One time a straight girl asked me how did I know I was attracted to women if I never had sex with a woman. Which poses the question…are straight people blinding fucking each other to determine who they find attractive or…? Do straight girls look at somebody and think “Hmm, I can’t tell if I like Bob from payroll. It is time to fuck Bob from payroll and find out.”
Reblog if you think Bob from payroll has more to offer than his body
I think it’s more that a lot of “straight” people (read: the people who ask that question) have attraction to the same sex that they just don’t act on. They think everyone feels that way but it’s not enough for them to “really” be queer/bi/pan/attracted to X, so they don’t act on it. They assume the way you figure it out is by acting on it. They don’t realize that no, it’s not like that; no, if you’re attracted to the same sex, you’re into the same sex.
(The “straight” is because those folks just think they’re straight when they’re probably not.)
But, yeah, Bob is a sweet, nice, smart, funny fellow. Likes water polo and plays the didgeridoo.
May also explain some of the “"but if we don’t constantly punish LGBT people *everyone* would turn gay” rhetoric. It makes slightly more sense if you believe heterosexuality is a state of constantly policing yourself for non-straight urges.
