A person's actions are relevant. We can judge what they say and do.
Well, I would say there obviously is a way to judge the attractions of a person. How many couples do you know who weren't attracted to each other before embarking on a relationship? It pretty much goes hand in hand unless it's an "arranged marriage".

You need to think this through a bit better. A person's attractions are private and inaccessible. Their actions are public and can be judged. If two boys are planning a wedding then that is not normal.

How many people do you suppose would deny that two men planning a civil union weren't attracted to each other? :squint:
I think if you were honest here you'd accept that there has to be some level of attraction between two people before such occurs. It doesn't necessarily mean it's primarily a physical one either.

Thanks for derailing what was a perfectly simple discussion...

Thanks for deflecting a totally reasonable line of inquiry with this complete non response. You really do play the "irrelevant" card far too often Stripe. One would think you're simply stumped for an answer. Being a cricket fan I'm sure you can see the irony....

Entering a relationship with the intention of being "normal" can't possibly produce much emotional depth. It won't last very long if one is fortunate, (even couples who like each other drift apart after being cooped up together for long periods) but it could also end in suicide, another sin, if dissatisfaction with one's partner escalates to an extreme degree. (imagine yourself being forced into a homosexual marriage. oh the horror!)
Just for the record, I have never been attracted to my own sex or engaged in a homosexual relationship.
Because your input has been 100% redundant. One cannot judge a man's attractions unless there is an action. One can judge the action.
Are you seriously suggesting that we should judge a man according to his attractions?

I don't care who you're attracted to.

How very irrelevant of you. If you choose to sleep with a man that makes you a homosexual (assuming you're also a guy).

There is no such thing as a homosexual or bisexual genetic makeup. You've plucked that out of thin air.

Luckily nobody is attempting to judge a man based on their attractions. You people really need to start saying something sensible.

What are you talking about? You've completely lost it.
