What is the purpose of Homosexuality?

Gerry, reading your posts makes me feel there's still some hope for this forum.
Even in the thread with all those ethnocentric stereotypes about asians, when no one was commenting those absurdities and I was like "it's unbelievable he is getting away with this" and you replied and said the same things I would have said, in fact the things that any genuine person with "art" in his/her spirit would have said. Art is that: creativity, individuality, sensitivity, empathy, respect, awe for life ... and I'm still buffled at how "love for art" (i.e. love for piano) can coexist with the thoughts, attitude and superficiality of certain people here. I admire you and keep the good work of showing that art is supposed to make us better more sensitive and humane people not cynical cruel conformists.

Wow, thanks for that thoughtful and sensitive reply. Sometimes I think I'm just pissin' in the wind so to speak. Having found out a little more than I cared to about some of the members' attitudes, I think I'm going to stay out of the "anything but piano" asylum for awhile and stick to the more germane areas of this forum and hopefully regain some of the respect for their musical opinions I had before.

Not correct.
Bisexuality is being physically attracted to both mainly characteristics and female characteristics. There's another form of attraction, which is being attracted to the person, to the individual and the feelings he/she makes you feel, in spite of what gender this person is. It's like the difference between claiming to accept both black and white people or to just ignore the skin color in favour of personality, skill, intelligence and so on.

Wait...I always thought physical attraction had nothing to do with emotional attraction.

They're two separate things...people should fall in love because they find someone physically attractive. Shouldn't they? 

So you're defining sexuality, by who you are physically attracted to?

Or have I interpreted you totally wrong? (Likely the case  )

Sexuality doesn't exist, except as a social constructed discourse or idea with a specific chronological hystory. So sexuality is indeed being physically attracted to someone.
The whole homo/hetero begins with the premise of being mostly physically attracted to someone with specific secondary characteristics otherwise the whole thing wouldn't make any sense, as if we would just love individuals and gender would become irrelevant to our feelings. As a matter of fact that has been the norm for centuries for a lot of cultures.

Nowadays when you say homo you mean "attracted to the same gender" , when you say hetero you mean "attracted to opposite gender" and when you say bisex "attracted to borth gender". By gender here (maybe subtly but not that much) is meat the secondary characteristics that demarcate being a male from being a female.
Because no mistake except from these characteristics there's no other remarcation.

There's no such a thing as an universal female attitude or personality or a male attitude or personality. As Fauto-Sterling claims "there's more in common between a man and a woman of new-york and a woman of new york and a woman of cambioda"
In fact Fausto-Sterling wrote a book that proves indeed that the modern discourse of sexuality is based on nothing but physical attraction. She describes a true story of a talented and fulfilled woman who found out to be a man, because of the chromosomes she has. She goes on explaining how the life of this woman has become an hell. Ostricized by friends and family, left by her boyfriend, banned from women competition.
And yet she was exactly the same identical person, the same good caring, kind, intelligent, sensitive person her boyfriend had falled in love with, her friends had chosen as a confident and life support, the sport-people had encouraged and admired for her skills.

What about chronic drunk brainless dude proud of their ignorance and with a need to attack those who know something?

What about a spotty faced teenage prick that needs to get his brain out of a textbook and go and get a life.

I have met know it all pratts like you before. They are normally gormless insecure pencil necks, who only get erections by reading the National Geographic.
