Someone I knew tried to tell me that no one is straight or otherwise, and that only relationships can be heterosexual, homosexual, etc. Do you agree?

Basically, I had a conversation with someone who thought that who you date/sleep with, is what mainly determines your "sexuality," not what you claim to be. Needless to say, she was one of these new-alternative Kinsey Scale types (pansexual/"bisexual"). Basically, gay. I thought myself that was idiotic until I realized how few actual straight women there are where I grew up and how most of them were queer ("bisexual") and were hooking up with women, so maybe I'm just vanilla and she has a point? What do you think?

Adding context to this: She implied everyone is "pansexual" and that you are not anything until you date/sleep with someone. Then, you enter "a heterosexual relationship," "homosexual relationship," etc. But that the individuals were not/could not be "straight, gay, queer," etc. This is what she meant.

  • I disagree. I do believe that sexuality is a spectrum and there are people who are completely straight and have only ever been sexually attracted to the opposite sex and people who are completely gay and have only been sexually attracted to the same sex and that there are also many people who fall somewhere in between. What she’s saying implies there’s a choice and that people choose to enter into homo/Herero relationships. I disagree with that because any gay person I’ve talked to has told me that they’ve just always been attracted to the same sex and me personally I have always only been attracted to thE opposite sex. I never made a conscious decision. I think she must be one of those people that is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and so her theory may apply to herself but I don’t think it’s a universal experience to be attracted to all genders and to simply choose to be in homosexual or heterosexual relationships. Sexuality is separate from relationships. You can be gay and be in a heterosexual relationship and just be in the closet which is pretty common but does that make the gay man straight? Nope. You can be openly bisexual and in a homosexual relationship but does that cancel out attraction you feel towards people of the same sex? Also no. Therefore her theory makes absolutely no sense.

  • What the frig. No. Sexuality is sexuality. And I'm straight. I have no interest in females sexually nor romantically. Sure I'll compliment anyone who looks good. But there's none of those feelings in between besides friendship unlike guys. And some guys might act gay on purpose but not have any feelings for their bros like that. I know because I've asked a few of my best friends that were the opposite gender.

  • This is the issue with the trans ideology of the left, A man can be a women and a women can be a man so the idea of men and women and homosexuals falls flat, Under her ideology there is no point to Feminism there is no point for gay rights, With the idea of gender and sexuality is malleable there is no point of blaming straight white men for “being evil”. (Straight white males are not evil the left likes to push this). This is another example of the left eating it’s own. I don’t know about you but I have no desire to have sex with a man trans women are men,

    but according to there ideology if your gay and don’t want to have sex with a women you are sexist if your a women and you like women your a sexist this is how the left eats there own. Vote trump if you don’t want this madness to continue he’s our only hope unfortunately

  • If you study Anthropology, you see that hetrosexual is not how people once lived. Guys and girls. Anything went. That's how people lived and Frankly, there's millions of guys out there that claim to be straight but would love nothing more that to go out on a Friday night and suck some dick. There is nothing new and Kinsey scale about this at all.


    Side note; there is one GAG user who constantly trolls about this and it's really fkn annoying. He probably takes more dick than all other guys combined. This isn't about all women being bi; this is about all people being bi.

  • Nope, disagree

  • What about the Bisexuals who have both hetrosexual and homosexual relationships ergo the best of both I think the kind of relationship one has is should be based on his or her sexual preference not on socialite norms and mories.
