No and I dont care about it, good luck to everyone regardless of sexuality!
-
Our aversion to homosexuality is entirely a religious societal construct. We shouldn't care what other people do behind closed doors, as long as they are not harming themselves or others. Only Paternalists (the negative ones, at least) want to "out" these people and ridicule them for their feelings and beliefs.
-
If we are curious in order to helps us understand others better and be able to accept and celebrate differences and diversity, it is a good thing. Otherwise, those who judge others blindly or are prejudiced are adding nothing to the equation, you're right.
-
I don't know...I only care about who I am having sex with.
-
it doesn't bother me who sleeps with who, it is only the business of the people involved. Too many people stick there noses into other peoples affairs - normally because they are bored with their own lives. A persons sexual preference doesn't define who they are.
-
No it's nobody's business other than the people directly involved.
-
Great question. And No I am not concerned about anyones sexuality at all. I know mine and that's all that is important to me. Too much hate in the world i say love whom ever you desire.
-
As long as they keep it to themselves, then I really don't care what people do behind closed doors. However, it becomes our business when the person acts obnoxiously or in a way against what is generally appropriate and uses their sexuality as an excuse for their behavior...
-
Good question! The answer is: no. It is nobody's business but the person themselves.
-
I don't care about someone else's sexuality. What they do is their business. I would rather spend the time working on my own relationship than to worry about what someone else is doing. To each their own.
-
As long as they don't make it our business.
-
we are all "sex symbols". What we do sexually is that taboo no one must talk about but everyone somehow knows.
-
I don't care about anybody's sexuality, as long as they treat me with the same dignity and respect that I've shown them.
-
I've always held the view that I should not care what others do with their bodies in general and genitals in particular simply because it doesn't affect me at all. I would rather focus on solving my own issues.

"The nation has no rights in the bedrooms of the nation". --Pierre Trudeau. I don't understand how people worry so much about other peoples' sex lives...I have enough on my hands worrying about who I am having sex with.

