the fixation some have on sexual orientation. They judge a person's entire life based on their sexual orientation, it is so stupid. Like maybe that one is straight-straight, maybe that one is straight-gay? Maybe gay-gay? Hmmmmm, maybe straight but a tiny bit gay? I'm always amazed by people who think because 2 guys/girls share a house they have to be gay, like WTF. Damn, stupidity and bigotry often run so deep.

It is ALL so absolutely ridiculous. And then, they pass laws to enforce their bizarre beliefs.

Changing laws will help a lot. Not a cure, but a big help. merrily Feb 2014 #49

Anyone who thinks heterosexuals commonly say things like that . . . MrModerate Feb 2014 #50

Where did you see the word "commonly?" Behind the Aegis Feb 2014 #51

The concept of 'common' comes from the OP . . . MrModerate Feb 2014 #67

The "concept" is something YOU brought up. Behind the Aegis Feb 2014 #68

Yes, I came up with the notion of some things being more 'common' . . . MrModerate Feb 2014 #70

Your condescension has been noted. Behind the Aegis Feb 2014 #72
