Hey, you remember me?
Even though I have a knack for the offensive, and take great pride in my skill to agitate and irritate people, this post is not intended to be a platform for gay bashing or judging. So please keep your comments civil and as on topic as possible. If you would like to make a disparaging remark about homosexuals, please log into your account at www.IgnorantBiggot/ImADumbass.gov.
The question I submit to my LGBT friends and friends of LGBT persons is this. What are your feelings about a female that avidly lives the lesbian lifestyle, and publicly expresses disgust for male genitally for years, then out of the blue "decides" to be straight and gets married to a man?
A little background; As I've walked this earth for several decades I have had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people. I have known a few (more than 3) females that fit the scenario previously presented. These women all seem to fit into a similar class. They would not be considered attractive by the grossly skewed and highly overrated standards of the world. They all appear to have low self esteem and body image issues. And they all crave to be loved, as we all do. So I've often asked myself, "self, are these gals pretending to be lesbian to find companionship from women who are naturally less judgmental?".
Lets call our example female Olga. My question is, is Olga pretending to be a lesbian to find companionship with other females, or when a man shows interest is Olga pretending to be straight to fit in with perceived social norms? And what intrigues me more is how is this changing-of-teams viewed by others that live the LGBT lifestyle? Is Olga shunned for being a liar? Or is Olga shunned for being straight? Personally, I think Olga should be accepted for Olga, no matter which way her flag is flying. I'm sure most people, either hetero or homosexual, feel the same way. But just as there are straight people with very obscene and warped views, I can only assume there are those minorities in the LGBT community with the same mental deficiency.
A point of clarification, in case my choice of words are misconstrued; I don't believe being straight or homosexual is a choice. You're either born with tendencies to be attracted to people of the same sex, or the opposite sex. But people choose how they respond to those feelings. So when I say "choose to live the lifestyle", I'm not saying that there is a choice between being gay or not.
Back to Olga, I'd like to know your opinions. It doesn't matter one way or the other, Olga is free to choose as she wishes and we should all be respectful of her choices. But my morbid sense of curiosity would like to hear your points of view. The more points of view a person has on a subject allows one with an open mind to expand their understanding. (That sounds pretty zen. I think I discovered a new mantra).

Do you believe people are born being Bi?
ReplyDeleteOh and welcome back! I've always enjoyed reading your 'rants'. :)
ReplyDeleteI do believe a person can be attracted to both sexes. However, I've also known people that had a complete hatred for make parts and talked openly about ther disgust for them and males in general and then ended up with a man. That doesn't make a lot of sense. But also indicates some deeper issues and pain.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe someone can be born with attraction to both genders. But just as Ang mentioned, the people I've know were very vocal about their disgust for men.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had someone in my life that expressed hatred for the sex that they ended up with. Definitely on the same page as Ang, some deeper issues and pain going on. Would be very interested in having a conversation with them.. see how they tick.
