@bgibb101 Yeah 'cos you know animals can consent to sex and incest doesn't cause genetic abnormalities just like in gay and straight marriages. Seriously, go read a book or something.

@bgibb101 ment of what is "normal" is your opinion, and not fact. What heterosexuality is, basically, is just a majority. "Normal" and "majority" are not necesarily the same thing.

[Izlandzadi14]

@bgibb101 Well yeah, that's the whole point, "normal" is relative, just like tastes are relative. So you can't just go spewing off your ideas of "normal" as if it applies to everybody, since it doesn't. And my ideas of normal did not come from my orientation, I just figured that there isn't just one standard of normal. It's normal for me to be able to walk, for some people, it's not normal if they were born with no legs. Heterosexuality is normal for you, but not for me. So therefore, your state

[Izlandzadi14]

@bgibb101 But not as bad as faggot,since it can be either an insult or a technical term. The point is, what's insulting is different to everyone, and you might as well just stick with the technical terms because there are lots of undefined rules about saying anything else, especially if speaking against the people that you're talking about.

[bgibb101]

@Izlandzadi14 - No I use "queer" instead of 'faggot," which IS an insulting trerm.

[Izlandzadi14]

@bgibb101 like you. And if you really think it's easier at all being gay or lesbian or anything "not straight" you have no idea what you're talking about. So, in conclusion, it's not easier, it's not any less "safe", it all depends on what precautions you take. And it's not "immoral", at least I don't believe it to be, why can't you deal with just letting people find their own religious (or non-religious) path through life without being an asshole about it?

[Izlandzadi14]

@bgibb101 I have morals. I'm a good person. Don't talk to me like that, just because you're straight doesn't mean you're any better. "Open Minded" isn't the same as being a slut, some people use that as an excuse, but I'm not. I'm 17, and I'm one of the safest people around. I've never gotten drunk, or high, or had sex in my life. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I can honestly say that it's so obvious to me how easy it would be to act straight, just so I don't have to deal with people

[Izlandzadi14]

@bgibb101 Yeah, well, you're just setting that up for yourself because it's obvious you're saying it as an insult.

[bgibb101]

@Izlandzadi14 - "Opened Minded?" or just indulging yourself in deviant sexual activity because it easier than living a moral life? I wonder how you will really feel be when you end up dying in despair and agony from some filthy disease you acquired by being "open minded."
