That's what I'm sayin'! It ain't rocket science! When it comes to being attracted to women.

Better yet, i would like to see it defined using de Moivre's formula.

After all it involves at least one thing that is imaginary.

... Whose very premise is based on something ("heterosexuality") that you claim doesn't exist.

Your mind is clearly made up, so the thread and the poll are just an exercise in mental masturbation.

One could, but there are not many of them around. Not many people are arguing to prevent heterosexuals from having open relationships with full associated legal marital rights.

Many people, on the other hand, are quite eager to prevent homosexuals from having those same rights. Just look in the mirror.
