I say that you should try to treat everyone the same way that you would want to be treated yourself. It should not matter what any ones sexual orientation is. I happen to be gay myself and most people treat me with kindness and respect.

I say to each their own.I don't think that they're nasty and there's nothing wrong with being gay.People at a young age are discovering their sexuality and some are straight while others are gay.I have had gay friends before and I treated them equally as I did with my straight friends.As long as they don't go into detail about their sex life,that's fine.Some people prefer their own sex instead of the opposite.

Because so many people have been brought up that being anything but  straight is wrong. I have very different opinions on that. I'm bisexual, i think that you can make your own decisions with out somebody else questioning you. It's your own sexuality, it's your own choice.

It's the media and the guys who make them look as if it was a moral thing to do. It wouldn't surprise me if they start teaching that at schools. And, it's not only bi girls who do it. It's also girls who are straight, but since a lot of guys think it's cool and a lot of girl's self-esteem is low, then they do it to attract guys. My bf hates girls kissing on each other. It's just ...not normal, specially if you are not "naturally" straight. Being gay isn't bad, but distortioning the concept IS

Becareful not to apply what is right or wrong for you as right or wrong for everybody.\n\nIt is ok for bisexuality to be "not your thing" and you can say no you are not intrested and they need to respect that.\n\nDo not judge aor condemn them. If God made them to be bi- gender loving you may be making a statement that is contrary to God and you will be held accountable if you beating them wiht the bible or condemning them causes a rift between them and God.

There's nothing wrong with liking both genders. Recent scientific studies have shown people are born with predispositions towards being straight, bisexual or homosexual. Its important for you to explore these feelings. Dont attempt to hide them inside, or lay lies on top to make it go away. A few years ago there was a study done in England's mental wards and they found a significant portion of patients had had bisexual tendencies that were suppressed. Dont do that to yourself.

I know a lot of people who are Gay and in the closet.  It truly is sad to think that society will not accept someone becuase of their sexual preference, or gender expression.\n\nBe supportive and understanding.

My best friend is gay, and he gets tourmented and bullied, and people who don't even know him shout things at him in the street. He is the most charming, lovely guy I know, and he has been in a committed relationship with his boyfriend for the last ten years! \n\nIf I am with him, and people challenge him, I get so angry. Why should he be denied the right to live his life the way he wants? He's not doing anyone any harm. I always, always stand up to homophobic people. I got beaten up once because I was defending a 'faggot'. \n\nPeople are ignorant and stupid and it makes my blood boil. I will fight homophobia, and anyone be damned who dares challenge me on it!

No one has the right to judge you in that way. Bi, straight, gay, we're all human beings and have the right to be treated as such.  Don't take any crap from them. Live life the way YOU want to. And if you take offence, you have rights under the sexual harrassment laws.

... you're a girl? (my inference from your name). Well, girls TEND to be more open-minded than guys, so it's good that you're at least not going, "Gross! I don't want to be this way!" like some b*tch in denial. lol Sorry, I've just met so many of them on this site... anyway, it COULD be that you're bicurious or bisexual. I personally believe that EVERYONE is bisexual, but whatever... I myself am omnisexual, so there! Why not like both sexes? There's nothing wrong with being bi. *shrugs* It just means more for you to choose from.

Because many people feel that it is morally wrong to be bisexual or a lesbian. If course much of that feeling is based in their opinions about their own sexuality ("I'm straight therefore everyone has to be straight").

Well, all I can say , is what does your heart tell you. It sounds like you are confused. You have to think about everything, rationalize a little bit, think about the pros and cons and why it may be right or why it may be wrong, then YOU Decide. \n\nI have my opinions about that. I don't agree with it, but that is me. I would never turn away from someone who is gay, it's not my business and it is certainly not my place to judge someone. \n\nIt's your choice , do you feel like it's wrong? remember everyone has their opinion. ;)

