As a preface to this special post, I would like to dedicate this to all my avid readers and loyal fans, but especially to those who are under the impression that my site is focused exclusively on nudism and related topics. Much to your relief and surprise, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with any type of nude topic.
This post does, however, have EVERYTHING to do with the 4 types of sexualities (or our orientation, as they are often referred as) while I ask individuals how they can be offended by referring to them accurately. As you may be aware, I am extremely logical and analytical in my thinking and how I examine a topic. I will state, right now, that logic, as I'm told, cannot always be used in every circumstance.
Osman declared in reply to me,
"Language use is a social construction; derogatory words are based on usage (culture) rather than only logic."
However, always keep in mind that words cannot hurt you in any way. Especially if you consider that the words used are a mere fraction of communication.
Keep this in mind as I will use the same argument and logic with you, as him.
Whew!
It is finally time to begin.
I will start by stating the 4 most common well known orientations, and defining them.
I have omitted the less common ones, such as, Demisexual, which is one that I also correlate with. There is Pansexual, which is simply a modified BISEXUAL sexuality.
In their proper order, they are:
"A"sexual - An orientation that mostly focuses on affectionate encounters, such as cuddling, without the primary focus being on sexual acts. Not common at all.
"BI"sexual - An attraction to BOTH genders. Also, the one that's discriminated more than any other, (see my Bisexuals love BOTH, for genuine proof) while ironically being not only beautiful, but is also Bi far, the BEST one of all.
After all,
BI is BOTH
BI is BEAUTIFUL
and NEVER forget that
BI is Bi far the BEST!
"HETERO"sexual - The attraction to only the opposite sex/gender. May be the most common but not entirely proven yet.
and now finally for the one that is the very focus of this post,
"HOMO"sexual - An attraction, exclusively, to their own gender. Male or Female.
I am glad this one is last, as it allows us to focus on it more clearly.
You will notice that I capitalized the prefix, before "sexual" in each one. This is so we can focus on the pertinent fragment of each sexuality.
The prefix is just a shorter version of the entire word, is it not?
In calling me BI, it's the very same as referring to another as HOMO, it's simply the short version without the "sexual".
Please realize that that BOTH the heteros AND homos have vernaculars to refer to them, Straights and Gays, respectfully.
What other, very significant feature, did you notice that is NOT included?
Observe your following hint:
You are so used to this, that you are likely oblivious to it.
All right, times up!
I will reveal that BISEXUALS, don't have their own vernacular.
You never noticed this before now, did you?
Bi is just.......Bi, nothing else.
No other terms for it at all
Why is this the case?
Do we not deserve one of our very own?
Just something I wanted to point out for further consideration.
Now I shall make a lucid point for my post today,
Since bisexuals are referred to as simply, Bi, nothing more,
I will pose this question to you,
If Bi is accurate and proper for bisexuals, then,
why do homos take offense to being called "homo?"
Homo is just short for HOMOsexual, which again, is the attraction to the same sex.
So, quite clearly, there is NO difference with GAY & HOMO.
We should be able to use both of these interchangeably, without offending anyone.
I really fail to see any problem with either one.
I have always been informed that it is NOT WHAT you say, but HOW you say it.
Remember, the words you use are ONLY 7% of communication!
So whether I ask, "are you homo?" or "are you gay?" it's the very SAME question.
Unless, perhaps, there are some that may be ashamed of their sexuality. This, however, should NEVER be true, as we have NO control or choice in our natural attractions for others.
I am, bi far, very open to any orientation, as I am BI and very proud to love BOTH, even though I may slightly lean towards gay, or, thus, homo. Therefore, I am the very LAST person to speak derogatory toward homos, or anyone.
Since I am BI, some look at me as half hetero and half homo, as I have been told. So, in essence, I would be speaking against "half" of myself.
Why would I ever do that?
Furthermore, since I have a BF who is homo,
WTF would I ever speak derogatory about him who I love with every fiber of my soul?
In addition, I have attained the friendship of guys that are, in fact, homo. Hence, having their valued friendship is greatly important to me, so I obviously have NO intention of purposely speaking offensively either to them or about them.
One last imperative point I must make is that, Ms. Roosevelt, affirms that,
NO one can EVER make YOU feel inferior without YOUR consent!
If you believe this quote and practice it all the time, then being called homo would NOT even be an issue for you.
The KEY here is: NEVER give it!
I am perplexed how anyone can let an invisible, touchless, odorless, tasteless force hurt or offend them in any way.
The only way a mere word can hurt you in any way, is if you believe it to be true.
You must know who you are and what you are!
Perhaps I may be seeing certain realities through filtered lenses, since I am bold enough to be able to stand before you, or anyone, entirely nude, and NO one can ever offend me at all. For I have achieved the ultimate level of blatant self-confidence!
Getting back on topic, if a hetero was speaking in a demeaning manner or in any way derogatory towards, "you homos" then this would be quite different!
It would really depend on his tone and the manner/context in which he used it.
I feel that I have clearly conveyed my valid points in a clear cohesive style as well as presenting my firm and logical stance here today. If I left something out or was unclear about something in this post, then you will be elated to know you have access to comments in which you can not only ask questions, but also have the courage to voice your own views and beliefs.
I really encourage ANY & ALL feedback, as its the ONLY way to find out if you agree with my statements, think I am way off base, have further clarifications on something or just want to add something I missed.
This means I welcome BOTH POS & NEG feedback to ALL my material.
Looking fwd very much, to hearing from you soon!
