Homosexual behavior in primates has a deep evolutionary basis and is more likely to occur in species that live in harsh environments, are hunted by predators or live in more complex societies, scientists said Monday.
I think a lot more people are bisexual than they realise but the whole “everyone’s a little bisexual” thing that’s been cropping up everywhere lately I find a bit homophobic. It’s especially a dangerous view to take for lesbians since so many get pressured with the whole “you’ll like it with me” sort of thing. But even being a gay man myself it sucks so much having people in our own community keep telling us we don’t actually exist, plus if it’s a preference then you can justify shit like conversion therapy a lot more easily. It’s a spectrum for sure but a lot of us still sit pretty firmly to one side or the other of it.
I get what you’re saying, i had not considered it could be interpreted like this.
For the record i do think you exist and are valid.
Just because our brains are flexible enough to adjust for otherwise unmet needs does not mean thats it’s a satisfying happy life, que the history of desperate repressed hetero men sharing a room. But any emotional closeness even to a human is better than depressed isolation.
I also consider non sexual relationships like “bromance” to be part of this trend. Showing emotional affection between non lover friends, especially those not in a relationship should be more normalised.
