| Jump to Survey | Thanks! | | Jump to Survey | I realize why this was multi-choice. I chose two answers. But...I'm not a girl nor am I raising children. Difficult for me to share a meaningful opinion on this one. | | Jump to Survey | There's only one problem I have with your expressed views (however you mentioned it twice): the word "choice". This survey purports to reveal everyone's honest view: Is sexuality a choice?
Given your response, maybe the most apparent difference between gay and bi is that bi's believe sexuality is a choice? I know I could choose to live a straight life - I even tried desperately to carry out such a life for seventeen years (12 - 29). Got laid, got married - the whole bit. And, quite frankly, does the fact that I did live out the straight way of life for so long qualify me as a "bi"? I don't know.
But, since 12 years old (actually, I was three when I knew I was different from other boys), all that was an act I had to deliberately carry out to appear straight - and I felt it was a necessity of survival.
I remember Thanksgiving Day at 12 years old, spending most of the day hidden, crying my eyeballs out because I discovered I was "a homosexual". Then, "hating God" for it; then, growing determined to change it; then (17 years later) realizing that I just wasn't going to achieve that goal in life.
How could anyone choose to be attracted to a certain gender? If that is your case...first, I believe it if you do; second, I am envious that you have a "choice" in the matter at all. If I ever had the choice, I would have been the first in line to "be cured". Give me the shot, pop me the pill, top it off with shock treatment. It all would have saved me so much hatred and disgust for myself, and one hell of a lot of lonely, undisclosed heartache.
I'd love to know what sort of person I would be if I were straight. (Although the few gay friends I have called me "the straightest gay" they know - ha!) Of course now, having been in a once-in-a-lifetime relationship with the same incredible man for so long, I "choose" to no longer "act". Screw it - my partner was worth the whole fight...with myself and the world. |
