There are certain things to be offended about, this really isn't one of them. Of course I wouldn't have posted this picture without checking with others first. And hey if you have to check it's not worth posting, naturally. Anyway, homosexuality isn't one of things you can stereotype with an image, even one of a kooky looking guy decked out in pink. Not to shock anyone on my own, but it takes more to offend me than that.

Yeah, wonder how that keeps happening! As it is, threads don't get closed when "all what should have been said has been" - discussions are always open, and as long as they stay on the side of our loose definition of civility, productivity, and good taste, they remain open. If a thread has run its course, it will fall off on its own to the horror of page 2 or beyond. If not, then unnecessary bumping isn't going to A) get it closed, B) get discussion going again, C) be met favorably, and D) get this thread to fade away if that is the intention. This is all kind of inherent as to what makes it "unnecessary" and pointless, but just a friendly reminder on how threads work.

Yes, you are right on all those counts. But I felt it was pretty harmless. So I wanted to say that originally it wasn't something I even felt compelled to comment on. Definitely a pointless bump.
I hate to bump up such an old thread, but I don't know if I really want to create a whole new thread for this.
I just want to apologize to Lazario about our numerous debates on homosexuality. I know now that you are right and I was dead wrong. Though I'm not positive, I am starting to think that I'm bisexual. I had a huge crush on a girl for two months (I may still really like her, but I'm not as obsessed as before)and I really owe you an apology for all the immature things I have said to you.
I don't remember us quarreling about this issue. I believe we fought on the Jessica Simpsons - "Boots Are Made for Walking" post. But thank you anyway. Even there, when I was totally in the right, everyone here ganged up on me. That hasn't happened in a long time... Wow, women's rights just makes people really nuts, doesn't it?

So, I'm sorry.

Chay, even though that apology wasn't directed at me, I must say that that was a very sweet thing to say.
As for the brief bisexuality thing, you may just be experiencing symptoms of teenage sexual development, which many have gone through with close friends and even family members. To quote BBC's One Life site:
Most people during their life feel drawn to someone of their own sex. But finding someone attractive doesn't mean you're gay. For many, these feelings are just part of normal sexual development and some go on to have relationships with people of the opposite sex.
I don't see why being gay cannot be accepted... There are many things in the world which may not seem "normal" to certain people but they still choose to live with it so why should homosexuality be singled out as "un-normal" thing which can never be accepted.
Dissrespecting homosexuality is never going to change the fact that some people will have feelings for the same sex. Would straight people rather scare gay people into pretending their straight and lose women to them???

Well said. And I hope you don't feel ashamed. You shouldn't be. It may be hormones or simple teenage confusion. Or you may truely be bi-sexual. Just let things flow naturally. Don't push yourself to see just who you are. All things come with time and patience. And know, at least here, there's always someone to talk to that will be open, honest, and caring.
Good luck to you. And remember, do what makes YOU happy.
Siren, Wonderlicious and Isidour,
Thank you for your words of support. Siren, that paragraph meant a lot to me. Wonderlicious, thank you for the link. Isidour, you may be right. I don't really know.

I do. 1) organized religion / 2) male dominated governments / 3) gender roles constantly being reinforced by macho & fem propaganda-institutions: sports, fashion, war/military, and marriage.
I was thinking...maybe someone could see on that person something we desire to have it could be a quality, self-confidence or even something that could appear fool for others like innocence
I mean, we don´t desire them or love them, but we only want their presence because that make us feel confortable, self-realized and good. I mean, we aren´t twitterpatted but confused by someone who we need because it have what we don´t have but need so desesperately
that picture is hillarious! (sorry....I had to post!)
I don't think I ever responded to this thread....I am not gay....but a few of my friends are "bi".....whatever floats their boats...

lol so true. btw, nice to see some welcoming comments in this un-necessarily bumped thread.
Well, I'm gay and I've known since last year. Really doesn't bother me if I have prefernce over girls for boys. I don't want to turn this into something in-depth, so yeah, I'm gay.
