Pronouncements about sexual predilections

[onlinebiker]

I don't come here as though this is a dating site and therefore DGAF what someone's sexual proclivites are at first meeting.

Later into learning about someone it can be a helpful bit of info in understanding where they stand on certain things.  

I can't imagine walking up to someone in person and saying, "Hi, I'm awty, and I am a female heterosexual."  I don't get invited to that kind of party.

I wasn' t sure if you would RSVP....

No need to announce yerself...my gaydar works just fine.

OMG, I think it moved.

If an announcement about one's identity indicates that they'll not be treating people with respect and in a way that maintains other people's dignity, I'll assuredly have a problem with it.

Otherwise, have at the personal identity announcements, in my opinion. The point @arewethereyet makes is valid, I believe; it may be informative where perspective is concerned.

I see it like nudity.
...

I am not offended by nudity. I have been to nude beaches and had a good time nude. It isn' t a problem because it is the NORM. You expect nude people at nude beaches.

I would not go to the hardware store nude - and would probably not be real comfortable if the old guy behind the counter dropped trou..... Why? Because it not expected or encouraged. In fact it' s illegal in most states.

It simply is not the appropriate place to run about naked.

I see introductions the same way. Some places are not appropriate for all forms of behavior or exchange of information.

I got no problem with it other than grammatical...


Is it a chicken doing it doggie style or a dog doing it chicken style???

[vulcanlogician]

I really don't see the issue.

The intro thread is there so people can say hi. Maybe mention a few things about themselves. If one of those things happens to be that they're gay, then sure.

Also, it's topical. Religion has a funky relationship with sexuality. Apparently OP does too.

Were it not for the fact that a chihuahua-fucking-a-chicken photo came out of it, I'd say the thread is pointless.

 You have a wicked sense of humor. I like that!

If someone were to introduce themselves to me at a party and mentioned they were gay, I’d probably say something like, ‘That’s great, but I’m just here for the onion dip.’
