I personally wish we would all be as interested in other topics…like the vast amount of starving children in the world…then worry about who’s sleeping with whom.

I never assume who does what…for that matter who is what. It’s the value of what is on the inside that matters most to me.

Great picture btw…i totally missed this on Prad’s stream.

by the way..i just can see..tenderness in this picture..
big hugs

I respect everyone’s sexual orientation (not preferences) and doesn’t make any difference to me. Gender has lots of interesting issues to be discussed but I don’t want to get into that.

And don’t get me wrong: it tells more about the narrow mindedness of the people surrounding you than about you. In both SL and FL my best friends happen to be straight men, where I am a straight woman. And in both lives my spouse doesn’t mind about it. And I think that’s good: they are friendships, and even though they are very close and I may even flirt, they are not romantic or sexual relationships I have with them!
(sorry for spamming your blog Raul, but I just couldn’t resist responding on this)

It’s all your point of view really…your feelings, the way you were raised…as my dad and brother are gay, mom and i are straight, I thought nothing of the pic, except for the hawtness of it, of course. Great post…insightful. Funny that when I think gay, I think family. :)

I read endless letters about jealous spouses in the advice columns, and in SL, I’m usually relieved to find out that a male friend is gay, because I know I won’t have to deal with a suspicious girlfriend. I prefer bi people in general, because they seem more openminded about almost everything in life.

Tmho it only makes sense when you are looking for a partner in the atomic world. For the rest it shouldn’t matter: accept people as they are, how they think, what they make etcetera. Someone’s sexuality is not of your business as long as you don’t want to get laid with the person, is it?
Let’s love people for their personality, please.(Don’t know if you’ve read my recent post about gender, which is related with this topic? -sorry for shamelessly advertising :P )

Btw, I have to admit that in my eyes your poses in Prad’s picture suggest more than friendship indeed, but that’s my personal opinion ;-)

Truth is, there is no such thing as ‘normal’ and we should learn to accept the wonderful diversity of human sexuality along with all the other differences that make us human. No boxes, no labels, no judgements.
