Straight or Gay

Blogger Lisa posted a few photos of beefy guys and sexy gals in her webpage, and she wrote:

Guys please avoid the hunk photos and girls enjoy the hunks and chicks.

I left one comment in her post, saying:

Don’t be surprised if some guys like to look at the hunks photos.

You may be shocked to learn how many gays there are in the United States. Pollster Mark Penn writes:

In 1994, a National Opinion Research Center study on “The Social Organization of Sexuality” found that 9 percent of men and 4 percent of women said that they had engaged in at least some homosexual behavior since puberty Another study by a team at the Harvard School of Public Health reported that 6.2 percent of men and 3.6 percent of women reported a same-sex partner in the previous three years. A third study reported that 9 percent of men and 5 percent of women who had had at least one homosexual experience said those experiences could be described as “frequent” or “ongoing”.

Why does a man or a woman engage in homosexual behavior? Many believe that gay men and lesbians are shaped by the environment. Nonetheless, some people, especially the homosexuals, argue that a person’s sexual orientation is determined at birth. Christian Church, on the other hand, insists that homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle chosen by the individuals. In other words, God made them straight but they choose to be gay.

Now, if we assume that a person’s sexual orientation is indeed determined at birth and not chosen, there should be homosexuals everywhere in Malaysia too. Of course, in this conservative society, most homosexuals would not disclose their sexual orientation. A gay man is still likely to marry a woman. Secretly, however, he may go fishing with another guy in Gunung Belakang Pecah.

Here is a question for you to ponder:

Should you support gay marriage/union?

If you are a homosexual, you answer is obvious. However, even if you are straight, you should still give an affirmative answer. If not, you run a risk of marrying one of them!

P/S Gunung Belakang Pecah is Malay for Brokeback Mountain. This blogger is a straight man.

Brangelina vowed to not get married until gay marriage is legalized.

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day.

May you enjoy a very romantic candlelight dinner with your lover - same-sex or otherwise.
