thenumberone : I don't think we disagree too much. There is some sort of benefit to having someone related by blood raising the child, but generally the gay/lesbian couple are much better alternatives than raised by social services, single parents, etc. I don't think we disagree too much.

Bisexuality - Attracted be it physically or mentally to both genders. Homosexuality - being attracted to the same gender be it mentally or physically Bisexuality is different than homosexuality no matter how big you see the difference and therefore should NOT be treated as homosexuality. Personally I am pansexual which is you don't judge people by their genitalia so they could have a penis, vagina or literally nothing and you would be attracted to them. However, my views on people's sexuality are extremely strong. I don't consider any sexuality the same as another and I have never considered a sexuality to be an illness as that is just the ignorance of humans to believe any sexuality other than heterosexuality isn't natural. I went off topic a bit here but Bisexuality isn't homosexuality however it contains homosexuality. Homosexuality isn't Bisexuality however it contains bisexuality. I hope this helped in any way.

Txgangsta :
well obviously in an ideal world, all kids would be with blood relatives. Even kids that are adopted by loving people can be mentally scarred by the knowledge their own blood didnt want them. But as you said, its about getting them the best possible option available. Expnightfire : Perhaps its my own ignorance showing here, but then whats the fundamental difference between bisexuals and pansexuals? The two sound almost identical to me. Especially since a lot of bisexuals say they dont care what gender the person they love is. well obviously in an ideal world, all kids would be with blood relatives.

thenumberone : Bisexuality is the attraction of a man or a woman to both men and women.
Pan sexuality is the attraction of a man, woman or gender queer (somebody who doesn't identify as a man or woman) to men women, transgender people, gender queer people, etc. They typically believe that gender doesn't matter within a relationship.

thenumberone : Bisexuals don't care what gender they like true but I know bisexuals that say people without genitalia or people who don't define as a gender are weird and they don't like them. Pansexuals do not care if you have a penis vagina or nothing that is how they're different as Bisexuals are attracted to penis and vagina Pansexuals are attracted to anyone no matter what their genitalia may be. Pansexuals are normally something other than pansexual as well example I am also sapiosexual which is being attracted to intelligence. Bisexuals don't always have to be something other than bisexual but it is entirely possibly however not extremely common.

Well Bisexuality and Homosexuality are two different things. Bisexuality means you like both genders male and female, and homosexuality means you like members that are of the same gender(sex) of your own. But regardless if a(n) individual is bisexual or homosexual they shouldn't be discriminated against and there are laws in place to discourage and stop discrimination on race, religion, gender and sexual preference. |

I don't think bisexuality and homosexuality should be treated any differently from heterosexuality. Thus, nor should bisexuality from homosexuality. I think it's inconsiderate to say that straight, gay and bi people are different, since a person's sexuality is only a small part of a person's individuality. Of course bisexuals and homosexuals are a bit different, since bisexuals don't limit their sexual attraction to a gender, but why SHOULD they be treated differently? Nowadays we focus too much on the sexual image of a person instead of thinking that there are all sorts of factors that make up a personality. How does me liking men affect my personality in any other manner than me not trying to hit on women? And that's it. Let's say that instead I liked women and I'd then obviously not flirt with men, but how does that affect my personality in any way? I'd still be the silly me I am despite going for the other party. The problem with homophobes is that they're unable to see gay people as anything else but sexual predators whose whole personalities consist of nothing but their sexual preference. And that's why homosexuality is still looked down upon by certain people and perhaps bisexuals don't want to be labeled into the same group? I really don't know much about that but let's just forget about these labels stamped on our foreheads, love anybody and everybody and be proud of OURSELVES, not our sexual preferences. |

ive always look at bisexuality as "half gay". nothing wrong with it, but thats what it is. sometimes you choose you want a man, sometimes you choose a woman. its the same as being hetero or homo, except instead of choosing the same thing every time, you mix it up. now PANsexuality, thats a different story entirely. though i still dont care what you choose to have sex with, banging animals is quite a bit different than banging another man. now PANsexuality, thats a different story entirely. though i still dont care what you choose to have sex with, banging animals is quite a bit different than banging another man. |

TetraDigm : Like I said before, this is the definition of Pansexuality:
Pan sexuality is the attraction of a man, woman or gender queer (somebody who doesn't identify as a man or woman)transgender people etc. They typically believe that gender doesn't matter within a relationship. Not the fact that they want to have sexual relationships with animals. That is called Bestiality, or Zoophilia.

maguc : i dont know what fake definition youre quoting, but this is the REAL definition pf pansexual. exhibiting or implying many forms of sexual expression in very few people does pansexuality have anything to do with ones sex. most who identify as pansexual, in fact do so because they have a sexual attraction to different species, not because they are gay or bi. because "transgender" isnt actually a gender. nor is "gender queer", a terribly derogatory term used by the media, and a handful of propaganda spreaders. protip: any time you call a persona queer based on sexuality, in ANY way, you are gay bashing. exhibiting or implying many forms of sexual expression in very few people does pansexuality have anything to do with ones sex. most who identify as pansexual, in fact do so because they have a sexual attraction to different species, not because they are gay or bi. because "transgender" isnt actually a gender. nor is "gender queer", a terribly derogatory term used by the media, and a handful of propaganda spreaders. protip: any time you call a persona queer based on sexuality, in ANY way, you are gay bashing. |

TetraDigm : Actually, Pansexuality is this:
Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual attraction, sexual desire, romantic love, or emotional attraction toward people of all gender identities and biological sexes. That is the true definition of Pansexual. Plus, I meant Genderqueer, not as in bashing, but in the sense of this: Genderqueer is most commonly used to describe a person who feels that his/her gender identity does not fit into the socially constructed "norms" associated with his/her biological sex. Genderqueer is an identity that falls anywhere between man/boy/male and woman/girl/female on the spectrum of gender identities.

Can someone clarify this for me? What exactly do you mean by treated differently? I find it very hard to imagine treating one as an equal to heterosexual people (the current society's standards) and treating the other as "lesser". If that is the case, then the obvious clear answer is "no, we should treat them as equals because any other way would be inhumane and very discriminatory". If we are speaking in the terms of how we act around the other types of sexuality to make them more comfortable, then ya, do so. I might say something completely ignorant right now, so if I do then by all means correct me: Heterosexual guys/girls get uncomfortable when the opposite sex is around them, especially if they are attracted to that specific individual, correct? Guys don't get very close, unless they are making a move of course, and treat them respectfully. Guys to guys whoever, we get physical and do all types of things to each other that would be considered inappropriate and would just be plain awkward if done with a girl. Situations, for example, like wrestling around on the floor (not all guys do this, but some do). Based off that information, I can only assume that these sexuality's would be similarly uncomfortable in the following situations: -Guys like to rough-house, or atleast, some of them do. It could be an uncomfortable situation if a guy attracted to other guys find's himself having to get close to one and roll around on the ground with him. Anyways, I would imagine so, especially if I liked the dude. I wouldn't be comfortable myself if the girl I liked decided to jump on me and roll around. -I really have no example for girls because I really have no idea what they do alone together...I only know what they do around guys so I can't really give an example from a girls point of view, sorry. I would only guess that they do stuff that creates a similar situation as was above :/ Hopefully you get what I am trying to say, and if it is wrong in any way then please tell me. I really have no idea what it's like to be attracted to my own gender, so the only actual information I have to go on is to assume the same awkwardness occurs with other sexuality's being around someone they are attracted to as if a guy and girl where doing these things. Again PLEASE tell me if I assumed wrong because I go to a school that bullies gays (ya, it pisses me off too) so I have next no experience with being around someone with different sexual orientations.
