I think I understood what you were trying to say. I'm also bi, but I live as if I were straight. I've molded myself into only dating men, even though I am still very attracted to women. It's just easier that way. I think because it's a spectrum, people who are toward the middle of the line sort of do have their choice in the matter; at least as far as acting on it goes.
I do, however, find it disgusting when people spout, "homosexuality is a choice!" as if, if true, it should have any bearing on whether consenting adults can carry on a relationship together in whatever capacity works for them.
Thanks. Funny that I find it easier to live as if I were gay than straight. That's certainly one against Heywood's argument that given the choice most people would prefer to live as straight.
I hate the "homosexuality is a choice" argument too, especially when no thought or attempt at empathy has gone into it; the hypocrisy that comes from people who can't apply the reverse "heterosexuality is a choice" to themselves. I just hate hypocrisy full stop.
Anyway I should have gone to bed three hours ago but this stuff's kept me up, so if it's okay I'll say night night.
