And why should you? Do people feel the need to shout far and wide that they are straight? Hopefully not...Wonderlicious wrote: (ironic as it may sound, I want as much as possible to not broadcast it across the net among real life friends, acquaintances and family)
I agree. It always makes me angry when people say that if you don't walk outside with a rainbow flag in your hand every time you leave your house you're not 'being true to yourself'. No straight person would introduce themselves by saying 'Hi, I'm John, just so you know, I'm straight!' If you want to tell everyone you know, that's fine, if you only want to tell people on a need to know basis, that's fine too. It's your business, not theirs, you're allowed to tell who you want, when you want.pinkrenata wrote:And why should you? Do people feel the need to shout far and wide that they are straight?

And good for you for feeling comfortable to BE YOURSELF! That is an achievement for every single one of us: gay, straight, purple, blue ... pink ... or whatever!
lol, I was calling it ironic since I was basically announcing it on a public forum, though this is a forum I would say announcing such news isn't an issue.pinkrenata wrote:And why should you?

I know of people who have announced to the whole world that they're gay/bi via Facebook or something like that, and I'll just say it's something I wouldn't ever do. To each their own, but I'd worry about coming across more as an attention seeker than anything else. 
I'm happy the way I am, but I don't feel the need to let my sexuality completely run my life or change how I live it (relationships aside). 
I think it's important, though, to recognize the emotions a person goes through before the proverbial 'coming out of the closet' happens. So, if that person wants to yell it out to the world, all the more power to him/her!Scarred4life wrote: I agree.

Uhhh...no I think sexuality is a really big part of people's lives.pinkrenata wrote:A person's sexuality is a very small percentage of a person's make-up.
I think it's a big part of a person's personal identity, but not really a person's life.Disney Duster wrote:Uhhh...no I think sexuality is a really big part of people's lives.pinkrenata wrote:A person's sexuality is a very small percentage of a person's make-up.
Exactly. Of course my sexuality has a lot to do with my own identity, which ultimately does have a knock on affect on what I do in my life and how others may react to me. But so do my gender, my age, my nationality, my social class, my educational background, plus many other things. And aside from my relationship choices, it doesn't have to have much bearing on how one personally chooses to live their life. Some people choose to lead a fairly "straight" life, whereas others will want to participate more among LGBT circles. In any case, to each their own.Scarred4life wrote:I think it's a big part of a person's personal identity, but not really a person's life.Disney Duster wrote: Uhhh...no I think sexuality is a really big part of people's lives.
Yes and no. More importantly, it's only one of the many pieces that makes you you. Perhaps we'll have to agree to disagree on that point.Disney Duster wrote:Who you date is part of your life, right?
The bill was also signed into law today too.Disney's Divinity wrote:Apparently, the Delaware Senate just passed marriage equality on a 12-9 vote!
