For starters I'd appreciate not being called a "poor girl" it's rather demeaning.

Kinsey's scale, if you care to look it up in wiki, is a 7 step scale from zero being Exclusively heterosexual to six being Exclusively homosexual, 3 being bisexual and then you have all the steps in between.

the scale is viewed as being reasonably set. aka a person fits a certain number on the scale and it may change over time but it isn't something that changes regularly. - it doesnt allow for the idea that someone can be "cured", mainly cause that's a fucking stupid idea that the catholic church came up with and because it wasnt created with that in mind, it was created with the idea that not everyone fits into boxes, it allows for a little more flexibility. - unfortunately this is only valid if your writing a research paper on human sexuality, it doesnt work in the real world cause most people havent heard of it and if you said, "I'm a two on the Kinsey scale" people would laugh.

does anyone know or have read research about what does actually cause sexuality? I always assumed it was biological of some description but I dont actually know.

As for civil rights I think the world needs to get over it's self and realize that hey, we're not all the same, everyone deserves the same respect and rights. I don't understand why people have so much trouble with this concept and why we have to make it specific to gay people or black people, we're all equal are we not?

Something else that came to mind after reading the responses, is the issue of gay marriage, I know I just said that people are people we're all equal but this is slightly different for this reason - in australia (where I am) to my knowledge there is words in the legislation on marriage that gives a married couple the RIGHT to have children. I think that if gay couples are suddenly given this "right" there could be a few issues.

the other topic - emo kids- they piss me and probably everyone else off. but they have kinda fucked with the idea of what "Bi" is, am I right? - it kind of becomes an issue when people start telling you your an attention seeker or your just trying to be cool because you've messed around with girls. It seems counter intuitive.

all of which still leaves me confused. maybe I am just a silly little girl who's experimenting. or maybe it's more then that. I dont know.

also, any thoughts on threesomes?
