosexuality.

Maybe because that's considered the 'default'.

well, I didn't really mean encouraging heterosexuality. I think people do that all
the time with peer pressure and stuff. People are always encouraged to have
sex. What I really meant was discouraging homosexuality.

oh, i see.

Well it would be kind of strange to discourage heterosexuality, so I guess it would also be strange to discourage homosexuality.

Why would you disourage something that can't be changed. Being homosexual, for some, is natural! It is also genetically and biologically impossible to reverse!

but people are all supposed to have diffferent sexual preferences according to
people encouraging homosexuality, right? if that's true, shouldn't they get both
sides, one encouraging homosexuality and one encouraging bisexuality and one
encouraging heterosexuality? However, as soon as someone says someone
should not embrace their homosexuality, that person is called closed minded,
but people encouraging homosexuality are not called closed minded for
rejecting heterosexuality. Just somehow seem skewed to me.

Are they 'rejecting' heterosexuality?

well, if they're not allowing both sides to be seen I think they are providing a
slanted view. So rejected probably wasn't the best word choice. What I was
saying is it seems like only one side of the issue is allowed to be told to the
person struggling with what they feel.

Well, I would say generally, you don't have homosexuals trying to get a constitutional amendment making it impossible for heterosexuals to get married. That may have a lot to do with it.

Trying to encourage or discourage something which is inherantly pre-determined is akin to flogging a dead horse.

If nothing else it's at least selfish.

I have yet to see where others are encouraged to explore their bisexuality, except maybe the girl-girl thing. I personally would not encourage anyone to explore anything sexually other than what interests them as long as it's safe, legal and conensual. Look, once you have discovered a "bi" side of you, life changes... you will be asking yourself... "how can I like both men and women?" Also, you will wonder when, where and why the attraction to a MOTSS (member of the same sex) came into being and why you can't shake it off as easily you might want. Should you decide to act on that attraction and later "come out" in regards to your feelings, be prepared to get shunned from many "straight" people as well as gay people, including family and friends. Believe it or not, those who come out as bisexual get far less acceptance than those who come out as homosexual due mostly to ignorance from "bi-phobia" .

Me, I am not a "true" bisexual bi definition since I have yet to become romantically inclined towards men, nor do I think I ever could or would... I still prefer women, but physically desire both. On the Kinsey Scale , I'd be between a 2 and a 3 on a physical sense, but in an emotional aspect, between a 0 and a 1. I strongly suggest that one should seriously consider the consequences/ramnifications involved and impact on their relationships before they act on encouragement to "explore" their sexuality with a MOTSS. I explored... I acted... and surprisingly... I liked it and wanted more. FYI - my bisexuality only goes but so deep... so far, however, I would not call someone who wants others to explore their heterosexuality as closed-minded. If one is vehemently against same-sex contact under any/all circumstances and refuses to believe one could be bisexual/homosexual then that person could very well be construed as closed-minded. FYI - the term "open-minded" in personal profiles has mainly become a code word/phrase for being open to same-sex contact or being "bi-curious" .

Oh--I got it at the third post. I understand. As I see it, it's a principle thing. For principle purposes only, I've been having some thoughts about another topic-- There is a BET television station (black entertainment). I don't have a problem with that. But for principle sake: would others have a problem if there was a KET, CET, IET, WET, SET, etc? Probably, so how come it's okay for there to be a BET? And what is BET for/promoting? An entertainment channel/resource for blacks only? No, not really. An entertainment channel to be viewed by blacks only? No, not really. That would be discrimination. So how come it has to be called Bet - it could be called Pet--- people enterainment. There's no point to this post,
other than to offer up a topic that may be considered as
'points to ponder' if you so choose. Most likely, the only thing preventing the existence of like channels for others is because of lack of or insufficient: interest; supply and deman; or financial backing.
