A Show of Gay Pride

[jstrodel]

I definitely think Rhythm's point needs addressing.

Regarding him personally, he seems somewhat obsessed with cock. I don't believe him at all.

In general, consider sexuality across cultures and time. It's fairly variable. Our current western paradigm is fairly new.

For instance, there was a time in Greece when it was normal for a teenage male to take a receptive sexual role with an older male. Upon becoming an adult, it was considered wrong to take the receptive role, but OK to take the penetrative role with men or women. They didn't even look at it as male/female, but rather penetrative/receptive.

Does it make more sense to think that these people had a difference in genome which produced this pattern at birth, or that people naturally fall somewhere on a scale of bisexuality and culture has a lot to do with how it's expressed?

And does a person need to have sex with the opposite sex to be gay or is the desire alone enough to warrant the label?

Again, I'm arguing against such labeling.

Whaterist, Minimalist, Ryantology, a few others on here have all made posts that seemed reasonable and had arguments that resembled the way that people typically argue about religion. Rhythm has not made a single post that I can see that resembles anything the way that grown ups typically debate whether God exists, everyone of his posts without exception has been pure adolescent stupidity.
