I am straight, but I am an advocate for gay rights. Nothing about homosexuality really unsettles me.

In fact, it would make the most sense to me to be bisexual. I do believe that everyone is worth something, love is love, etc. I understand that homosexuality occurs in nature in all animals. So, when people argue against it because 'the point of our race is to reproduce,' I don't buy into it. Besides, as I said, if you love someone, it doesn't matter what gender they are.

I had a debate with my friend in which I was on the side of, "You can't help who you love." He claimed that you could. So I asked him that, if homosexuality was the 'norm,' could he force himself to be gay. He claimed that he could.

I began to question what made people gay. I know someone in my school who is gay and chose to have a stereotype lisp and 'gay voice.'

So, I turned the question around and asked, "Why am I straight if it makes the most sense to be bisexual?" I knew the answer was: Nature. I just am straight. That is the way it is.

My question is, why is it that any of you have the sexuality that you do?

Is it nature, did you chose it, and are you happy with it?

Thanks.
Well, I'm not really happy with mine. I'm bisexual. I knew this girl that I liked, and I tried to stop liking her; to stop thinking about her, but no matter what, I still liked her. I guess the phrase "You can't help love" kinda works for my situation.
I'm straight, because I just am, and happy with it. Actually if I were gay I would make myself straight. The reason. I would HATE having to deal with another female. I know how crazy I can get (I feel bad for any man who falls for me), I don't need that rivaled.
I know what you mean about bisexuality making the most sense - I've thought that myself.

I don't really have an answer except that I am just straight, as others have said. I can look at a girl and think she's beautiful/attractive/whatever, but I don't have any sexual attraction to her. That being said, nothing about homosexuality bothers me, either.
So, why? I have no idea. Interesting that this gets brought up, though, because I was just considering this the other day . . . .
I went through a period when I wasn't quite sure of my sexuality. I had to explore a titch to figure it all out. I kissed a girl and I found it kind of boring. It's not something I chose, it's something I found out about myself.

I think sexuality is a spectrum. You don't have to be either gay, straight, or bi. I'm mostly straight but not completely immune to girl crushes.
Thanks, everyone.

LINC - You're bisexual and you can't do anything about it?

Essalina - You're naturally straight and you think that you could change that if you wanted to?

Tallie - You sound like me - except, I don't have any ability to judge guys. I don't know what's handsome and what's not. Apparantly that's abnormal.

whateverfloats - You are naturally straight, but you didn't know it all along?
I need to correct your poll real quick. Transgenderism has nothing to do with sexuality. It is part of the GLBT community due to having similar conflicts that originate from the same general source. You should probably remove it from the poll in order to avoid further misconception. What you could do, however, is replace it with asexuality.
Thank-you very much.

I am straight and support gay rights as well.

People have a right to be with whoever they want.

Yeah. I don't think this is too strange. A lot of my friends say they're bi but only end up dating guys. It depends on the person but many people do need to experiment a little to be sure where they fall. And some don't. I think it might also be a generational thing. My mum said she didn't even know what being gay was until she was 16. So there's no real confusion if you're straight and don't think there's any possibility of being anything else.
whateverfloats - That's really interesting about your mom.

SpriteAddict - I love your signature. I'm a huge Rent fan. It is actually mostly responsible for my stance on sexuality. It got me thinking about it.
If I love some one, I wont let something silly as gender get in the way.
Iam aware, however, that there are different kinds of love. I take it very serious.
I think my parents knew I was lesbian or bisexual before I did! lol They were totally fine with it though; turned out bi and totally happy with it! It wasn't a choice at all. I just went with what made me happy and what I liked. I've never been one to follow a crowd, anyway.
The only problem is that sometimes girls assume I'm coming on to them when I tell them they're pretty (I'm into cosmetology, so it's not an attraction thing; I think pretty much every woman is beautiful) and I'm like no, of course not. But it's sometimes uncomfortable for them after that. A little annoying, but it's not their fault, it's just society, man.
I am totally and completely straight. If I had a girlfriend, I would stab her to death. I hate females and I can't deal with another person like me. I have a raging temper, and I MUST have someone who can be able to defend themselves against me.
I am 100% gay, I do not have any sexual attractions towards girls. I do not hate them or anything, I just would not date a female.
