Quote:I don't think it's naïve to believe many girls who make out with each other don't go home to finish the deed.  I have seen more than one occasion where the girl making out with another girl in the bar goes home with a dude. 

 

LOL, even if those particular ones did wind up going home with a dude (if another woman didn't also join the dude/ girl later that evening)....you honestly don't think at some point in time they also aren't having sex with one or more of their girl friends?? If they are hooking up and getting turned on by other women out at the bar in public, they are likely finishing the deed with another woman at some point. Its not "hook up and thats it"....lol


 

 

Which lends support to my theory a lot of girls do it for the attention.  That is easier to believe than the societal acceptance of gay people is causing a rash of lesbianism.  Gay guys can't even feel safe holding hands and walking down the street in this city so I doubt highly that all the dudes in the club are going to start making out with each other.  Though I know you fear the heterosexual impulses may become boring after these past few thousand years and that time may be coming.   I have yet to hear of any case of someone assuming the identity of a gay person to fit in.  Not hating someone for what they are is different than assigning cool kid status to someone just because they are gay in high school. 

 

Go back and re-read what I said. I didn't necessarily say they turned to a gay identity and became the cool kid. I said to "fit in" and who they would likely be fitting in with is similar kids who also weren't fitting in as well. Theres always some "clique" in high schools, whether it be the cool people, jocks, musicians :thumbsup: , dorks, outcasts, preppies, or what not. 


 

Gay kids are just accepted more now than they were in the past (which has not caused a rapid decline in suicides of gay teens who still don't feel like they fit in).  It doesn't mean they are not still bullied.  Just that they are not as alone.  The example you provide of kids assuming a gay identity, again is not rooted in any fact. You say you have heard of this.  Where?  Nowhere.  It is a hypothetical which really requires one to go out on a limb to swallow.  You sure you won't consider that cognitive dissonance might be at play?  Because you keep straying farther and farther from reality.

Oh, well, since I don't readily have a link to the articles that I have read over the years where I am getting these accounts from/ as well as talks I have had with actual teachers regarding their experience with overseeing the whole issue....then I guess I am making it all up, right?.... If you think I am, then whatever makes you feel better...
