I prefer the term heterosexist. Homophobia implies a fear of homosexuality, while heterosexism is more accurate a term. Anti-gayism is about people being in their "proper" gender roles. Heterosexism isn't just about keeping gay people in their place, it's also about keeping straight people in their places.

Heterosexism is just as much about keeping the woman barefoot and pregnant as it is about ensuring that men are manly and in charge. Remember, one of the biggest insults to straight men is to call them a punk (in Black slang a punk is someone who takes it up the ass) or ******. It implies you aren't acting like a real man. It's about conformity.

well said, Chegitz

Oh, so that was what Lonestar meant... It just proves that the insultee must understand the insult

My goodness I went through several threads and it reminds me of watching a session of the Argentinian Congress on the news.... ugh.... they could on for six hours talking about a little issue. You people remind me of them... always arguing. Never actually doing anything productive.

Gays and bisexuals are humans too. And so are people who are black. And people who are jewish. And muslims. Their all humans and I think they deserve to be treated like humans. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with their being people who have pride in heterosexuality, not so when it gets extreme.

Well, this is my rare post, see you in about say a month.

Is it just me, or has Gian mellowed? Good points there.

Yeah, but the only thing is, heterosexuals don't need 'heterosexual pride'. Heterosexual is defined as the 'norm' in society, is the majority of the population and thus society is based around it. There is no need for it.

[MrFun]

Exactly, Provost -- but the original topic was bisexuality.

Who believes in the theory that we are all fundamentally bisexual? What are good sources to read about this theory?

[Solly]

Sources? You mean you want to read books that tell you what you already believe...?

I think that that is a cop out. According to most of the posts, hetero sexuals are no longer defined as normal; homo-and bi sexuality is just as acceptable. Therefore, heteros should be allowed to show heterosexual pride. Saying that they shouldn't is discrimination. It implies that you should be proud to be gay but not proud (or ashamed) to be straight. I don't think that that is right.

Oh and BTW Nationalist, homosexuality and bisexuality are increasing in social acceptance, but we still have a long ways to go in terms of equal housing, employment, safety in our high schools and colleges, and other issues on top of these.

[Provost Harrison]

nationalist, I feel no need whatsoever to be demonstrative about my sexuality (in this context). I don't feel threatened, like I need to make a point, like I need to make my presence known. Hence there is no need for 'straight pride'.

Hmm, I thought I was great at going off on a tangent with my essay writing...

First up, Infat seems on top form. As usual his brilliant insight into absolutely everything has shown me the way. I must go and tell all my bi friends to stop being so trendy.

Second, bisexuality seems to be a rather more unadressed issue and I know gay people who dislike bisexuals. I don't get it.

It's called being immature and juvenile, and hypocritical. They have the same challenges and problems, yet resort to the same tactics they have been the victim of. Sickening in fact.
