Do You Think That Homosexuals/Bisexuals Should Have To "Come Out"?

Nobody HAS to do anything if they don't want to. However, if someone is gay (or straight for that matter) you should be proud of who you are and not try to hide it from people just because you're affraid of what they might think. There's nothing wrong with homosexuality and the only problem with it is this BS stigma that it's not natural and it's against "God's way" or anything of that sort. As for me, in the words of the great Henry Rollins "If I were gay there'd be no closet, I'd have burnt it for kindling by the time I was twelve"

I really think just like you that sexuality is not that of a big deal, i think that it all depends on how you look at it, and i look at it as natural thing. I do believe that all people are born bi, and then choose what they prefer the most and stick with it, or not choose, and stay bi their all life, and just fall in love with a person without thinking of it's gender. the problematic situation begins when there are people that are dear to you, like family, that are very conservative, and i think that it is only fair, to tell them that you are bringing your partner which is of the same gender as you, to dinner, so the mother or father won't faint out of surprise. lol. But otherwise. no. it is not a big deal. And i do not think that people should step out of the closet, because i do think that they should not be in a closet.

No, but people make a big deal out of it. I really do not care whether a person is homosexual or not, just as long as they are good people and do not harm others.

I think people should be able to live life on their own terms as long as they are not causing harm to themselves...or others. Emotional safety or the lack of it is usually at the root of why most do/do not behave in certain ways. I agree with you that people love each other in whatever way seems appropriate to them. In my view we were given free will...and it is time that everyone was more respectful about honoring choices other people decide to make...whether they agree or not.

It's none of my business to know what people are no more than it's their business to know what I am. I'd rather people kept it to themselves instead of parading about it in one manner or another. I don't need to know nor do I want to know. It's between them and God and their partner in love. I'm not included so it has nothing to do with me so why tell me? I'm not here to judge but here to be good to others and pray that they'll be good to me.

I'm with you on this one. I don't see why it matters. A person should be happy being who they are, no matter what that is. And 'coming out' wouldn't be such a big deal anyway if everyone thought that. But hey, there are always going to be people who want to rock the boat. That's life.

I know what your saying..and it shouldnt be..but it always will be..because there will always be prejudice in the world..and it will always be a big deal..i personally dont understand why people get so homophobic..its not what kind of person they are and hell most of the time i have found wayy nicer gay people than straight lol..i think everyone just need to get over the fact there will always be different people..with very different ways..and not to judge them..its just time that we all relize and people need to grow up and just accept the fact..:)

It's so not a big deal.If someone asks me, I let them know what I am, otherwise, i just live, and evolve within my mortal ken,lol.

No. People should be able to keep their sexuality secret. Not everyone in this world is accepting, and there are times where it is better for the person to be ill-informed about the truth. It should be up to the person to decide if they want to explore outside of the closet, or not.

I think that I completely agree with you, especially about the stigma part. It's sad that it has to be such a big deal and that people would be hateful to someone who comes out. In my eyes I also feel that it's just one part of what makes a person themselves and to feel that they have to hide it at risk of losing friends or family just makes me sad. Seems to me like everyone should just assume that anyone else could be anything and that if one day a guy brings his boyfriend to Christmas dinner then that's great. It would be wonderful to live in a world where people are just accepted for who they truly are instead of having to feel bad about it.
