Your sexuality informs and alters 100% of your life.

No it doesn't. And choice exists in almost everything.



Hrm, let's perform an in situ experiment! Right now, get on the horn with the people in your world and announce that you're actually gay/straight, whichever is different than currently. Then live accordingly for a few years so we can see what changes!

The stakes: one upvote.


I'm bisexual.. So the opposite is bisexual? I'm fine with that.

Can I have my upvote?


I believe the "opposite," or at least the closest thing, would be asexual.


Well played! Yes. :)


Too bad you chose to be ignorant :/

The scientific evidence is not on your side, if you're interested in that sort of thing.


Too bad you chose to misread the comment :/

The choice is in your actions, not your feelings.


So you think gay people shouldn't act on their feelings?


I think gay people have control over their emotions just like everyone else and it doesn't automatically impact 100% of their lives.


Actually I would argue that the scientific evidence is highly controversial, incredibly ambiguous and in need of serious and systematic review.
