Hi there

LJay Wrote:Since the topic has arisien, @barisajedi and [MENTION=24253]Zen[/MENTION], here is an essay that should give you somethng to ponder this weekend: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170315...osexuality

It is a bit boggling here and there, but worth the read.

Wow, that was a fascinating read. I find it so intriguing to see how language changes our sense of how we see people and ourselves in different periods of time; and it also shows how strong culture can be on influencing our understandings of self.

I think it's fascinating to look st sexuality (like we said about gender as a performance, i.e. what we do, versus who we are. And the article raises the question as well about how fixed our sexuality is versus fluid.

Personally i don't think we can say that any one of these answers is correct. My sexuality is something I do, but there is an element of it that is just part of who I am. If I were around in oscar wilde's time, i'd still be just as gay as I am now, even if I described it differently.

And i think for some sexuality is more fluid than it is for others.
