Dude, really try and get some help.  You clearly have issues that need attending to.  If you're gay or not, this silliness isnt healthy for you.  Not passing judgment, but clearly this is a cry for help.

lesbian,dyke,gay. all are acceptable to me if used politely. but can we also use the word human? Then we wouldn't have to ask are you gay straight etc :)

Gay refers to men that love and are attracted to other men, while lesbian refers to women and love and are attracted to other women. Contrary to popular belief, most gays and lesbians do not wish they were the opposite sex or go out of their way to act like the opposite sex, but are quite happy as they are.

Im bi and i know that now more then ever we are excepted in society however there are always ppl asking "are you gay" no bi means both. Mostly religous women some men get upset when they know a women is bi for some reason it upsets them.

That's one possible "benefit" of being GLBT. We aren't (most) immadiately identifyable. Some times you can bounce between the two world and most of the time it isn't anyone's business. Sometimes you benefit from not being identified. Its not fair but most people do it (straight or gay) to some extent. Acting like you know more about cars so you don't get gouged by a mechanic for example. I don't get offended. But its not a compliment to be called something you are not.

because people are cruel and want to target someone that is different then them. I wish everyone would just leave gay people alone. They are also human beings with feelings!!

I'm sorry, but your use of the word thinking is far too liberal (sorry, I can't find a thesaurus to come up with a less tasteless word and I really don't feel like firing up Microsoft word right now.)\n\nAnd if someone is "alright" with gays, as in they believe that gays deserve to be treated equally, then why are they attempting to use the word as an insult? Is that hypocrisy or irony? Or is it just sheer stupidity?\n\n\nAnd I see yet another S.B.S.N. has struck. I'm going to start counting now as I browse your questions.

How does this relate to the LGBT area, as you are talking about male-female sex?   Please post questions in the correct area.\n\nI would imagine some like it, and some don't.

Thank you sooooo much I have wondered the same thing. I think they feel being gay is something the whole world needs to know just so people do not ask them why they are not with the opp. sex.  Also I guess it makes them feel better

Homosexuals are as God made them.  What they do in the privacy of their own homes is their business.  I am sure there are some heterosexual couples out there who are into some pretty weird stuff.  Everyone is entitled to express their sexual feelings any way they are comfortable.

Why should anyone care who loves who?  \nIt's my guess that most homophobes are repressed closet gays.  What other reason would they have for overreacting to something that doesn't concern them?\nGays want to be married so they can get the same benefits like health insurance as other families get.  \nWho is anyone to tell someone else that who they love is wrong? \nOther than deluded bible thumpers that is. \nI take it as a compliment if a lesbian makes a pass at me.  It's always nice to know when someone finds you to be desirable. \nWhat does that hurt?  NOTHING!!!\nPeople who dwell with hatred on what other people do need to get a life and do something more constructive with their time.

You've made a valid point to a logical end with just one simple question.\n\nTry telling that to the Breeder's, those who are hate-filled, that is.  They won't (can't?) accept it.  It seems that logic in some doesn't appear to be even a minor predisposition.  Go figure.\n\nEDIT:  For zain15in (see below) --\n\nEvery point you made can be equally applied to heterosexual's, and most likely SHOULD be, since the vast majority of child sexual abuse cases are perpetrated by people such as yourself (assuming you are a heterosexual and not asexual).\nIndeed, you posit good arguments against YOUR culture but not ours.\n\nAdditionally, most of your ilk argue that homosexuality is found nowhere else in the natural world.  I'm quite certain the respondent who mentioned that homosexual pairings (not same-sex sex) in the animal kingdom (sans homosapiens) is merely a refute to that tired and baseless argument.\n\nRegarding your comment that homosexuality is a deviation:  I'm certain it is...for those of your ilk.  My view about heterosexuality is that IT is a deviation.  But, such as yours, it is only MY view and holds no great merit.  We are two individuals.  No more and no less.  Well .... except that we, the GLBT community as a whole, have the upper hand in this argument and YOUR war against US is on the wane.  Delude yourself no more.  Accept reality, my good friend.  Accept reality.  As you've stated, we've been here for a very long time.\n\nWe're not leaving any time soon.

I sort of agree with the second responder here, but I'd elaborate.  Homosexuals didn't exist partly because the word didn't exist, but also people didn't think about sexuality in those terms.  These days, we call someone a homosexual and we refer to it as if it is an innate part of their personality.  Among the Romans (and Greeks, and lots of other places in the world), sexual activity of one kind or another wasn't attached to people as an innate quality but just as something people did.  \n\nThink of it this way: lots of people play soccer.  For the most part, we just think of it as something people do, not who they are (unless they are professionals, but I'm talking generally).  But, some time in the future, we might decide that playing soccer is a really important indicator of who a person is, so we'll come up with a name for *anyone* who plays soccer - not just the professionals.  That's what happened with "homosexual" - same-sex sexuality used to be an activity.  Now it's an identity.
