Whoever says same-sex sexual attraction is unnatural is a liar.

[Jonathan Bailey]

That does not make logical sense. If we were born predisposed to other expressions of sexuality, why would we ever have developed taboos against it? After all, we were born predisposed to like salt and sugar, and we did not develop taboos against them. And we were born predisposed to live in cooperative groups, and we did not develop taboos against that. We were born predisposed to believe in invisible spirits, and we did not develop a taboo against that. So why would we have developed a taboo against a natural predisposition toward bi-sexuality? Why wouldn't we simply have built that accommodation into our cultural 'norms'? And why aren't we seeing it as commonplace among the very primitive cultures?
Misogyny is a different discussion. That's just the heterosexual majority protecting and enforcing it's own agenda. It's not the cause of their heterosexuality, it's the result.

How do we know for fact that the majority of the human race is truly "heterosexual" (attracted to the opposite sex and only the opposite sex) in spite of what we can only observe on the surface? It's safe to assume that same-sex attraction or arousal is largely covered up. Nobody covers up their inclination to be attracted to the opposite sex. Nor do they feel the need to. The world is not yet 100% safe to be openly attracted to the same sex on a widespread basis. We see all these men with wives and girlfriends and children but what are they secretly really feeling and thinking sexually? Sexual orientation stems from human thoughts and emotions, not actions. Actions follow feelings. I long for the day when two boys can go to any high school dance or student function holding hands in a public American school fearlessly and shamelessly. No fear of getting beat up, laughed at or called names.

Human males under 5'3" or over 6'3" (or females under 4'10" or over 5'10") occur about as often as homosexuals. Does that mean that the very short or very tall are "deviant" because they are anomalies?

I'm a gay male close to 6'4".
Does that mean I'm super Queer?

No, but you'd be ridiculous in heels and a high bouffant wig!

We are not observing the majority of humans engaging is bi- or homosexual behavior. And most humans are telling us that they are not bi- or homosexual. That pretty much seals the deal, don't you think?

It's safe to assume that same-sex attraction or arousal is largely covered up. Nobody covers up their inclination to be attracted to the opposite sex. Nor do they feel the need to.

People think and feel all sorts of things that they do not want to act upon, because it's not who they are, or who they want to be. What we think or feel does not define who and what we are. What we do, does.

The world is not yet 100% safe to be openly attracted to the same sex on a widespread basis.

That makes very little difference. Our sexual choices involve much, much more than "safety", or public opinion.

We see all these men with wives and girlfriends and children but what are they secretly really feeling and thinking sexually?

Who cares? What matters is who they actually are to themselves and to those they care about.

Sexual orientation stems from human thoughts and emotions, not actions.

No, it doesn't.

Actions follow feelings.

No, they don't. Actions follow choices.

I long for the day when two boys can go to any high school dance or student function holding hands in a public American school fearlessly and shamelessly. No fear of getting beat up, laughed at or called names.

That will only come about by deliberate choice.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I disagree. "Attraction" is subjective, while actions are not. If we are going to choose one or the other as a determinant factor for defining sexuality, it's going to have to be action, or the whole discussion will devolve into one personal opinion against another. There would be no way of quantifying any form of sexuality.

Whether or not you desire sex and/or a romantic relationship with someone isn't very subjective. You either fancy someone or you don't.
