My girls, my biological daughter and her wife that is, were talking about some anime (which they do almost nonstop so I tend to tune them out) when one said to the other, "He is so gay for (X character who was also a male)" I looked at them and asked what they ment and when they both said almost at the same time that it ment the he they said first would switch teams for the x character I became confused. I myself am bisexual which means there are women in my past that I have not only found attractive but dated. I began thinking about the ramifications of all forms of sexuality. Was it possible that someone who was straight would 'turn gay' over someone who was gay? and when I say gay I mean gay or lesbian, not just men but women however since I tend to think in one term at a time it's gay for the purpose of this post. Anyway I remembered growing up thinking I was straight, not because that's what my mother taught me because she taught me to be open and loving no matter what someone looked like. I grew up thinking I was straight because I had never found a woman/girl attractive in a sexual way before. When I went off to college I began meeting people who were open and honest in not only their beliefs but their sexual expression. Keeping in mind this was the late 80's early 90's. For me sexual desire starts with my mind not my body. (Horrid childhood experiences) I met one woman who touched my mind, she was the first I had ever found sexually desirable. Does that mean I went gay for her? No it means I was already bisexual I simply hadn't realized it until then. I have no idea how this bares on anything else but I felt I needed to have it out there... just my thoughts...
