There is a difference between repulsion and having a preference. Being repulsed by homosexual sex is termed homophobia. If one actively works against having same-sex relations solely based on being repulsed by it, than you are homophobic and have no idea of your preferences on the subject whatsoever.
One can have multiple reasons to eat something, extending beyond one's preference for it. What if someone bought m egg whites and I didn't want to waste them? What if I were starving and everything else looked even worse than the egg whites?
Sexual identity is how we determine who we are attracted toward and why. Sexual identity represents our the psychological side of our sexualities. Sexual practices is simply the record of who we have sex with, how much, etc. It does not necessarily reflect ones sexual identity because one's sexual identity is always fluctuating, changing and evolving, just like ones overall identity (roughly represented by your name). Sexual practices also grow and shift overtime. There are separate categories with overlap. It is very important to remember that they are separate.
Have sex with who you want, when you want, how you want and it doesn't mean squat in terms of your sexual identity without any background story. It is incomplete.
Sexuality is immensely more complex than what you make it out to be. You are severely restricting yourself when it comes to your sexual identity and you sexual practices, and it is simply sad. I pity you.
Heh, now people are homophobic because they have no interest in something?
Not only did you miss my entire point. You still didn't answer my final question, and not only denied that completely gay/straight people exist, but said it's wrong, which is highly disrespectful.
Simply put, I among many others, do not find the same gender sexy. We're not "restricting" ourselves, we don't have any desire to do anything sexually with them. Never have, and probably never will. We like only opposite gender. Hence why people like myself can truthfully identify as "heterosexual". It's quite apparent that everyone isn't this way, just like everyone isn't gay or bisexual, like yourself. This should be simple to understand.
And being repulsed by something, doesn't signify bigotry. Some people, have no interest in participating, viewing certain acts, or in certain cases find the act disgusting. Hell, some people actually try the act, then get repulsed by it. Whatever the acts may be. Doesn't have to be sexual. (I.E smoking) That does not mean that one hates or views that person that engages in such acts as a lower being.
And I like I said before, with your piss-poor egg to person example. It's entirely one's decision to do whatever with that egg. Some people will interact with it, in some way. Others won't. For whatever the reason.
And, like I said, with extremes, it's not complex, it's pretty black/white. Either you are or you aren't. Most people admittedly are shades of gray.
And lastly, if you're not into this label BS, don't bother with it.
No need to waste your energy pitying me, or people like me. Concentrate on your own self.
P.S. Although a few are repulsed by gayness, I am not. I'm completely indifferent to it.
Just people would get out of denial, stop lying to themselves, and be comfortable with the truth of who they really are.
