Beliefs On Sexual Orientation

[Uranus]

Ok, So I Wasn't Sure Whether To Post This Here, Or Teen Sexualit & Gender...

Anyways, I Know That The Majority Of Straight(Sexual Orientation) People, Strongly Believe, That Being:
Bisexual,
Gay,
Lesbian,
Trans,
ECT,
Is Wrong, And Are Highly Against It.

I On The Other Hand, Am Not. I Don't Mind If My Friends Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, ECT. They're My Friends And I Will Support Them And Anyone Who Is.

I Believe We Should All Have A Right, And Should Be Treated Fairly, For Who We Are! It Doesn't Mean I'm Gay, Or Bisexual... I Just Support Those Who Are.

My Question Is:

For Those Of You Who Are Gay/Bisexual/Lesbian/Trans/Ect..

Do Your (Straight)Friends, And Family Support You?
Or Are They Against It, And YOU, For Being Who You Are?

My Other Question, Is What Is Your Opinion On Your Sexual Orientation? Because Your View May Be Different To Those Who Are Straight...

Thank You For Time.

my friends and family support me 100%. there are some people who dont support me, dont like me, dont agree with my lifestyle choice, but thats not my problem its theirs.

it is of my opinion that we are all created equally, its just that we have no control over who or what we are attracted to. its just the way we are made. the heart wants what the heart wants and thats they way it is, its beyond our control.

my parents don't yet know.
my cousin knows I'm gay and she supports me

Most of the straight people who know don't care. They're pretty cool about it. I'm only out to like, 5 people in real life, but yeah.
Most of the people who know are on the internet. Most don't care, but I've gotten some pretty nasty comments about it.

For Those Of You Who Are Gay/Bisexual/Lesbian/Trans/Ect..

Do Your (Straight)Friends, And Family Support You? My friends generally do. If you count Charlie as being family, he 100% supports me, but no one else would or knows.
Or Are They Against It, And YOU, For Being Who You Are? As for my family, this is basically what they fall into.

My Other Question, Is What Is Your Opinion On Your Sexual Orientation? Because Your View May Be Different To Those Who Are Straight...

Um, it's a part of us? Haha, I don't really know what you're asking here.
It's not something that makes us superior or inferior, it just is.

I'm bi. My parents don't know, only because I know that they don't accept it. My dad thinks its wrong and unnatural. As for my friends, those who know are really accepting. I haven't been able to tell one of my friends because I'm afraid of his reaction. I know he doesn't approve so I don't want to say anything...

I've always been good with different sexual orientations, even before I knew I was bi. Its a part of me, and I'm happy with it; even if others don't like it.

Unfortunately, I am not out to my whole family. There are some cousins and close friends that know. That's about it. I mean I have a funny feeling they already know, but I'll come out them when I'm ready. I'm sure they would support me as they are open minded people and they know I hardly ever talk about girls so :P

I think sexuality is a very difficult topic to discuss and bring up. It is up to the individual on how they deal with or accept and understand it. I do however don't support people lying who they are and getting married and having children knowing what their sexualiy is and not tellign the person. That just leads up to more trouble. However I don't know their situation and again, it goes back to depending on that person. Just my opinion.

Im bi and everybody I know is supportive. But then again, not one of them are religious so they dont have any reason to think its wrong.

All my friends and family are fine with it,

and, nooooooo, most straight people don't think it's any of those things, most straight people are fine with it, the people who have a problem, are called morons, and should be sterilised.

[WARNING, THAT LAST PART ABOUT STERILISATION WAS SATIRE, COMEDY, A JOKE, there, now this post is idiot proof]

My family doesn't know yet but some of them I'm sure they'd be okay with it and my friends accept it.

Sexual Orientation to me is different things. It can be a Label, It can be your sexual preference towards a certain gender, It can be taken and used as a weapon ( being Judgmental on someone and their sexual preference or orientation and whatnot ) and many other things. It's hard to really say what It is to me but there is most of it.

Must Capitalize The First Letter In Every Single Word So They Know It's Important ;)

nooooooo, most straight people don't think it's any of those things, most straight people are fine with it

Agreed, I have yet to find anyone who is actually against someone else's sexuality. Trans is a little more sensitive of a topic, though I can't say the the majority are against it either. All of my friends are fully supportive which is great, and most of them are straight. Not quite sure how to answer your final question however :P It really doesn't seem to be a big part of me so I don't have huge feelings about it.

I know 1 or two, but these people really are stupid, it's like they where inbred, so there opinions really don't carry much weight in the college.

There will always be those who oppose and those who support. My friends support me being who I am and are completely fine with the fact I'm a Gender Fluid Pansexual. My parents aren't as accepting, but my mum is trying.
A lot of people are beginning to be more accepting, but sadly there will always be some of those people left in the world who need some one to throw a rainbow at them.

To answer your second question; when I was younger it confused me. I grew up in a very religious family and I realized I liked a girl which was unheard of. I was confused and in denial. Once I hit middle school and high school though I accepted that I like who I like, people would think I'm bi, but I've never specified with gender. I see people for who they are on the inside and that's all that matters to me. In all honesty, I'm okay with my dextrality and I feel like I wouldn't be okay with being any way else. I don't shove it in other peoples' faces, but I'm proud of who I am, what I am, however you want to phrase it.
