What is your opinion on Bisexuals? I don't pay attention to sexual orientation.

What do you feel towards the both of them? They're human beings like every other transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, intergender, asexual, ally person (if I left out a few, I apologize).
Are you against, supportive, or "Just Go With It" towards them? I don't care.

Why have you chosen to be...Straight?
I can't remember choosing to be straight.

I also really don't care about people's sexual orientations. I would think that answers the rest of your questions.

I don't understand?
Implying it's a choice?
But okay

Why have you chosen to be
...Straight?

...

What is your opinion on Bisexuals?
What is your opinion on Gays?
What do you feel towards the both of them?

Nothing at all, depends on the individual.

Are you against, supportive, or "Just Go With It" towards them?

I think everyone should be given chances and rights. As long as nobody enforces their sexuality to anyone there's no problem. I have 0 problem with bisexuality and homosexuality.
I don't even identify 100% straight but not really anything else either.

(Also OP I don't think your intention was for this thread to go this way, I wouldn't suspect you to have anything against homosexuality and I'm assuming you just want to know what people's stances on it are. However I think you're now properly informed about homosexuality not being a choice, hope it helped. I think it's offensive to most people to say their sexuality is a choice, so if they respond unfriendly it's most likely because of that. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ )

Why have you chosen to be
...Bisexual?


........Ok.....I like you, so I'm not going to shout and insult you, I shall try and correct you in a kind way.

Your sexual orientation isn't a choice and more than being born with legs is, you don't decide what you are, you don't wake up and go "Well, guess I'm gay now", you are born like that. Please, please understand that. You DO NOT decide your orientation, it's not something that's up to you. It's something that just is.

Understand? It is NOT a choice. If you where any orientation other than straight you'd understand this from the start.

ROTW :arrow: Teen Sexuality
This is more of a survey than any debate.

Also, the survey's flawed as it seems to be based upon the idea that sexuality is a choice. It isn't.

[Babs]

I was going to fill out this survey but it's extremely odd to me.
People don't choose to be gay, straight, bi or ace.
I'm not sure what you expected us to say in regards to our opinions on other sexual orientations. I don't really give a shit about people's orientations, as I have no reason to unless I'm interested in dating them.

[Karkat]

Why have you chosen to be
...Bisexual? I chose neither to be bisexual not (grey) asexual. It's always been a part of me.
What is your opinion on Straights? They're human. I can relate to certain ways they feel, but not to others.
What is your opinion on Gays? They're human. I can relate to certain ways they feel, but not to others.
What do you feel towards the both of them? Indifference; a person's sexual orientation does not affect my view of them. Actions, and personalities affect my view of people.
Are you against, supportive or "Just Go With It" towards them? This is rather irrelevant. It isn't a choice, so my support or lack thereof is about as relevant as my support for my mom being a biological female.

Understand? It is NOT a choice. If you where any orientation other than straight you'd understand this from the start. One can choose. Choice is there. I chose not to date or find out what I am but I know females aren't my attraction. This person may not know. Besides Straight people are not beneath you. He still wouldn't get it even if he weren't straight because that would be the only thing he knows. Personally I am not a people person so I keep my distance from everyone including the political and politically left and far right. People are just crazy to me.

[Elysium]

The choice of the matter lies within the people you actually pursue, not the people you're attracted to. In this context, I agree that the logic/wording is flawed; the way you're talking about it, there is no choice involved. There is choice in accepting it, but not being it. Does that make sense?

Also, there are more sexualities than those three. I'm not straight, I feel nothing special for anyone of any sexuality (though I encourage and support those who aren't straight). I think that answers your questions.

Since when does sexuality have a damn thing to do with politics? Politics may have chosen to make sexuality into some hot topic, but there is nothing inherently political about sex or sexuality.

It's proven to be that way. Recently I just ot hate mail involving that. Clea err ly those of certain sexualities are very loud politically. Sexuality has everything to do with politics. You're cursing me now which hints at lack of diction. I have yet to meet one of the LGBT who are not extremely liberal and antitheistic. Like I said, I'm no people person.

-I'm neutral. I hate politics.
-I'm a theist. How many times have we had this discussion?

And I wasn't "cursing you out". If you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly one to self-censor. There is a swear word in practically every other sentence of mine.

YOU are choosing to see it as that way. Which is somewhat ironic, because you're spouting out something here that is akin to "this is why democrats are bad" coming from a republican, and vice versa.

Which is WHY I hate politics.

It's not that you haven't met one, it's that your prejudices CLEARLY take over. Anyways, this is getting off-topic and pointless.

