A minor incident in a barber’s shop last week has helped me to realise that I may no longer be gay. Not a fully fledged homo, anyway; perhaps not even a part-timer who helps the team out when it’s busy. It appears I may be going straight.

At the BBC, where I worked for seven years, homosexuality was very nearly compulsory.

Bop to please or bop to breed?
Whatever.
I like females; half the peep's mileage varies.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

So the guy was bisexual and never knew it until now, so what? I was "heterosexual" all my life, tho' the signs were there if anyone had pointed them out to me, but fell madly in love with a woman at the late age of 51. Big deal. She's gone now, I'm not attracted to other women OR other men and still love my husband of 30+ years. And lest anyone get freaky, yes, he knew about her, he gave us permission to explore our relationship (as would I have done if it were reversed), and she lived with us for 4-1/2 years. Judge me however you wish, those of you with closed minds.

Thing is, some people are one, some are another; sometimes if one considers the PERSON, not the sexuality, one will be surprised. He just never considered women seriously...I hope this one works out, or the woman will be the loser; I'm a bit skeptical of his CHOOSING to seek a woman specifically to have a family. Have to ask him after a few years.

Quote:
I wince when gays describe boyfriends as “husbands”, subverting a solemn institution created to provide stability for child-rearing. Besides, it seems highly perverse that gays should fight for freedom from the bonds of heterosexual morality and then set to copying their oppressors by creating similar contracts of their own.

That, however, is sick. Gays don't fight for freedom from "heterosexual morality", they fight for the right to live their lives as everyone else does. Everyone deserves respect and the right to love and have children they can cherish and bring up. It's not a REASON to be hetero, nor should it be a reason to BAN anyone from being homosexual.

Upon thinking on it and rereading, I don't think I trust this guy. I think he either followed peer pressure and "thought" he was gay, wasn't naturally so, doesn't realize it's possible to love a PERSON, whatever their sex, or is full of bullshit and propagating a false story...possibly for religious propaganda reasons?

Since my own "awakening", I've given it a lot of thought. I wish our species were able to get past this sexual orientation thing. Seriously. I think if we were free of the biological AND SOCIETAL constraints, we'd find (as I did) that it's possible to love a PERSON, not just a person of this sex or that. It might get rid of an awful lot of bad things, if it ever happened, and it would be in my mind a form of healthy evolution. We should be capable of more than just finding one sex attractive; we should be capable of finding individual PEOPLE attractive. Won't happen in my lifetime, or anyone else here's, I know, but I think it would be forward movement.

It's as bad one way as the other, in my opinion. I live near San Francisco, and I'm sad for the people I see who feel the need to be "really" gay--I've a feeling that if society weren't what it is, their flamboyance isn't something they'd feel the need for. I worked for a law office once, one of the women lawyers and one of the men lawyers were gay; you'd never know it. That's how I'd like to see it; just PEOPLE.

and an opinion.

It never occurred to me to care whether someone else was gay, straight, bi, or whatever. Way I figure it, if two (or more) consenting adults can find someone to love in this crazy old world, then more power to 'em.
