So from a very
personal standpoint, I argue that sexual preference is not a choice.
I believe that sexual preference is very fluid, in the sense that it
could include a preference in gender (i.e. homosexuality), but even
within heterosexual couples fluid sexual preference still exists,
simply by recognizing what turns you on, may not -- in fact, most
likely will not -- be what turns another heterosexual couple on.
This is preference. Preference does not equal choice. |
Sure we may have
a choice to ignore our preferences, but I do not think that we have
the choice to genuinely prefer otherwise. I don’t feel that a man
who claims to be fully heterosexual could choose to kiss another
man, and it also be his preference. I am venturing to guess it would
not feel natural and furthermore may even disgust him. So why is it
that people assume that a homosexual person could choose other than
what feels natural to them, or put them in a position where they
feel as if morally they should have to?
Which brings me to
my next point: I do not want to know, or think of, or imagine what
you (heterosexual or homosexual) do in your bedroom, or wherever
else you may have sex . . . no offense. I do not even mean just
whoever is reading this, specifically, I mean anyone. Sex is so
intimate and so personal between the people having sex. The fact
that it is even up for deliberation what people may (or may not) be
doing behind closed doors, which are consensual acts between adults,
is beyond me. Homosexual couples acting on their sexual desires do
not hurt anyone. It does not affect anyone. People do not look at a
heterosexual human and immediately associate them to who they are
having sex with and then judge them according to that basis.
