they were escaping their own religious persecution, but were not seeking religious freedom... merely religious conformity as long as it followed their own ways.
What I don't understand is why gay people are hateful towards bisexuals (of course its just a few), that is very strange to me.... I personally don't label myself at all, I just say I'm sexual...nothing else, but by society I would be labeled bisexual I guess, well I think it's because of the fad status that it has been given in the media...anyway it's something to ponder...
Ya, they wanted it their own way, but they converted native americans to their religion; I think they wanted it their own way too.
i find strangness in the idea that a thread about sexual idenity turned into a discussion about the pilgrims.
I've only been with one man, never been with a woman, so right now I don't know what I "am" except human. That's all anyone is. I hate labels too. If my dad knew I might be interested in being with another female, he'd probably disown me. Screw him though. I love who I love. I love my husband, yes, no sane person can deny him love, but I also think it is possible to love more than one person (although not more than maybe three people at most) and if I were ever to be with another female and enjoyed that, plus had feelings for her and she for me, then I'd be at peace knowing another female loved me, and I'd be happy to share her with my husband and share my husband with her and share myself with her and my husband. I'm not talking about JUST the sexual experience either. Most people assume bisexual people will have sex with anyone, any time, anywhere. I know that's not the case and I wish "straight" people would understand that. They assume the same with gay people: Just because a man is gay, they think it means he's gonna do what he can to have sex with another man, or just because a woman is a lesbian, they think it means she'll do what she can to have sex with another woman. That's sooooo not me! I didn't have sex with my husband until I knew I loved him, and that's how I'd be with a woman too. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
i completely agree with what yu are saying..b ut what exactly is it in your mind? being attracted to male and females?? what are you gonig to call that gathering of thoughts?
I'd be very interested to know where you learned this fact....I'm not being sarcastic, I'd just like to know.
i've heard this before too. (about certain native cultures being more acceptive of homosexuality) this has come from those of my dear friends who have spent years of their life on reservations and have american indian bloodlines.
Why do some gay people think that bi's are gay but in denial? I Know I like girls just as much as I like guys. Maybe some (some) feel like they need a target, since they're always targeted. That's what my uncle's like. But hey, I know that doesn't apply to everyone.