Can't answer any better than this.

[CrazyPerson101]

Bisexuals,
Why have you chosen to be
...Bisexual? I didn't really choose per say, I've liked guys since I was 8 so... yeah
What is your opinion on Straights? They're cool, wish they weren't sometimes, alot of guys are cute ... but str8 :/

What is your opinion on Gays? Awesome, they're just like everyone else but like the same gender which is TOTALLY cool :)

What do you feel towards the both of them? I feel the same, sometimes I think they're missing the best of both worlds but then again, its their choice and whatever they choose is awesome :)

Are you against, supportive or "Just Go With It" towards them? I'm Supportive and one day I do hope that all this crap about being gay and or anything other than str8 passes over so we can all live our lives without being judged and we're all seen as equal people and not looked down on :)

(Please Explain In Detail, For All Answers)

There you go :)

[James Dean]

Gays,
Why have you chosen to be ...Gay?- I didn't choose my sexualiy. I can't help what I'm attracted to.

I think what you mean is why did i choose to accept myself? I didn't like living a lie and there are so many groups and allies and famous celebrities who are fighting the same fight I am. Didn't want to be alone and hope that me accepting myself, I can inspire others.

What is your opinion on Bisexuals?-I am one myself but it's a hard topic to explain. They just love who they are attracted to. Though guys are often really gay but label them as bi sometimes. Usually girls are more open to bisexuality and it's accepted more with girls.

What is your opinion on Straights?-No problem. I have many straight friends as allies. There aren't that many ignorant people left here. They support me.

What do you feel towards the both of them?-I love everyone and as long as they are nice and aren't bigoted and don't hurt anybody, I'm fine with them and we can be friends. That's only a small part of someone's life.
Are you against, supportive, or "Just Go With It" towards them?-Again, I love everyone and sexual orientations don't matter to me. I Just want people to accept my sexuality and I don't force people to like my lifestyle, just would like for people to understand that I'm just like them accept we have different sexual orientations. We all should get along regardless.

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

Yeah, I didn't choose. So umm... =P

[JacobIN]

You don't really chose to be gay/straight/bi... Just happens.

[Gwen]

Straights,
Why have you chosen to be
...Straight? I used to have a lot of thoughts about guys earlier in life, but I think it would be easier for me where I live and for my family if I just stayed on being straight and Christian.
What is your opinion on Bisexuals? As someone who has thought of being bi I have no problem and think more people need to accept others no matter their sexuality.
What is your opinion on Gays? Basically the same as above.
What do you feel towards the both of them? It doesn't matter, love is love no matter the gender.
Are you against, supportive, or "Just Go With It" towards them? Supportive, just because I don't accept the diffrent side of me, doesn't mean you guys shouldn't. If you are gay, bi or whatever just live with it and be who you are.

[CosmicNoodle]

Your implying that I think straight people are below me, I do not, in any way.

And what you said "I chose not to date or find out what I am but I know females aren't my attraction" that means you chose not to indulge your wants, not that you chose not to be gay. Look at all the evidence against what you have claimed, the MILLIONS of people that say it's not a choice, and you still think it is? Why? Your religion says so? Please explain how you came to that conclusion.

I myself didn't chose to be Bisexual, I tried to be straight, I really did, I hated being Bi, but I couldn't, sure, I could decide not to indulge my wants, but I cant decide not to have them. Being gay isn't a choice. Nether is being Bi, oe is being male, or female, or having 1 leg. You have as much control over your sexuality as you do over the rising and setting of the sun.

You seem to have confused choosing to be something, and refusing to indulge in something. Please think before you speak.

How dare you! My lifeline, family, and sanity hangs at a thread with the scissors being my sexuality. Why do non heterosexuals insist they can't control their actions. Plus my sexuality has proven dangerous with obsessions, weird taboos as likes, and liking people who'd love to see me suffer rather than love me. And you do chose what you want. You can be bisexual but you don't have to be trapped in one thing. And I probably think more than you do. And it's sense not religion. What if it was huh? Are you going to reprimand me with Atheistic dogma that has nothing to do with me or you? I can't date actually and chose not to try, plus I can't explore now I'm too busy getting my life set up. Sex is dangerous. Maybe you should elaborate on your words just once more. Please? Even if you hate to I'd appreciate the elaboration.

It seems that this thread has in fact turned into a debate. Since people are now bashing each other and disagreeing with the OP instead of filling his survey, I'm just going to lock it. Please keep debates in ROTW section next time. :locked:
