Ugh. Not this again. Sexuality is not a choice. It is the way a person is; a state of being, like being short, bald, or having attached earlobes. And I will illustrate it by explaining it this way to you. If you are a heterosexual man, I challenge you to go to a gay bar, meet whoever, and have sex with him. What, you can't? Why not? It's a choice, isn't it?
Though there is some truth in what you're saying for some people, it's not an absolute. For some people, it actually IS a choice. Same as moral and/or situational relativity is a choice.
Being sexually active, is a choice. Who you may or may not be attracted to is emotional based and a mental state of mind, with choices being made by feelings and value.
If you had never been butt******, would you know if you liked it or not? Sexuality is taught, experimented with and eventually learned.
If not, your hand would be your sexual partner.
You're confusing sexual acts with the sex of the person one is attracted to. For one thing, just because someone is a certain sexuality doesn't mean they will enjoy certain sexual acts. I will repeat what I said a moment ago. How is someone taught to be attracted to someone else? They aren't. They won't even go out on a date with someone if they aren't attracted to them in the first place. If a person is heterosexual, they will go on a date with someone of the opposite sex. Eventually it may lead to a sexual and emotional relationship. If someone is homosexual, they will go one a date with someone of the same sex because they are attracted to them initially. No one teaches them to be attracted to a same sex partner. They just are.
Besides, why would someone choose to subject themselves to a life of stigma and discrimination? Heterosexuals are overwhelmingly favored in all spheres of life. They didn't need a Supreme Court decision legalizing their marriage. It was assumed they could get married. They could always adopt and file taxes together.
Employers have the right to fire straight employees, if it gets found out they engage in sexual behavior the employer finds offensive, such as oral and anal sex. So why shouldn't a gay worker be fired in the same way for engaging in offensive sexual behavior? It makes sense at first, until it boils down to a matter of discrimination. An employer may never fire straight employees no matter what kind of legal sexual behavior they engage in but always fire the gay employees once they're found out, such as when they get married.
Why would someones employer even know what kind of sexual things their employee prefers or takes part in?
Ive been at my job for over 10 yrs, and I can honestly say this is one topic that has never come up between me and my boss! (he doesnt ask and I dont tell him), its personal, not work related at all.
Why would someones employer even know what kind of sexual things their employee prefers or takes part in?
Here's just an example. Straight people generally have pictures of their significant others at their desks. They typically will engage in small talk about their lives and their significant others will come up. Straight people can also bring their significant other to the company Christmas party and nobody bats an eye. Should gay people be required to keep their significant other a secret in order to remain employed? What about married gay people (it's much harder to keep that a secret)?
