[QUOTE]Originally posted by Miz Scarlet: [QB] I guess the answer to that question is that most people do not choose to date, marry, life-partner or be sexually active with people simply because of their sexual attraction. I am bisexual, but that doesn't mean I would be attracted to ANY man or woman, or get involved with anyone who happened to come along. But sexual orientation is simply a term which doesn't cover the whole spectrum of why people are attracted or sexually attracted to others, but is simply a term which defines what gender or genders people are sexually/physically (as opposed to aesthetically) attracted to in general in terms of what "pool" they are selecting from and then narrowing further based on many other attributes. That only covers that apsect. Someone's personality, the color of their skin, the way they dress, their features, their tone of voice, their sense of humour, their interests...none of those things are determined by gender, and so those are not sexual orientation issues. Make sense? [/QB][/QUOTE]
