If having sex with both men and women is an option to you, then you're bisexual.

Attractions are involuntary. I've never met a single human being that conciously said "gee, I think i'll find this person attractive today". You look at someone, and a series of chemical responses in the brain instantly decide whether they are attractive or not. It's involuntary.

Actually we are animals. The most intelligent animals (well, some of us anyway), but animals none the less.

Gay people can compliment one another just fine. You just said humans aren't animals, so stop basing our functionality on animalistic behavior (i.e. reproduction).

No... because as I said... the human beings are influenced by those around them. I'm a human being and I live in communities where homosexuality is not accepted. So I won't be influenced into accepting it or consider it an option. Everybody I know is straight. So if they're straight I'm straight too... If I lived in a gay neighborhood and made myself believe that what those creatures do there is normal, homosexuality would probably become an option... but the good thing is that we can decide where to live and what to do with our lives.

You didn't decide to be attracted to that girl, you already were. That's why you liked her.

Well... that's probably your case.
In my case everyone who's financially ok and good looking and from a good family is attractive to me in a way or another. With some I become friends and with other, if they're girls because as I said I'm influenced by those around me and they all are straight... so if they're girls, there is a possibility that we can become more than friends if they meet my criteria.

That doesn't make any sense.

A straight man or straight woman who moves into a predominantly gay neighborhood isn't all of a sudden going to be attracted to the same sex. And that's vice versa. A homosexual who hangs around heterosexuals is not going to abruptly be attracted to the opposite sex.

Well... if I liked here... and then I found out that she was poor, her parents were on welfare and so on... You think I would still liked here? Of course not... we can control our feelings... you don't agree with that?

So why is it that people raised by gay parents, in predominately gay communities usually end up straight?

Your logic makes absolutely no sense.
