woosh
This is what YOU believe. Which is fine. I believe it, too.
That being said, I can understand where people may (or may not) be coming from when they think that gay people are constantly hitting on everyone in their same sex because they like to have sex with people of their same sex.
It's very similar to the thought that men and women cannot have a truly platonic friendship.
People that prescribe to the
When Harry Met Sally view of relationships.
I fail to see how that's not relevant to the conversation, and how the conventional wisdom in the United States even was once that men and women could not have platonic relationships (and for a long time were kept separate by society because of it).
I mean, sure, I mentioned other cultures/religions, but I also don't think that the culture/society of the US during the victorian period is the same as the culture/society of the US now.
