Well, I’m really sorry for you but I don’t think heterosexual are evil, you had a really bad experience but they’re not all like this. In fact, the “straight males” who hit gays are usually gays and don’t accept it. I’m not straight, I’m bisexual, but the most of my friends and family are heterosexual and I’m absolutely sure they would never do something like this. Another thing, I don’t think the inteligent have to do with that.. I know a lot of straight smart people and some silly gay and, of course, the oposite too.

Actually, Kinsey surveys show that only 5-10% of the people can be considerated heterosexual or homosexual, so the 80-90% of the people are bisexual and only a 5% don’t have any preference.

This is the most intelligently articulated reflection on the question of gender in society that I’ve read in a very long time. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

I don’t think that Michelle is putting out “fag-hag” vibes. I think she’s reporting what very many others are discovering: that a homosexual potential is part of our humanness; that everyone has an essential need to be loved by persons of the same sex as well as by persons of the opposite sex; that we each experience these universal needs in our own, individual ways; and that the capacity to sexualize these needs, regardless of one’s ultimate preference, is built in to our human (indeed our mammalian) nature–even if, for many of us, one part or another of that potential gets squelched out of our consciousness and experience as we develop.

The vast majority of the pre-industrial societies about which we have any knowledge have revealed patterns of bisexuality with varying degrees of acceptance and normalization. Those who argue that we, as a species, are fundamentally bisexual (like our closest evolutionary relatives, chimps and bonobos) have much evidence to support the assertion. We at least have the innate potential for both responses, however we may actualize or not actualize either potential.

Down with any dictatorship! Up with females being accepted as fully human, along with everyone else!

You know a lot of sophisticated words for a 14 year old. Keep reading and thinking and learning and you’ll figure out how to use those words in meaningful and appropriate ways. In the mean time, why not just say what you think with more, may I say, pedestrian terms?

He doesn’t intend for his homophobia to be homophobic. He just wants to point out that young children should not be taught a subject we simply don’t want them to understand.

It is not just “our” history; it is an essential part of human history — and it is being embraced, by some older people and by a lot of younger people. Global culture is in great flux: a spirit of open-mindedness and understanding is growing and the closed-minded are desperately trying to stop it. I fear we are not finished with the ugliness, but, as Martin Luther King noted, “the arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.”

(By “it” I mean the history of same-sex need and same-sex love as essential aspects of HUMAN experience, not just that of a ghetoized minority called “gays.” One day, we will no longer need that designation.)

I think, Guest, that you are trying to understand and to be understanding. Grateful for that. Keep trying.
