would you vote for or against?
personally I think its a non-issue.
what goes on behind closed doors is their own business.
would you be ok if they started making laws to tell you which sex positions are acceptable and which are not?

NMSquirre,
Against same-sex relationships? Neither.
What if it's in your face?
No.
It's the implementation you'd have to be weary of.

No, it wouldn't be. Words have meanings, and "sexual orientation" refers to whether someone is attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex. Rape is not sexual orientation; neither is romance, or porn, or Chevy big-block engines.
Then remove your face from the homosexual and the problem goes away.
Then that would be a fetish, which has a different definition.[/QUOTE]
Isn't a fetish something that is used to enhance arousal, not the arousal itself?
jan.
A fetish is a situation, object or body part that creates arousal that does not normally arouse people. It is not a sexual orientation.
what are you doing in their bedroom?
(much less why is your face there?)

I lived around the bay area (san fransisco, notorious homosexual safe zone) till I was 30, most of the gays that I have met (no,im not gay) are very respectful and do not flaunt it.
this is an issue that some ppl need to feel self righteous about themselves, so they make it a problem.
While most heterosexuals do flaunt it.
you left that wide open.. were you being sarcastic?
No, most don't. Perhaps most homosexuals you know flaunt it, but most homosexuals in society look like . . . anyone else. Which is why you are probably missing them.
billvon,
You're right, words do have meanings. One primary meaning of the word sexual is (from google, and Dictionary.com): relating to the instincts, physiological processes, and activities connected with physical attraction or intimate physical contact between individuals.
The Free dictionary has a slightly different take on it:
1. Of, relating to, involving, or characteristic of sex, sexuality, the sexes, or the sex organs and their functions.
2. Implying or symbolizing erotic desires or activity.
3. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction characterized by the union of male and female gametes: sexual reproduction.
''Orientation'' seems to be more straight forward:
1. the act or process of orienting or the state of being oriented
2. (Navigation) position or positioning with relation to the points of the compass or other specific directions
3. the adjustment or alignment of oneself or one's ideas to surroundings or circumstances
4. (Education) Also called: orientation course
a. a course, programme, lecture, etc, introducing a new situation or environment
b. (as modifier): an orientation talk.
5. (Psychology) psychol the knowledge of one's own temporal, social, and practical circumstances in life
6. basic beliefs or preferences: sexual orientation.
7. (Biology) biology the change in position of the whole or part of an organism in response to a stimulus, such as light
8. (Chemistry) chem the relative dispositions of atoms, ions, or groups in molecules or crystals
9. (Architecture) the siting of a church on an east-west axis, usually with the altar at the E end
Now then. My question to you is. Why has the term sexual orientation been stripped down to mean...
..."sexual orientation" refers to whether someone is attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex.''
Rape is not sexual orientation; neither is romance, or porn, or Chevy big-block engines.
Nicely explained away, with the appearance of extreme ease.
Why isn't rape, pedophilia, and beastiality, sexual orientations?

Sexual inuendo? How gay and in your face is that?

Because "sexual orientation" is defined as attraction to a sex (either the same sex or the opposite sex.)

Why is the definition so narrow?
Who defined it as such?
Why can't other sexual behaviors be defined as such given the definitve scope of the words contained in the phrase?

iceaura,
Then you should accept pedophilia as a sexual orientation because they claim, like LGBT'ers, that they do not choose their behavior.Their claim is they are born that way.
I take you don't, but the question remains. Why?
