not for me but for some yes, for those small and close minded people. or those who are sooo bound by their religion and cultural belief they think its an illness or a crime.

It's not insulting if it's asked in honesty, he might just be wondering and trying to determine his own standpoint on it. That's what we're here for.

😂I can't believe nobody thought to do this So there you go

@TheMightyAphrodite

Ok i get it. Your a combative person more concerned with winning a fight than engaging intellectually.
Gotta say i knew this already but i was trying to give you a chance to step up.
Oh well.

You are dismissed.

I think it's just another thing. Like some people are left handed. It just is.

That is for some cases. In others, it is from abuse at young ages.

@UnparalleledMonster

not really. its actually only a few selected people who do that and those few selected are those in position of power.
from your reply, i can clearly see that you're not informed enough to give a better answer to my question so i'll stop here but if you're really curious on why i wrote a few selected people then do a little research. you'll be surprised that there is no ''statistical majority'' involved at all ^^

Why? All he did was ask a question. A sincere question. There is nothing wrong with it. People are so incredibly rude.

@bijouxbroussard

lol i don't think so. Just an all too common state of mind

Is being straight?

I honestly don't think he's being rude or homophobic at all. If I did, believe me I'd say. This is an interesting discussion with lots of people making good points.

@Risingwhatever..
Why don't you go and wait on some tables or whatever it is you do in your spare time.. BYE!

@TheMightyAphrodite: Bravo!

Lol Wuuut?

Its a sexuality. That probably was hidden for ages and ages because of the stigma it carries but I am sure its not a new thing.

@ConcreteAngel

You think so? I don't ever remember choosing to be strait. Did you?

It isn't, it's actually very normal to be attracted to both sexes, there was a time when most people were bisexual, it wasn't ever a thing before religion came around and made it a thing.

@NamelessSong

Ignoring the sarcasm, you'll find i described it as the "Statistical norm" which is (obvioulsy) determined by statistics and not by a decision of the powerful minority or anyone else.
You're welcome for the info

Of course not.

LOL

Oh I see he's been suspended now, he's got the circle with the line through it.. or the circle of SW death as I like to call it :P

@Coolman86, you seem very weird too.. so is that a compliment or insult?

*bows* ;-)

@UnparalleledMonster

i was talking about your repply to my question ' who makes the norms?' because you said this .

@Unparalleled - Pardon the interruption, but lets be clear on one thing. 41-45 is NOT nearly 50. Thank u. Please proceed with your conversation.

Homosexuality is a naturally occurring variance in sexual orientation that can be found in nearly all higher species of animals. Stop waving the Bibles and Qurans folks, it's called science.

No. And the American Psychiatric Association (the experts) no longer classify it as such. I believe bigotry IS one, however. 😒

The internet is not a source of information, it simply contains the information from the actual sources.

@Sophia134


And what is your reasoning behind that assertion?

@SouthernBoxer: If you don't believe that, then contact the American Psychiatric Association for starters.

@boxer do you have a better source of information than the Internet? 🤔

Since everything you read on the internet is correct, right?

I simply said, not everything on the internet is true.

Well can't argue with that. But I believe it this time

I am bisexual, and I am not offended whatsoever. He is trying to learn, that is never a crime. So what if he doesn't know that it's not a mental illness... He's asking to find out. Isn't that better than mindlessly making a judgement? You people are unbelievable.

Sophia, the difference between homosexuality and pedophilia is that one involves two CONSENTING ADULTS. And the other involves an adult and a child. Stfu Mary.

@WiltingRose

I guess that depends whether it's genetic or behavioral

@RisingVirginia


Yeah i'm definitely not trying to insult anybody. I genuinely don'y know if homosexuality is a mental illness or not.
I see absolutely no problem with homosexuality. I don't think it's a bad thing in any way. I just don't know if it's a mental illnes

Nameless, that doesn't make any sense. It's either a mental illness or its not. That's like saying "schizophrenia is not a mental illness to me."

A7xqueen: Really you think? REALLY?

Thank you, RisingVirgina.

@A7xqueen: Okay.
I will.
🙂

Exactly, Miss Queen

*Grabs popcorn*

*Grabs more popcorn.*

@TheMightyAphrodite
im pretty sure he's not stupid. it's more, he's pushing and provoking people to talk. the way he write and replies should be a clear sign of that. better to just throw few words to voice your opinion and leave.

@ Unparalleledmonster

and who makes the norms in our society and world in general? and what and where are those norms based on?

Everyone tries to find an excuse for everything said to be racist, bigotry, or insulting.
