You don't have to agree, but it's my personal belief. Bisexual people are usually always more attracted to the same sex, and whenever someone calls them out as a homosexual, they always respond,"No, I'm actually bisexual" as if that makes it any better.

That is the exact statement that usually fuels the whole "oh your a homphobe" mess, and I just don't understand it.

I don't agree with the "Homosexual lifestyle", but I don't hate people who are. I just personally don't care about it. It is however very annoying and disgusting when homosexuals try to hit on you as if they expect you to be gay. This I feel is what causes people to become homophobics.
First of all, there is no "homosexual lifestyle" - it's just WHO a person is. It's not something someone just chooses to do - who the hell would choose it, when it's easier to be straight? Like you wake up one day, and say, "gee, just for kicks, I think I'll be gay now". There's no logic in that. Why do you call it a "lifestyle"? A lifestyle is something you choose to do because you like living a certain way, perhaps - living in a certain area, having a certain type of job, having children or not, etc. Do you choose the "heterosexual lifestyle" if you're straight? I don't think so.

I'm bisexual myself - have had relationships with both men and women. I guess it depends on how you define "bisexual". Guess I'm living the "bisexual lifestyle", whatever that is.

When did I say you decide to be a homosexual??? Stop trying to look so deep into my statement and just take it for what it is. I don't hate homosexuals; just don't really care about what they do in their lifes.

Man acting as a woman is just morally unacceptable. It's disgusting. It's an insult to God. End of story.

I hate the use of the word "them" as if homosexuals are just SOOOO different from everyone else.

In any case, I recognize that people can "disagree" or find something wrong with my being a lesbian but I don't think they automatically hate me.

I don't see homosexuality as a lifestyle but whatever.
You're entitled to your opinion.

I apologize if my use of the word "them" is insulting....my only intent was to show differences regarding whom I was speaking of. I know that no matter what, homosexuals are people and just as human as anyone else!

You said it was a "lifestyle" - that's something one chooses to do. Being straight, gay, or in-between is just who someone IS.

Sorry, I misinterpreted. Maybe you have a different definition of "lifestyle".
