when i was in high school the "cool" thing to be for a girl was bisexual. so many girl's i knew said they were bi yet none if them actually wanted a relationship with a girl. one girl i knew said she was bi because she found some women beautiful, but when i asked about kissing girls or sex with them she said she thought it was gross and couldn't see herself touching a woman like that. she didn't get that thinking a woman was beautiful doesn't mean your bi if your not sexually attracted to them. you can think a man or woman is good looking without it meaning your gay, bi or lesbian.

True. I find it sad when men can't show affection (platonic) without being seen as gay... Like ? It's like some cannot compliment and/or hug and shit without their heterosexuality being put question.

That's not an issue in places where you don't have open homosexuality. It's perfectly normal for Arab men to walk down the street holding hands, and nobody's gonna think they're gay for it. Is sodomy worth the death of platonic male affection? I don't think so.

So you're saying that being openly gay isn't worth the damage it does to platonic male relations. Am I correct in my assumption?

Sure, why not?
