Terms used to describe sexuality

[LITTLEANGEL19]

Heterosexual people mostly class themselves as "Straight" when asked for their sexuality in threads.
So does that mean Bi and Gay people are "Bent"?
I do not think this a very nice way to class anyone.

Is this actually an issue?
'Cause I get the feeling this is just trying to nitpick an issue with something that no one has ever even considered to complain about. I mean I guess the majority of human beings are heterosexuals so alterations from that would seem 'bent' or different since they are the minority. This all comes out of my ass obviously but that is the only logic I could find in this complaint. And if it was true then yeah, it would be statistically and factually correct?

Also, no one classified homosexuals or bisexuals as bent. You did. Stop classing people as such please. Straight is just a word. Because people link it to their heterosexuality does not mean that they believed anything about homosexuals being bent. Hetero and hetero sexuality aren't fluid and doesn't really work well in most sentences besides one with other long classification words I suppose. Why did you specifically say gay instead of homo or homosexual? What does being happy have to do with being gay? Are you implying that heterosexuals and bisexuals aren't happy? No because it is just a word associated with something else and we don't make baseless links to try and find complaints in everything.

I'm not offended.

I did call Bi or Gay people bent, I was just pointing out the opposite to straight is bent.
I am not getting into a argument with you over this.
I will leave it to the Mods/Admim's what they want to do with the thread.

I don't be offended either Bob, I was just stating a fact.
But its very rarely you would ever hear NONE heterosexual people referred as bent anyway.

You were stating a fact on how it might be offensive to homosexuals or bisexuals inadvertently by heterosexuals referring to themselves as straight. I pointed out how it might be offensive to heterosexuals or bisexuals inadvertently by homosexuals referring to themselves as gay. I answered my own question in the end because I had no interest in an argument. I just stated that your point and my point were both baseless and meant virtually nothing to anyone besides people who were purposefully searching for a problem with it, like you and me right now.
