If people could stop thinking in such dualistic terms, maybe people like LW1 would freak out less. Everyone wants to think of the world as divided into straights and gays (and for that matter, men and women).
It's not at all so black and white. There's a reason that the rainbow celebrates our diversity. Everyone just likes what they likeāif people could stop worrying so much about the label and what that must mean for their identities, it would all be a lot easier on everyone.

@68 ("Throwing an arm around a friend or sitting close is not exactly homosexual behavior -- it is normal behavior for straight boys too, bred out of American young men by homophobia. Grabbing ass might indicated gayness, but can also be childish horsing around."):
They're in a gay bar, ignoring their girlfriends whom they aren't even sitting with. That makes it way more homosexual behavior than in other circumstances.

Savage Love Letter of the Day.
I think I remember seeing Paris Hilton recently say, "I don't do that. My mother says that only ugly chicks have to do that."
Which seems to be consistent with, not @17's theory, but an older one that I hear about riduculously often, which is that a lot of women seem still to feel that their sexual role is to look attractive and only to look attractive, period. As in, don't I look hot, which should excuse my being a completely dead lay.

I used to love it, michael. (Does it count if I'm bi and not straight? I'm with a woman now, but I like going down on men or women.)
