I’m not sure if I understand. I feel like we can internalize pressure from other people about reproduction. I totally have at times. That may not be what you mean though.

That is what I'm talking about, and I probably have myself.

I don’t really think much about purpose. It seems like something we feel or believe personally and not something from evolution. It seems like a very sad way of looking at life and not kind to homosexual people or people who don’t reproduce. My sexuality is good even if it there is no evolutionary purpose. We don’t have to find one.

I suppose it really is unkind and sad, and bleak. There's nothing comforting in thinking of things that way.

I don’t think you are homophobic, but you seem to have some very conservative/heteronormative views.

I've always thought I was open-minded and liberal, so it confuses and disappoints me I'm coming across as far from it. But it's probably obvious enough by now that I'm rather ignorant and maybe not as open-minded as I thought. Discussions like this hopefully change that at least a little.
