Homosexuality a trend?

[New haven america]

I wouldn't jump at calling everything bullshit so fast.

I would, because it's obviously bollocks.

Well, some choose to be for some odd reason, when they aren't.
It does happen, but then they stop.

[Ifreann]

Not even. The stereotype that bisexuality is something that people claim off hand is simply unfounded.

I disagree. Nowadays, because of "sexual liberation," people are willing to "experiment" with whatever comes to mind. I'm not saying that boys didn't circle jerk a century ago or that girls didn't play with each other, but it has become much more commonplace.

Or perhaps you're only aware of such things because its becoming more acceptable to talk about them.

[Torcularis Septentrionalis]

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A TREND. It is NOT a choice. It is NOT a phase. It is NOT a fad.
For fuck's sake

I would say it's a combination of choice, social influences, and genetics.

And I would say you're fucking wrong.

[Kryozerkia]

A "real" one? As oppose to what? I'm sorry but that... that does not compute. Explain.

It did sound a bit dumb . But I'm not a psychic or anything but I'm sure most of these people are heterosexual that are commenting.

I'm getting scared...MOAR AND MOAR MODS!

I'm asexual/bi-curious but married 6 years. Oh and yes, MOAR MODS! I was morbidly curious when this thread was linked in the SEKRIT LAIR. So I came to check out. So, I'm interested, how would you differentiate?

[Cadaver breadsticks]

No. The only change is that people are much less afraid to come out nowadays.

this, end of thread, go home everyone

If you're going to lie on the internet you should at least go for something vaguely believable.

So genetics and social expectations don't affect peoples lives.
Ok then, that sounds right.

My gaydar went off and as the gay representative, I alerted the others.

I don't think so. Human sexuality has been discussed openly since Freud and Kinsey.

What's different today is that there is no longer an opprobrium attached to certain kinds of behavior.

Hey NSG! After doing to some observation I have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is somewhat of a trend. Now before you start calling me all types of assholes,please,here me out on this!

It's fair to say that in the "olden" days,homosexuality was well,not acceptable among family. It's also fair to say that since the beginning of the new millennium that homosexuality has somewhat skyrocketed among teens. Now let's all admit that at one point in time we all went through a phase of some sort. Weather it be, being goth or something of that nature, then we sort of grew out of it.

Nowadays kids think that homosexuality is...cool! Let's look at one video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJGuMEZhxgY. Since when did homothug among children become...cool?

Even teachers are against it.

But I know many of us have different opinions so please:
No trolling
Flaming
Slurs against gays

Its well documented in Roman and Greek society

[Breadknife]

I know people that had kids and were married

Edgy... that particular order was probably quite frowned upon, in those days...

then as soon as it was acceptable,they "came out".

Obviously previously having "come in". Hence the kids. And the extreme measure of hiding the homosexuality through that most hetero of things, an "unplanned" pregnancy. That's deep cover for you. Deep, deep cover. The closet is practically Narnian..


(j/k, in case I'm not being as obvious as I think I am)

[Tetryx]

Thank you...Katy Perry? You know what? I'm just gonna stop mentioning it, every time I talk to a mod/admin I get freakin' confused.

I have no clue what you're trying to say here.

And no, not Katy Perry. Ben Delacreme. A drag queen.

Ah, okay...thank you...I will probably not remember that despite my perfect memory, but I swear on. something that I will try.

[Frisbeeteria]

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A TREND. It is NOT a choice. It is NOT a phase. It is NOT a fad.

The choice part can be debated.

Sure, anything can be debated. You can debate whether gravity exists while falling from a tall building. Expect an abrupt rebuttal towards the end.

That's why I said the choice part was "Very Small".

Yeah...the mods that are stalking us have a point.

Choice isn't part of it, and I don't think society has any bearing on sexuality either.

[Phocidaea]

No.
It's simply that people can be gay without being either six feet under or six feet into the closet nowadays.

^^^

More people seem to be gay because being gay is no longer considered a disease or crime (in the modern world, anyway).

[Ifreann]

Or perhaps you're only aware of such things because its becoming more acceptable to talk about them.

I don't think so. Human sexuality has been discussed openly since Freud and Kinsey.

Maybe by Freud and Kinsey.

You assume.

And you're still claiming things with no evidence. Obviously wrong things.

[The Orson Empire]

I would say it's a combination of choice, social influences, and genetics.

And I would say you're fucking wrong.

It's very close-minded to say it is just either purely choice or genetics. It's a combination of many things.

[The Steel Magnolia]

Not particularly.

While I agree that bisexuality is sometimes just claimed off hand to seem...I dunno, edgy (because I've seen it happen), some people are genuinely bisexual. Although they typically prefer one gender.

[Tetryx]

Someone told me I have a habit for saying the wrong things...it was a NS friend too, or at least I consider them an NS friend >.>'

Anyways...I agree with Haven-kun, I forgot to read their latest message but I agree.

Except for the choice part.

[Genivaria]

A trend that has spanned all of recorded human history but sure, it's a 'trend'.
