chadra -> RE: Sexuality - straight or bi? (1/9/2013 9:13:15 AM)

Fast Reply Discussions on this are interesting to me. I don't believe the notions of heterosexuality and homosexuality are at all valid without considering the culture at large. Same-sex relationships have existed throughout history and throughout the world with huge variations of labeling associated with them. In some cases, the modern concept of homosexuality/bi-sexuality/heterosexuality/etc did not exist at all. It was simply not considered distinct from sexuality itself, and certainly not thought to be unusual in the least. Homophobia is a modern, western, idea. Not exclusively so, but certainly pervasive in our culture. To me, the interesting question is why would the OP care? I understand he's long gone and that this is an old thread, but to me it is a more useful question than is-he-bi? or is-he-straight? (as defined by modern standards).
