I hope, Bertina, that you were trying to be funny. It would help, if when
you say things like that if you would put an emoticon such as a :-) or a ;-)
after such a statement.
Promote it????? WHat are you trying to say, convert people? Women are or
they are not. 'skind of like Paganism, you don't convert.
This was a weird thing to say Bertina.
While I am definitely an advocate for Gay and Lesbian Rights, I am bi and
polyamourous. And while I am more than willing to explain why, and how that
works, I am not going to tell anyone they should be polyamourous or
bi(though I personally believe that more people are polyamourous then they
realize.)
Sexual preferences and proclivities are a personal choice, based on many
factors. The choice of sexual lovestyle is as personal as the choice of
religion. Are you, Bertina, advocating that we should recruit people to
become lesbians? There isn't one "right" way of sexuality. Homosexuality,
heterosexuality and bisexuality all have their place in the wide spectrum of
human sexual expression.
