Sexuality is more like you're in an airport and you decide to take a random flight somewhere. Maybe you usually prefer the beach but this time you decide to go to the mountains. But each time you have a decision on a lot of different destinations. It's not a train going in one direction lol...
If you want to think that, but most people don't consider their sexuality to be a choice that they decide on each day. I don't know anyone who feels that way.

Some people are simply confused in every way you can imagine.

Also most people don't consider their sexuality on an inevitable path towards homosexuality once they do one gay activity.
If someone feels like doing something straight and they're gay, why not? Maybe they are tired of sausage and want melons instead... But the current narrative doesn't let them do that. Also vice versa. Maybe instead of clams you feel like hotdogs.
Try hiring or managing millennial's. As a hiring manager, it is one of the most difficult "groups" to deal with. GenX doesn't need to be babysat, are independent and get stuff done. They tend to not complain while doing it too. They don't want to talk things to death. Also don't do one project and instantly think they should be getting a raise.
My impression of millennial's is we have replaced wisdom and common sense with intelligence. Super smart but do not seem to know anything.

I work with a millennial and he is super hard working and super intelligent. One thing I've noticed is that he doesn't seem to have patience with status quo hierarchical structures but I never liked such things anyway. I much prefer the diffused/flattened org charts. I do not like consensus building but at least they don't have communication issues. Some baby boomers are like lone rangers, they just go off and do their thing, that's not good either.
I've known many gay and straight people but I don't think I've known anyone that was truly bi. Dated a few girls that mentioned casual interest in other women but I never got the impression that they'd act on their feelings.
I'm pan. *waves* We exist.
Anyway, I'm glad the OP is forgiving of all the things we're hellbent on destroying, like Chili's and Applebees and whatnot.
No my parents are the Greatest Generation. The Greatest Generation was definitely the Greatest Generation. They won World Wars for us, they invented Medicare and Medicaid, they invented the Interstate Highway System. They didn't waste food, they were highly productive, and they were very humble. Once the Baby Boomers were born society took a general downturn.
My generation, GenX, was largely ignored but we are highly successful. We work hard but don't really protest like the Baby Boomers and Millennials do. Actions speak louder than words for us.
Does your arm ever ache from the broad brush your using?
I've never disliked someone because they are part of a group, but I have met some despicable individuals from all groups.
Good luck, Rg

And again, that's perfectly fine you feel that way, but its not how most people treat their sexuality. Most people aren't saying, "oh, I'm tired of being straight, I think I'll choose to be gay now" or vice versa.
Although thankfully I don't know anyone from my generation who uses weird euphemisms for their body parts. Men have penises ( not hotdogs or sausages) and women have breasts and vulvas ( not melons and clams). Crasser words might be used, and eggplant and peach emojis are used when texting, but overall I don't know very many people of my generation who feel the human body is something to be embarrassed about.
I'm a classic Gen Xer, and am going out with a slightly younger Gen Xer but she has many millennial friends and I find their views on life so refreshing.
I used to be a bit judgmental about them, with their irony and participation trophies but I find they are really easy to get along with and don't seem to have a chip on their shoulders like Gen Xers. They also don't seem to be so spoiled and selfish like Baby Boomers. I can't seem to stand Baby Boomers at all.
I know millennials get a bad rap but I just wanted to say this. I used to think we were going to be in for a horrible time once millennials take over, but I feel that we will be in great hands.
Their views on marriage (not needed), fluid sexuality (they don't consider themselves gay or straight instead more of a spectrum and they believe it changes throughout life), relaxed views on pot smoking, and acceptance of diversity as a fact of life are really refreshing.
So here's to relationships with millennials.
There is nothing like characterizing entire generation of people with broad brush strokes.
I imagine your parents are Boomers? You can't stand them because they are spoiled and selfish? And this is based on what? Boomers started this entire process of liberalization of societal norms.
