Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay... I hope you have permission from Yuki (Desirable Ai) To make this thread.

Secondly, No, Of course not. Straight people are proud of their sexuality so why can't we be? It's only fair. Don't be ashamed of what you are, If people don't like it, Tough s**t for them, We're too good for them anyway.

I dont care if it's right or wrong. I'M BI AND PROUD!!!!!

About me - I told only my friends and parents that Im bi and no one else knows that, but sometimes I wish I was str8 and not bi ...
About you - some people react differently to that, some of them accepted that, idiots tell everyone cause they hate bis and gays(lesbians) ... why ? ... cause theyre scared youll make a move on them cause they think, shortly, not str8s are sexually overreacting, that they will do it with everyone which is so not true ...

I have to admit the idea of being proud of a sexuality has not really occured to me. I guess if you are willing to admit that you are not straight and feel the need to take some form of outward pride in it, there is nothing wrong with that.

Being who you are is what matters, not being what you think everyone else wants you to be. If you are not some Christian straight laced goody goody (not that there is anything wrong with that, mind you) there is nothing I know of that says you are an evil person who will rot in hell for all eternity.

If there is some magic switch that can be flipped to alter your sexual preference, would it not be logical that many people would use it to spare themselves the embarrassment and upset of being homosexual or bisexual? There is so much stigma on this, it's not even funny. I say this because almost everyone I know that is of a certain sexual preference had no say in who or what they find attractive and not. It's something that seems as much a part of a person as their hair colour and skin tone.

I see no reason to conceal such things, but I am admittedly more open minded than most about such matters. (Ask my why sometime, and I may explain further.) There is just no reason to place all this emphasis on being straight, or on hiding who you feel because it does not match what you think others want to see. To live a lie sucks. I did it for many years, and would have been better off had I not.

There is only one thing I can argue about loving someone of the same gender, and that is you cannot procreate naturally with two females or two males. That said, it's about the only arguement I have against it. Are we so desperate for the species to reproduce that a few couples cannot avoid this? I think not.

This is many years of experince talking here. While you should be proud of who you are, you still should not be stupid about ho you tell. I go through my life as a person...not a lesbian. If people find out, fine. But, there are times that I choose not to disclose me sexuality for may reasons--safety being one of several. Also, out in the poffessional world, how appropriate is it for me to be shouting from teh rooftops that i'm gay? Not at all to be quite honest.

I don't hide me sexuality unless I feel unsafe, but I also do not announce it to people that it really doesnt matter whether they know or not. It's all about choosing your battles. Unfortunately, tehre are people who are not tollerant or do not approve of our lifestyle. As much as I wish that wasn't the case, it is, and I have to live in it. I support tolerance orgs, and vote for candidates that I feel will make laws for my benefit, and that's how I am proud of myself.

It's not that I'm at all ashamed of being a lesbian...i am very very proud to be different in that way. Everyone shows their sense of pride in different ways may it be nationality or sexuality but no matter what it is you're proving you have the right to do it, whenever your ready. Only my girlfriend and a few of my closest friends know Im a lesbian...and that's fine with me for right now. Wheather your proud or not comes from within yourself, wheather or not your at peace within yourself...and in my mind that's just how it is.

my mom tells me that if u love something dont be scared to show it even if no one else loves it like
