I've seen most people here think people saying things like 'being gay is a choice' is offensive, but I also see people here saying straight people are not 100 percent straight. I know this is most likely wishful thinking really from you guys and in some people this might be the case, but isn't that attitude just saying the same thing as 'sexuality is a choice' with different words? I hope I have explained myself well and that I have not caused offence, I was just wondering.
I haven't heard people saying "straight people are not 100% straight" a lot but honestly I don't think that's true. Some people are 100% straight. Just like you can't make a gay person straight, you can't make a straight person gay. Sexuality inherently, and at its core, isn't a choice. And that applies to being straight as much as it applies to any other sexuality. I just think that sometimes there is always confusion between being able to find someone good looking, and being attracted to them. People can say that straight people aren't 100% straight because they might be able to find someone of the same sex good looking, or be affectionate towards someone of the same sex...but unless they actually develop sexual/romantic attraction towards someone of the same sex, they are still straight. And if they do develop those feelings...well they weren't straight in the first place, despite maybe social factors or whatnot making them believe so before that point in time. But long story short. Some people are indeed 100% straight. Some people are also 100% gay. Sexuality isn't a choice.
I think a lot of that stems from a small group, and isn't really indicative of the community as a whole. The only other thing I could think of is the recent(ish) outburst of straight people having gay sex for money in the porn industry and whatnot. But that doesn't really say much about your sexuality. A straight male can sleep with a male just as much as a gay male can sleep with a female.
I don't think saying ''being gay is a choice'' is offensive, it's just not correct. The problem is that some people use this as a free pass to offend the LGBT community. I also don't agree with ''No one is 100% straight''. Some people (in my opinion, most people) are 100% straight, just like some are 100% gay.