Think of it as a whole spectrum, not just 3 categories.  On one end of the spectrum, you have completely straight, on the other end, you have completely gay, but in between there are all sorts of levels of preference.  If you can be with a girl AND guy at all, you're bi, but you seem to prefer men; and that's fine.  I'm also bi but prefer men (and I married one).  By the way, once is "normal" for a guy, and anything more than that is impressive.  :)

I absolutely agree with you.  There is a ridiculous amount of discrimination based on sexual preference.  It nauseates me to read some of these answers.  \n\nFor example, astro thinks that gay people are misfits.  Well, there is bias in that because looking at the number of people in prison, I have a good mind to say that the majority are heterosexual males who have a hard time controlling themselves.   \n\npngarrett doesnt want to have homosexual lifestyles shoved down his throat because he (or she or whatever) does not go around saying "look at me I'm heterosexual."  Well, if this person has ever held hands with his or her significant other, kissed, been publicly married, etc, then he or she basically HAS gone around saying, "Look at me.  I'm a heterosexual."\n\nAll the religiously-based crap is just that: crap.\n\nApparently, fdf1925 is misinformed about what homosexuals actually want.  I don't remember seeing anyone asking for special rights.  I DO remember seeing many people want EQUAL rights.  And for the "normal laws," I am wondering which laws would cover insurance benefits, civil rights, and freedom to be who you are without chastisement for homosexuals?  I haven't seen any yet....And for the heterosexuals not displaying their undies or their sex life in public, I would like to remind you of nearly EVERY bit of advertising that goes on in this country.  SEX SELLS.  Undies do, too.  Patrolling for young people??!?!  WTF?  just...wow.\n\nihelp is a smart one...apparently homosexuality is addictive.  I guess that it should be cut and sold by the pound.  Could get expensive, though.  When we choose to be addicted to this drug called "gay" we might come to the realization that only rehab can help...get us off the "gay" and return to a normal and healthy co-dependent marriage and have children which will be educated to think that the "gay" drug is one of the most addictive.  o_O right.\n\nanna1 claims to not want to "hurt the gay paople" but her statement does just that.  She is setting up the division between "us and them."  How thoughtful.\n\nDonna M Z must think that the Bonobo monkeys are unnatural as well.  If hers is a religious belief, that homosexuality is "unnatural," then I challenge her to read up on some of the primate species who actually DO enjoy sex for the sake of it...doesnt matter which sex the other monkey is.  If "god" created the Bonobos, they are "his" creatures, and they behave in such a way, then I would have to say that God made some gay monkeys!  Yeehaw!  Nature is what it is, honey.  I hope you have a gay son- that way, you will have to call youself UNNATURAL because you bread the beast.\n\nI'm sorry, but I don't even have the energy to deal with str8_2_it.\n\nGOOD FOR YOU yodasminion!!!  My kind of thinker.\n\narikinder "doesnt have a problem with gay people" but wont ever support anything for them.  ok....he discounted his statement altogether with that.  \n\nSO essentially, I have no answer for your question.  Just thought I would make these people feel the same way homosexuals have been feeling for way too long- that is what you feel and what you know to be truth for you is made fun of, ridiculed, told is wrong, forced you to feel hurt, shame, embarassment, etc. I just have one question for all of you people who seem to think that homosexuality is a choice:\n\nDo you honestly think that people would CHOOSE to be treated the way bigoted heterosexuals treat homosexuals?  Do you honestly think homosexuals would want that?  That ANYONE would want that?

It's bullshxt. I totally agree. Who are straight people to say what gays can and cannot do? Are we not people? This country is TOO fxcked up.

People fear what they don't know, some people just cannot accept the fact that not everyone is like them nor should they have to be. We are all individuals with certain qualities that make us unique and who we are. Bisexuality is actually something that we all have in us however not everyone would accept that fact not would they act upon it. I beleive that being attracted to our own sex if normal . Some people can accept that and not experiment and some do experiment and find it gratifying. To each his own and no one should ever condem anyone for their preferences. I would say that you should do what you need to do\nif you are happy with it however you don't need to make it public.\nWhy not let that be something you explore discreeetly, not everyone needs to know.  So just remember this bisexuality thing is normal and do what you need to do.

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)
