TR, for the most part, has it right. I just want to know how you think we are forcing it upon you. Yes, we sometimes end up posting into other topics designated for this, but we don't have some "let's force our sexuality upon heterosexuals" agenda. It's simply having fun talking to each other. We're not forcing anything on you. If you think about, what you think we are forcing on you could go the other way. Talking about wives, children, girlfriends, and posting pics of women is what you would call "forcing" it on homosexuals. Many heterosexual memebers here do that. It's no different. I think there is a little bit of a problem toward our sexuality. If otherwise, you wouldn't have had any problems what so ever. My family is like this, so I have first hand experience. It's why I'm very hesitant to come out to them.
As for this not being alright for the Lounge.... Well, in the 2 years that I've been here, it hasn't changed much. This sort of stuff has always been existant and generally accepted. The language, the jokes, the very nature of threads like this... It's nothing new. Quite frankly, you're just going to have to deal with it or ignore it altogether.
And as for your daughter, look at the demographics of this forum of the active members. The age group 15-20 years old has more than any other while they are predominately male. This ties in with the above paragraph as well.
First, there is no reason for this thread to be closed.
Second, you do not get it at all. It's not because of society... a lack of certain role models or such. You are born with it. It is a sexual attraction. It's a part of you that's almost instinctive and can't be influenced. You are either attracted, or you are not. I don't know how else to explain it. Well... I could add one more point, very bluntly. Men make my ... hard, women don't. It's always been like that except I've only recently been able to accept it. Do you understand at all?
