What Do You Think of Bisexuality?

Maybe the virulent homophobia is caused by people secretly harboring fears about their own sexuality? Maybe they themselves are... (as Seinfeld would say, not that there's anything wrong with that!) ;)

I don’t think it started as homophobic as far as religions go. Look at all the scandals caused by the catholic priests who had to stay celibate. We all know what happened there.

There has always been extra stigmatism when it comes to ones own sexuality. Its one of those sinful pleasures like gluttony.
When it comes to any religion , apparently mankind isn’t suppose to enjoy it. It’s main purpose is to procreate and help support civilization.

Religion itself has demonized sexuality. Homophobia is viewed as excessively sexual in the most sinful way possible. ( perhaps because it doesn’t help support population but I think mainly because people don’t understand it and what people don’t understand, they fear) There was a reason for sexual relations to happen and it wasn’t meant to be something enjoyable. Homosexuals prove otherwise and it goes against the grain.



Lets face it, humanity is complex. We have issues that go back centuries that everyone has to suffer for.

Judging another whether it's looks, weight, clothing worn, speech or other factors it's basic human nature.


I think it's funny how judging someones sexual preferance in a negative way works for them right up to the time their life could depend on that person saving their life. Who questions a surgeon? With the exception of some religions a blood transfusion? Or a family member that happens to have a preferance that you don't agree with but has a match to a needed kidney or liver?


The sexual preferance of another, unless it causes me personal harm my attitude is live and let live.
 
Good points, Knight.

If I'm hovering between life and death and a surgeon is ready to save me, am I going to balk if he or she is homosexual?

Hardly.

Of course, Mrs. R. As are political leaders, kings, queens, movie stars, scientists, teachers, nurses, the people next door, cowboys, scuba divers, dress makers, surveyors, factory workers, ministers, priests, cleaning ladies, janitors, CEO's, head of state, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers....but you get my drift.
 
I don't really care what they do....or how they live their life. I believe we all have the right to seek & hopefully find happiness...how ever that may be...within the laws of our nation. But also... a person having a differing opinion ...on anything, does not make that person a monster.

I take more issue with a control freak, than with a bi guy or gal, or a fully homosexual guy or gal.

I agree, control freaks are crazy making.
 
I say whatever floats your boat.
I remember when I watched Brokeback Mountain. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the sex scenes. Repelled, titillated? But it was just........odd. Yup, it was just odd.
 
I thought Brokeback Mountain was a lovely movie.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I've watched a lot of movies and series on HBO, but sex scenes, whether staight or gay, don't faze me at all. The worst thing I can say about them is that most of them are pretty boring. Well, that and unrealistically acrobatic! :highly_amused:
 
Am I the only one who hasn't seen Brokeback mountain?...nothing to do with the same sex union...just that I'm not a fan of slushy romantic movies regardless of the sexual orientation
 
The point I'm trying to make it that whatever you may think about sexual relations in general, I ask that to think about it it in a generalized way on the entire spectrum, and not just about homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, etc. To focus to what kind sexuality and and what practices they entail, is just a limited way on thinking about sexuality in general.

I haven’t been able to watch Brokeback Mountain all the way through. I’ve tried but I have a hard time watching two men being romantically intimate with one another however I AM a big fan of mushy romantic chick flicks.
 
I'm not bi..but who's to say what it may have taken to push me over to the other side. I'm pretty sure that if I was , I'd have a lot to say to those that would condemn me. I like to say..throw the first stone.

No you're not, I have not either. And to be honest, the reason is because...just as they have the right to do /love whom they please...I have the right not to watch them...and i hope be honest about my reasons here ? Watching two men embrace , is not something I care to witness.

Well then Olivia, since you were only joking, please ignore my comment about making a separate thread. I didn't "get it" My apologies! :(

No problem! Actually, that might make an interesting thread. But only if it required total honesty. :eek:nthego:
 
Well, as for the original topic, and kinda covers other popular topics, I kinda like this:

Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV)

[SUP]36 [/SUP]“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”[SUP]37 [/SUP]Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]38 [/SUP]This is the first and greatest commandment. [SUP]39 [/SUP]And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[SUP][b][/SUP] [SUP]40 [/SUP]All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'

:confused: But maybe some people don't think Jesus's viewpoints were Christian enough??

I can't fathom it for myself and religiously I'm "supposed to" frown on it. But I have a couple of bisexual friends (well actually one is "intersex" aka hermaphrodite), good friends too and at the end of the day, I just want happiness for them.
