Except the pansexuals.
I've just been sitting here thinking... and I noticed something. I seem to notice the popular saying "love is blind" or "love is gender blind" etc, especially amongst the homosexual/bisexual community as a way of encouraging an open mind to just... love, not the religious or reproductive aspects of it. But then I wonder... if that's so...
Why is there homosexuality? I am not bashing, it's just something that came to mind and I'm using it as an example. I am not homosexual, I'm not even sure if I'm bisexual, but I am open to all sexualities and love. If you fall for the person, and the person falls for you, then let it be. It's your life, no one should stop you.
I guess I would be a hypocrite too. But yeah... I've always wanted to ask a person that. What is it that makes a girl attracted to a girl? Or a man attracted to a man? Is it purely physical when it comes to that? If love isn't all about the physical aspect, is it possible that no one is completely hetero or homosexual? Is it biological (in a sense natural?). I wouldn't want to say something like "Oh you must have been born with some hormone or chemical that mostly men have, and that's why you're attracted to girls" That's just stupid, although sadly some do believe that ._.
Is it the femininity of girls? If so, then why not be attracted to a feminine guy? And vice versa. If a girl is attracted to men, could she be attracted to a masculine girl?
Is it all really about tacos and hot dogs?
My mind was just wandering.. I was having a debate with a friend about transgendered people. Luckily I won, cuz all he could come up with was "that s**t is gay". But he did say something mean. He said they'd never find love because they're living a lie and it's deceitful. I know this is definitely not true. It led to me thinking about stuff like "Why does it all matter? Just let them be happy" But I guess that would be the case here. Just let them be happy, don't worry about their reasoning. If you're just attracted to girls, then good for you, if you're just attracted to boys, then good for you, If both and all, then yay, more options! Just as long as its not a sexuality that takes advantage of the defenseless.

I never make the claim "love is blind" or "love is love." The majority of people fall within the realm of bisexuality, but since most have a preference to one gender or the other (not to be confused with sex) and will have an identity that is closest to how they feel.
There are part of chemicals that have something to do with sexuality. Gay men are attracted to the pheromones of other men as opposed to women.
I myself identify as straight but I'm open minded to gender queer identified people.

It's an age old science question. Nature vs Nurture. Are there born killers, do people act the way they do due to genes, or the way they grow up? Psychological or Biological? I suspect it's a dynamic equilibrium of both, vary with each case. But, I don't think anyone should be allowed to blame their choices on genetics, even if there are genes involved, a very major part of your actions is choice.
And @ Zero, there still isn't any evidence that that is true. Or, none that I know of.

I think it is a very good question that a lot of people ask regarding this issue Beatrix. It's such a good point too. Why should they care? Why do they feel they have to medle in other people's lives? Just let them be and have peace within the world.
But then you have to think of the extremists that throw in beastiality and religion and other things that just muddle up the arguement with lies and accusations. Truthfully, as long as those people exist we are never going to see that day of peace. There will always be someone to drag it down to the level of idiocricy that it has become.

Emo-GothGirlxxoo I sya guys are hypocrites... when the y see two straight girls make out, they get turned on. when they see two gay girls make out or only kiss alittle, they freak out... what the hell is that all about??? is it because they kno they can't have us??? Not all guys act like that, and I really don't think the sexual orientation of the girls kissing really matters. Their gender expression/presentation is a different story.

As with just about everything, there is a biological and a environmental influence. No, you won't be gay based on hormones, but prenatal hormones do influence the likelihood of someone being gay.
If one twin is gay, there's about a 50% chance of the other twin being gay. There's also the, "older brother effect," which has been pretty consistently documented.
For women, there's a lot less research (there's almost always less research done with women) and what seems to be more variation. A lot of women are more likely to say that there was some kind of choice -- whether this is true we really don't know, but the self-identification is very different either way. Gay men will likely say they were born that way.
But on the note of attraction, I'd say very likely many people are attracted to both or either gender/sex. With many species that expresses "homosexual" tendencies, they don't really care so much about the sexuality aspect, just... the sex. They have sex, not orientation.
I think there's a huge focus on trying to place people in boxes.

It's often treated as something for the pleasure of men.

I believe when people say that it actually has nothing to with
one's own sexual preference. It is saying that all love should be accepted. Do I believe this yes of course on the most part.
I do not support incest, *****, or zoophilia. Since in most cases of the three can be see as abuse.

Very little is known about what causes someone to be homosexual, bisexual, or transgendered. People are even unsure whether it is psycological, chemical, both, or neither. Even within the GLBT community people try to group other people into various categories and subcategories. We are all individuals.

Bleh, labels who needs em, you love who you love just love comes in many different flavours, a few require physical attraction to develop is all and nobody can help who they're attracted to.

The classic question of labels, my answer is labels are for those too uncomfortable in their own sexuality & too interested others' sexuality. The reason most people use them is because the above statement applies to society and thus people go along with society for convenience sake, labels are an easy out to complex questions. The only reason I ever use labels is to shorthand my sexual & gender preferences/expression.

The only reason I ever use labels is to shorthand my sexual & gender preferences/expression. What about race, ethnicity, religious identity, or country of origin? For example, I'm an Irish-American and Agnostic. All of those, labels. I could go on to say that one of my ancestors a few generations back was German, or that I was specifically born and raised in the North East part of the US. Labels give us a sense of identity and community which psychologically we all need.
