I think you do because you said something about "personal responsibility", which would be a meaningless phrase to add if you didn't think there was something wrong about it. My preference for brocolli, for example, would not cause you to utter anything about personal responsibility.
You did help me understand what K was talking about, though. He seems to think that "being bisexual" is more often than not a "fad choice" rather than a real preference (whether genetic or choice).
That opinion seems a bit odd to me, I must admit. If someone is hetero- OR homo-sexual, then I don't see them enjoying being with someone of the wrong sex. So this person "choosing" to be bisexual because it's the in thing seems farfetched.
While I'm not going to try to argue you out of your opinion/belief, I do want to make sure you are aware of how it colors your dealings with others - as my opinions/beliefs obviously color my own relationships.
Believing that sexual preference is something one can choose to "fight" in order to do "the right thing" can cause you to offend others if you aren't careful with your words. (I don't think I'm telling you anything you don't already know, but I like to elaborate for the audience, just in case.)
Your analogy equates being overweight to actually having gay sex. Being overweight is a condition known to be hazardous to your health in several ways, not to mention the social stigma attached to it. Having same-sex relations is not inherently negative, aside from the social stigma. Unless you have a personal belief that it is somehow bad (e.g., sinful). |
