Myself, I'm ok with straight people. I have alot of friends and family who are heterosexual. It dosent bother me as long as they dont try to force themselves on me. What two people choose to do with their lives is none of my business, as long as they are happy. The only thing I dont like is when they feel the need to broadcast and tell everyone they are straight. They are always getting married and throwing parties to celebrate the fact that they sleep with the opposit gender. They like to go out in public and hold hands and kiss in broad daylight - like they are trying to get attention. Its no ones business except their own. What about you? Do you agree with heterosexuality?

I had better considering I'm straight. But as far as PDA's go, I'm not big on anyone doing that. There is a time and place for everything. I'm also not big on the whole wedding to do thing. It all seems like too much work and money for one day.

I hate PDA... especially when kids are around. Its the sign of someone with no class. The only thing I hate more is when adults swear in front of children. Eeeeg that really grinds my gears.

You and me both, my dear one. I forgot to add- when someone's heterosexuality makes someone (who is gay) feel uncomfortable. I work with a guy whose gay at work and some hetero people just make him feel uncomfortable. He says that he just can't relate to them. I can understand where he is coming from but I just have to remind him, fake it. He is comfortable with who he is and that is what matters. Who cares what someone that you don't know thinks anyway or what they say even matters??? That seems to be a constant battle I have at work with him lately but we are working through it. :)

I don't know that I "agree" with heteroseuality, Tee, but it's something we all have to accept, like it or not. But they make it difficult to do, don't they, with all their public displays of affection, and in-your-face attitude about all of it. Just try to be patient with them, darling. They're blissfully unaware of the effect they have on the rest of the world. They're like children in that way, I think. So we have to pat them on their little heads, and hope that like children, they remain seen and not heard. Or heard and not seen. Ok, fine! Not seen and not heard! Cheeky little things, those "straights". Forward! I say! Never straight, always forward!!!!

I know we have to just accept them and move ahead GAYLY FORWARD... but I still have a hard time with it. And I guess there have been breeders around since the begining of humanity... but still I struggle with the concept. I dont have to understand them, but I will accept them!

I say live and let live, but, why do they always want to recruit children into their lifestyle? And you're right, the public dispays of affection, are they really necessary? I think not.

It's the Straight Agenda... sometimes I feel like they want to make everyone like them...

LOL Pose, great point there. Unfortunatly it may be too late... it seems like these days the media is flooded with images of men kissing women and pushing the heterosexual agenda.

I greatly enjoyed reading your post. It is the polar opposite of what most people would be posting about homosexuality... and since it is about heterosexuality, it almost seems silly. Why is this? Clearly it is because of the standards set by society today. Personally, I have no problem with anyone as long as they are not hurting others... and that includes every topic. I would like people to let me live my life in peace... so I might as well grant others the same respect.

I would have to say I am okay with straight people concidering I am one. I'm guessing this was done to make a point? If so, I would say very well said. But I will also say this, it threw me off coming from you.

Being straight myself I have to tell you Tee pump your brakes. Its not that they are broadcasting their preference, they are broadcasting their love for each other (although, I don't like seeing two ANYTHING smooching all in public. Jeez get a room!!!) But they aren't trying to throw it in your face that they are heterosexual at these parties and Wedding Ceremonies, just like homosexuals aren't trying to broadcast they are by holding commitment ceremonies. Love is beautiful, no matter what form its in, so just embrace it Tee.

I agree hunny and you know me... always stirring the pot :p I just got tired of all these discussions where people get to voice their opinions about gay people. I thought it was high time someone voiced their opinion of straights :p And just so we are clear, of course I dont mean all that stuff. It's just a way of holding up a mirror to show people how ridiculous they sound. xxoxoxox Tee

Right Tee, sure you are. I've seen the way you look at me when I hold hands with my male friends, the snide remarks you make because I've never been in the closet. Just admit it Tee, you hate me because I'm straight!!! lol

It has nothing to do with me. I respect their choice although they are straight people. This is their privacy and nobody should blame it. They can have their own choice. Even a boy and a girl kissing in public can be disturbing. So I think it's the same for straight people kissing in public. Just have the suitable behavior in a right place and it won't bother anybody. I love China

Heck yeah I agree with heterosexuality. I love my straight hunky guy friends. The best eye candy a girl can have. I love my straight bestfriend and close female friends. But seriously, I am straight and most of my friends are straight. I have some friends who are either lesbian or gay and they are the coolest people and I am glad to have them in my life. I accept them for who they are even though its hard for me sometimes to understand why they prefer someone of the same gender. But, hey, if they are happy and we all can still hang out and have a good laugh, thats all good. And you know whats funny, straight people when they do their little PDA in public really, we are not looking for attention. It doesn't occur to us that we are trying to show the world that being straight is okay. And I am pretty sure that some of the people on this discussion agree with me. I think that homosexuals are the ones "trying to get attention". Some people in this world don't agree with their "lifestyle" therefore they must prove that what they have is real love; the same love that straight people have for each other.

I have to respectfully disagree with this. If a straight couple is simply showing affection for each other by public displays of affection, why is it when a gay couple does the same exact thing , they are all of a sudden trying to get attention. Are they not allowed to show their affection like straight people do?

I have no problem with my sexuality. I am confident, I am straight and I am happy but I do have problems with people who are keeping their real sexuality secret because whether they like it or not, they are hurting people around. My circle of friends are gays and I am happy with them. They are fun to be with unlike those people pretending high and mighty and as for PDA's, I am their no. 1 critic because I know that if your have affection to someone, your actions will show it but you don't have to overdo it.

Exactly! If you love someone you should be able to say "I love you" with nothing but a glance. When my boyfreind and I are in public we dont need to prove anything to anyone... if I want to show him I love him, I give him the look.. and he knows what I am thinking. Making out and stuff like that, to me, is a sugn of insecurity.

I just move up with the holy scriptures so i dont just accept people who aren't straight, and i would move closer to them unless and until if im forced to and i will be comfortable with people who are straight and walking accordingly to scriptures.

Umm, hmm. I guess since heterosexuality chose me...I am for it. Yet, I am not against homosexuality either. I don't really think about either all that much. I wish other people didn't, maybe the world would be a happier place for a couple minutes.

It's ok with me as long as they don't discriminate people who aren't. For me everyone should respect each other's preferences. Heterosexuality as well as other gender preferences are ok to me as long as they respect each other's choices.
