Bisexuals have bi-cycles.

Can you tell me where the straight gene is? i don't believe they've found one y et yet i'm pretty sure that you believe that you were born straight and that it's a trait
I read that the period of our childhood from birth to age 5 is very vulnerable to sexual perversion. It can be manipulated.

I kind have experienced always being gay and never experiencing being straight. being gay is NOT a choice.
I support gay marriage. There are a couple states out there now that allow it. You just have to do the best you can with the current climate.

My question to you is why do you feel the need to be married in order to live with a person you choose?

When you say you're a virgin do you mean that you've never been with a woman or do you mean that you've never been with anyone?

How would you know if you're gay if you've never been with anyone?

why would a GAY PERSON have a STRIGHT MARRIAGE?

btw, i'm 34 and still a virgin. I have a degree in religion and am a good person but I am waiting to find the right person, and when i do i although i live the state that i grew up in with my friends and family and i don't like moving far away from them I have to move FAR AWAY from family and friends to another state to get married, unlike most of you.

I simply don't understand how someone is PASSIONATE about ENSURING someone else doesn't get a right that they get becaue they were born differently.

Again, i don't get it.

what does someone's sexual orientation have to do with 'morality'.

why do some people think this should be up to 'the public' when voting on OTHER people's rights WHILE THEY ENJOY them are unconstitutional?

don't get it.

its not my business and i dont care, just dont throw it in my face.

i think thats the main sentiment from most people.

i dont really care what you do in your personal life, just dont push it in my face and get me involved with it.

same goes for straight couples. i dont care, dont bother me. just leave my ass alone.

Did you have to have sex first to identify your sexuality? I knew I liked boys way before I knew why. Don't you suppose it would be the same for gay men or lesbians?

i agree, i think it is natural attraction.

i get excited when i see doutzen kroes and adriana lima.

as a guy, i dont get excited when i see guys walking down the street. thats hardwired into my head, and i cant change that.

i cant make a choice and suddenly like guys.

im going to stare at that ass on her because im hard wired to, not by choice.

About next of kin stuff? Passing on property? Define family. Are barren couples a family?
being gay isn't a lifestyle choice i've been gay my whole life and it certainly wasn't chosen, quite the opposite,

Also many gay couples DO have children
