Now see, I'm not married. But, even if I had a girlfriend I might tell someone I don't, because I might be trying to "get it in" with the next chick. And I can't speak for others, but I'll tell you this, I don't appreciate being made fun of. So, the first one to ask me if I'm gay, is gettin' served, straight up and down, with no chaser. And win, lose, or draw, I bet everything I own, when I'm done with 'em, they're gonna respect me. That's my word!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a persons sexual orientation determined as an embryo? I mean, most of us are given one set of tools, right? And, what we decide to do with our tools is our choice, isn't it? We can't choose what race we want to be, but we sure as hell can choose how we use our tools. As a matter of speaking, my niece, who was heterosexual, was married to her high school sweetheart for over 10 years, before she decided to get a divorce and marry a woman. Her choice.

That's a level of scorn you probably reserve for gay people.

Oh, and proclaiming your lack of a problem with gay people in bold face won't make it more believable after you've typed pseudo-homophobic nonsense like you have in this thread.
NEWS FLASH: everyone isn't rational. And, I'm Just1Fan, WHO COULDN'T CARE LESS, ABOUT WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

Would you expect him to be "more accepting" of gays or mad as hell at every gay guy he came into contact with? You see, if you haven't walked in a persons shoes, you'll never understand why they feel the way they do. Some people accept gays and some don't. I don't have a problem with gays, but per my example, I understand why some people would. I can't blame people for the way they feel, especially if I don't know their story. The difference between me and you is I feel that little boys pain, and you don't. I don't think everyone should be in the same category as me. If he grows up not accepting gays, that's his right. Are you saying he's wrong? I'd like to see how "more accepting" of gays you'd be, if it was your child.
Pedophiles are usually straight.

American really have a sever problem with labeling anything that is....I cant even think of the word, but they label everything as gay.

and you wonder why they think someone is gay if they dont marry.

Americans have serious hangups.
I have to agree.
The who culture is based on fear of sexuality and sex.
It's a sin that they crave.
It's as insane a culture as the middle east insanity and they don't even see it.

You are wrong. Scientists haven't figured out exactly how sexual orientation is determined.

You really don't see the difference between sexual orientation and "how we use our tools"? Sure, everyone chooses how and when to use their "tools", but it's very difficult to suppress an attraction to another human being. It usually just happens whether you want it to or not.

You say, "scientists haven't figured out exactly how sexual orientation is determined". And, I agree with you. But, my point isn't how it's determined, but "when" it's determined. And, while it may be difficult to suppress an attraction to another human being, at the end of the day, it's still up to the individual as to how they respond to that attraction, i.e. I might like chocolate, but I don't have to eat it. That's my choice. Or, you can look at this way, I may be attracted to my neighbor's wife, but I don't have to go after her. That too, would be my choice. But, your points are valid, and I thank you for sharing them with me. Good day.
