Discrimination based on sexuality or sexual orientation is still not what I'm trying to get at. So maybe another time, if anyone feels like asking me in the chat room I think this would be an interesting thing to talk about and could better explain in real time. But it is by no means a common thought in society, which is why I introduced it here. I guess thats the main reason it's zipping over peoples heads.

 

I seem incapable of better explaining this here, if you're ambitious then maybe go over what I've so far posted.

No, I get what you're saying. I guess you should've worded it a bit different, i.e. is SEXUAL PREFERENCE a form of discrimination?

I suppose you COULD say it is. I prefer to date men as opposed to women. I guess if you wanted to stretch it a bit you could say it's the same as me saying I prefer to date whites over hispanics. But that isn't really discrimiation, it's just a preference.

We all discriminate. That is why you can't find photos of Janet Reno nude on the internet.

Just how hard have you tried to find them?

Again, isn't that the same as "I just prefer to employ white people cause I like them around the office"?

No. In the workplace, as long as someone is qualified to do their job, race, sex, or anything else, is irrelevant.

In my personal life is a different matter. Who I choose to live with, sleep with, share my life with is my own business and I can set whatever standards I choose. Just like I wouldn't date a bum, or a junkie, or a compulsive liar. I like dick. That's what I like. Some people like short, some like fat, some like pussy.

Ok then, fuck the workplace example and back to my earlier of picking friends based on race. Its the same deal.

 

Again, I'm not trying to push this idea. But seeing that as humans we are capable, both physically and emotionally, of engaging in meaningful relationships with people of different races, religions and sexes, then could not one conclude that the best option for us would be to open ourselves up to it. (It would provide the most oppertunity for relationships for everyone and thereby increasing their chance of finding what you want in a relationship) And yes, I realize that this possibility isn't going to happen ANYTIME soon, but I'm offering it for introspection.

 

EG: Say you have a great gal/guy friend (And pending your sexual orientatioin) you feel this person is wonderful in most every way but of course you'ld never even consider a relationship, based on your sexual preferences. The only difference I would draw between a true friend and that 'special someone' is the 'Relations' part of the relationship.

 

A great bit of advice given to a friend of mine before getting married was given by his father-in-law to be: "I only ask you do one thing before marrying my daughter; Always be her friend, before anything else, be a true friend".

 

Sounds like the grounds for a meaningful relationship to me. Keep this in mind when tinkering.

 

 

Oh and your example of say, not dating a bum is BS too. Would this be true even if you thought he was incredable, everything you'd want in a partner, just poor finacinally? I think thats a terrible attidude.

And if you ment it as in "I don't date dipwads" then yah obviously you wouldn't as when somebodys personality/physique or whatever is unappealing to you then you'd not consider them anyhow. But a good person is a good person, a babe is a babe (guy or gal) so hows about just tossing the person's sex to the wind and going at it?

 

Under different conditions of socialization we all could be on the other side of the fence, or as I'm suggesting as the best scenerio, sitting on the fence.
