Why on earth should it make one iota of difference one way or another?

Because it will effect your opinion on such things?
If such a life style is the same as a heterosexual why are you so ashamed to talk about it?

I’m not only not homosexual, I’m also not bi-sexual!

(A weak joke granted, but the best I could think of on the spur of the moment!)

Why assume that "shame" has anything to do with it?

Why not simply work on the basis that it's simply not a factor when it comes to commenting ion the subject under discussion?

I’m not homosexual, but my defending the proposition that there is nothing in the least bit wrong in a person having a homosexual orientation is not in the least bit related to my own sexuality one way or another.

I can think of a great many things that take place in heterosexual relationships that are appalling such as male violence to females, male abuse of female children within the family (far more frequent than is generally realised) female immorality on “girls night out’s”, and quite a bit more besides and my opinion on such matters are totally unaffected by “the way that I swing”.

I believe that those who instantly sneer at same sex partnerships, or people with a homosexual orientation, see the name and not the person.

How we feel towards a person of the opposite sex is exactly the same as they feel about a person of the same sex.

The words empathy and empathise are not only unknown to far too any people, the practice is even more rare it would seem.

Personally I couldn't give two dumps one way or the other but to hear someone conflating Love and Sex makes me blood boil. Love has nothing to do with the primeval act of reproduction.
Sexual intercourse is the method by which babies are born, shoving ones male reproductive organ into another male's anal orifice will definitely not produce babies. As in - "slap it up me transom me 'ansome, don't want no babies yer".

I actually answered it last week in a similar discussion. I am straight.

Not that it makes anything said here true or false anyway.

Why does this matter so much to you British Conservatism?

There were several boys at my school who chose to be gay and have apparently since chosen to be normal.

Now that the school has gone co-ed they they can swing either way. Homo activity at Britain's public schools did have one advantage. Nobody got pregnant.

I received several invitations to join in the gay fun and chose not to do so.

Puberty can be a time of great sexual confusion, it can also be a time when young people are experimenting with their newly discovered sexuality and are more comfortable during this time with someone of the same sex out of shyness towards people of the opposite sex.

Sentimental twaddle. It's this sort of touchy-feely Dianaesque cr*p which is really dragging down this once-great country.

Isn't it time you stopped reading Mills and Boon and tried Nietzsche instead?

I can't wait until the virile 'Chinese Century' elbows this kind of rubbish aside once and for all.
