When we reach a stage of human evolution, where we are no longer being denied and abused because of our sexuality and the world becomes more accepting, it seems likely that people will become less fixated on “gay” or “straight” and instead identify (if at all) somewhere in the middle.

I really don’t even know where to begin.

  1. This entire sentence requires you to believe sexual orientation is a choice to even kind of sort of make sense. Frankly, I think the only way a person can believe that is if he or she is deeply in denial about his or her sexuality.

  2. I don’t “identify” as a lesbian. It’s just the word that describes the fact that I am a female who is exclusively attracted to other females.

  3. In what world would anyone be “fixated” on being gay if that meant experiencing discrimination and violence? If we could “fixate” on being a certain way, people would choose the path without the hardship.

  4. A greater number of Westerners becoming accepting of homosexuals doesn’t mean that we will suddenly stop being gay or that 90-ish% of the world will magically stop being straight. I’m truly baffled at how he’s pulled this conclusion out of his ass. Saying 1 + 2 = Greek yogurt makes more sense than his claim.

  5. If I would be bi instead of gay without homophobia, why wouldn’t I just be bi with homophobia? (Sorry, still stuck on this because it’s the weirdest fucking thing I’ve heard in a while.)
