I say it isn't wrong to be proud of your sexuality. Your sexuality is your life and nobody can change that but you. I am bisexual and I don't care. I have an awesome g/f who loves me for who I am and was afraid like I was to telll each other we loved each other because of our pride.
Now. here is the definition for pride:
Pride:
A sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect.
I think people with a different sexuality should have pride in what they are. I mean feel special and happy that your gay/bi/les and don't let people bring you down because of it. I mean so what if people make fun of you, be proud of who you are and stand up for yourself. People who are like that are just afraid you'll ruin them or their perfect society in there eyes, but nobody is perfect.
wink
Did ya know though that Vidicis in the bible says people can't have relationships with the same sex, but it also states that you can't eat shellfish and other things people still do today? I mean what let's listen to only one of these rules and still disobey the others? Vidicis was also put on the cross and doesn't work anymore so really we aren't really sure if god really doesn't like people like us, but I do know that I love who I do and nobody can change that because my love is love and so be it.

I don't think that it is wrong to be proud of it. What I think is wrong is the people that narrow minded and think that it is wrong those people need to open there minds and realize they are many things that are out there and that thy are not wrong that they are just different.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of who and what you are. There is a difference, though, between regular pride and ridiculous over-compensation. I, personally, don't like things like pride parades, and I don't like things that flash around alternate lifestyles like they're a fad or just another flash-in-the-pan, pop-culture creation. It bugs me when people use their particular status, be it race, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else, as a way to garner attention, or as a crutch.
Being gay is about being gay. Ditto bi or hetero or whatever else there is. Being gay is not about being better than anybody else, or flashier than anybody else, or more open or understanding than anybody else. Being gay doesn't make you special. (Once again, ditto bi or hetero.)
Everyone should be proud of what makes them unique. I'm an artist, and I'm proud to be one. I don't care if half the world hates artists... I love being one. So why shouldn't I be proud of something like sexual orientation, race, or gender too? I'm a woman, and proud to be one. I'm Irish/German/French/etc. and proud to be all of those. I'm white, and proud to be white. I'm open to the idea of having a relationship with another woman... why, of all things, should I be ashamed of that?!
So my answer to you is you should definitely be proud of who you are. You don't have to flash it in other people's faces, you don't have to use it as a weapon. (I'm not saying you do, I'm just saying you don't have to.) You don't have to be into any particular scene, you don't have to take part in pride parades, you don't have to wear the rainbow parafenalia. You can just be proud of yourself and love yourself for who you are... that's all you need to do. But no matter what you do, don't let anybody convince you there's something wrong with you because of the way you were born.

Shadow15 GO AISLIN!!! That's what I am talking about!! Yeah, and you also mentioned Leviticus in the bible, and you were absolutely right. Leviticus states that you can't have sexual relations with a member of the same sex, true. But it also tells you how to sell your daughter into slavery, how to appropriately buy slaves, and how long to abandon your wife after she's given birth to your child. (And, by the way, you have to abandon her longer if she has a girl than if she has a boy.) So who, exactly, are we listening to when we decide that homosexuality is wrong? Who are we referencing? Leviticus, the person who decided we can't eat shellfish, can't be near a woman after she's given birth or while she's menstruating, and that informs us of the best way to sell our daughters into slavery? Hm. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Evil~Panda~Dictator you took the words right out of my mouth^^ I tend to do that a lot. I'm glad everyone here can agree, though... I'm always hoping that I'm not saying anything objectionable or offensive. Thanks for the support!

I find that before I was gay/ bisexual whatever the hell I am that I found it was harder to believe that you could be happy with your sexuality. It's weird when your the one that has to defend their sexual preference because your in their shoes and you now know why people don't come out for years because it is so akward.
Even though I told my friends about my sexuality, I find it weird talking to them about guys I think are hot (btw I am a guy in real life, not a girl sweatdrop .)
Anybody feel the same?

nothing is wrong with it, there will always be some a*****e that thinks there is.
Just be yourself and don't worry about other people, believe me when I look back at all the stupid stuff people said to me in high school it's so completely useless and irrelevant now its even funny that it used to be an issue to me. biggrin