I know this will aggrivate people, because I automatically went the homosexual part of it, but it is a subject that is familar to me. It is ironic that everyone says it isnt their business, yet people everyday, pick on homosexual's. I agree that it isnt our business, what they do in their bedroom, is their business. I have had some of my sons friends, "come out of the closet", and they wanted to tell every one at that point, I asked them why do you want people to know what you like as far as sex, it should only matter to the two people that are in that relationship, not everyone else. One told me it is because he has had to hide in shame, now he is comfortable with himself. Please dont beat me up,it is an amazing question.
-
Because obviously if we don't 'cure' them of this it will spread, and they'll force us to get gay-married and communism will take over America or something.
-
I care if the person is someone I'd like to date, otherwise, it's their business.
-
I don't care. It isn't my business. Mostly, you get it from religious fanatics.
-
It really isn't anybody else's business... It should be kept in the bedroom where it belongs!
-
the challenge is that it is our business when we select a partner, and we feel we may intrude into the lives of folks who are different from us. This is encouraged by asswipes like Fred Phelps and the Westboro lunatic asylum and by the prurient. It wasn't that long ago in several US states that heterosexual couples were constrained by law to have sex only in the missionary position, after all. Regulate someone's sex life and you are able to allow them rewards of islands of joy. So religion got involved and priests controlled the people for perosnal gain - tithing.
-
it isnt anyone's biz but their own, my biz is my own, and no one else's. If I wish to be with a guy, then i will be with a guy, and fight for the right to do so!
-
No it is not any of our business ,and why do some make it there business because they are stupid people.
-
When did I say I cared? I have enough of my own concerns to deal with -- like doing my homework. I haven't done that yet.
-
unless they are a potential mate no not really
-
No I do not consider another persons sex life is anything to do with the world at large and certainly not me in particular.
-
Nope. To each his/her own.
-
I am a lesbian and I don't understand what the big problem is with our love. We cant help it this is who we love and if people have a problem with it DONT LOOK! I think our love is just as beautiful as everyone elses.... I am not with anyone currently but I still dont see anything wrong with man being with man or woman being with woman or heterosexual relationships... love is love. We should be entitled to marriage and we should be able to concieve children even if its through fertility clinic or adoption... NO matter what two parents it has the child will be fine with proper love and care!!!!!
-
THANK YOU!!!!! SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN!!!! why do we try and control other people?? just leave them alone!
-
People who try and regulate other's sexual behavior really have deep sexual issues themselves.
-
i don't think it is any of our business ...live and let live
-
most people care because they are either not opened minded at all or they want to save them from "going to hell" nah. its none of anyones business. what people do with eachother is their thing....not societies well as long as they are not hurting anyone in the process
-
If you intend to have a relationship with that person, you just might want to verify what their sexual preferrence is.
-
No its not any of our business but people like to talk and gossip. Half of it might not even be true. and even if you do thats their life and they can chose wut they want to do with it and who they sleep with or dont sleep with!!
-
I don't.
-
I sure don't care about Ryan Seacrest.
-
i only care when they tell me. its easier to understand where they're coming from sometimes when they talk about certain things. then again i'm not a homophobe so it doesn't make one dif to me one way or the other.
-
It may help us understand them a little better, but for the most part it shouldn't matter. Is it our business? Only when it is put in our face. I don't like the rainbow flags and stickers because they let everyone know your preferences. I don't see why one needs to advertise their sexuality. I understand the pride aspect of it, but the same people that tell me the sticker indicates pride get upset when other people ask them if they're gay or not. I find it interesting.
-
If you run for public office under false pretenses it might very well be.
-
i dont know that is a very good question i mean if your gay or lesbian its none of my business its only my business if you come at me with it... other than that i dont worry too much... you do you and be happy just like im doin myself!!!!!!!!!!!
-
No, it isn't anyones business. but thats where the issue comes to play. some people enjoy flaunting their sexuality to extreme levels just to make people uncomfortable. That is my ONLY problem with sexual preference. You see a girl and guy making out, its just as disturbing as if you see two guys making out. if people keep it to themselves, weither they be straight OR gay, nobody would give a shit either way. and that, my friends, is my humble opinion, and the only time i'm ever going to say anything along the lines of biggotry.
-
If they'd keep it to themselves, no one would.
-
Well I have to give you a funny answer.It is my business to know if 2 guys having sex cos it turns me on.:-) I always think about why I never felt it was wrong.Not even when I was 12 and saw 2 guys kissing on the street,not even when my homophobic father was trying to explain to me how gays should be killied.I fought any kind of discrimination all my life and I dropped people from my life who spoke against it.Sex is good and it is just as much the business of a woman who's a slut and sleeps with anyone "without conndom" as the man who sleeps with every other guy or just shares a life a love with him.:-))
-
I for one don't care about my own sexuality much and I certainly don't need to know someone else's. Why is it that guys always ask me if I'm gay. WHY do they need to know?!
-
I dont care. people can be attracted to whomever they want. Im married to my husband thats all i care about:)
-
I don't care about what others do in their bedroom, so long as they stay out of mine. I think, in answer to your question, why so many others care...it's because we all have issues - be it in the bedroom or elsewhere, and everybody else's stuff is so much more fun to poke at, than our own. I figure it this way: When I'm a perfect person, then I'll have the authority to tell others how to live their lives. Since that will never happen...no worries! As a Christian, I feel rather than telling others how to live their lives, it's better to love people as is, and let God change their hearts.
-
we dont care, but this is ANSWERBAG , so in this world, it is our business.
-
TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN
-
Only those with a boraing sex life care about the sex life of others.
-
1. Don't know. 2. Nope. I have always been disturbed and rather amused at peoples' obsession with other peoples' sexuality. In my brief experience on this Earth, I have found that more often than not, those who tend to make a big stink about the sexual practices of others are "protesting too much", and projecting their own shame, guilt, insecurity, or hang-ups about themselves onto the rest of the world. A few great high-profile examples: J. Edgar Hoover Larry Craig Roy Cohn Rev. Ted Haggard Jimmy Swaggart And everyone on this list: http://www.republicansexoffenders.com/

I think everyones scared they're gonna try and kiss em or somethin' ... I don't get it ...
-
It's because sexuality has become pathologized. The medical community started telling us what types of sexual practices were normal and which ones were a sign of mental illness. Consequently, people compare themselves to others whom they view as having deviant sexuality so they can feel better about themselves.
-
Our Society is overly judgmental. People that are insecure harshly judge others to feel better about themselves. They do this to Women, Gays, Black, Jews, Autistic/Aspergers people and anyone who is unique. I think we need to find a way to change this. Educating people starting with Children will help;but in NYC. the Teachers do this too. Why should everyone have to be the same? I like diffrent people they are more interesting. My Husband would agree.
