Why can't you just be attracted to people???
Didn't you hear? You're either straight or gay, there is no middle ground.

Hey I hate people okay....I hate them. I like persons, but not people.

I believe however in all seriousness it is the sexual dimorphism that is the biological attraction.

Now, wait a minute here. That's speciesism. Is there some particular reason I have to limit my attraction to people?

I am certainly a speciest, and a genderist, and an agist.

Don't like it? Too bad.

Deal with it, bitches.

Not that I do not give a fuck about people's sexuality, I simply appreciate solitude and not getting in anyone's face if there is not a problem to begin with. But sometimes it becomes a moral problem to people and suddenly there are pointless arguments about stupid shit about who is gay or straight and all that...

And that's organismism! Why are we limited to just species? What about our non-living, inorganic lovers! Big Grin

Too much chafing. I'm partial to a nice leather couch and plenty of lube. Tongue

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw years ago, that I think is still printed, it said...

I'm not a bigot, I hate everyone equally
