When you kiss your mother, is it sexual?

If you're turned on by the same sex then I'd say that's gay (or bi if you're attracted to both) -at least gay for the time being, or in that moment. And if you're kissing them sexually, it would be pretty hard to do so without that being the case.
Thoughts?

You guys are approaching it like there's an either or. There's a fluidity to sexuality, and also things that constitutes sexual acts do not always give you a clear indication of their sexuality. Someone who is completely gay can marry have kids because they are hiding, does that mean the person is no longer gay because he's able to get it up and have sex with a women when he's not really attracted to her? You can get an arousal out of someone whether they're attracted to your or not if you give them the right stimulus.

And she's not turned on. Not having a problem with kissing another woman and being turned on, two different things.
And I'd appreciate it if you toned down your sexism.

Well if that's the case you learn something every day.
I myself for instance, couldn't possibly willingly commit any sexual act whatsoever with someone of the same sex as me, unless I actually was attracted at least to some extent.

Can I make a very belated comment on this thread. Whilst my POV is pro natural when it comes to the nature of homosexuality, as I've stated before.
I'd absolutely agree if someone was being blatantly bigoted WITHOUT any reasoning offered they should be banned.
Anto was very agitated due to what he stated he felt was a personal racist attack.
I think that not answering Anto's explorative questioning and refutations leaves the discussion resting in favour of homosexuality = wrong. I have no idea why Anto was banned for a week, I was banned at the same time so couldn't access the shoutbox to see if he said something terrible there. Censorship here, if that's what it was, was counter productive IMO. that is.. Anti homosexuality was silenced without reason.

Amw79,
You have to look at the "Atheism Is A White Supremacist Ideology!" thread which was cut from this thread to fully understand Anto's banning. Weird rant about how atheism is somehow related to racism.
