Now this thread seemed to start innocently enough, but it sure got heated quickly, didn't it? I consider myself straight. It's not because I fear or hate people that are not straight; it's just who I am. And I don't feel that by not having a 1% under "gay" that I am close-minded either.
I see it the same way that I see ethnicity. I am a Korean by heritage, and if I were to put it on my profile, it would say 100% Korean. I could be "open-minded" and put 1% next to Russian because of the possibility that somewhere in the distant past some Russian blood could have been introduced to my bloodline, but I see no reason to do so. More than anything, I consider myself a realist.
I acknowledge the beauty present in both sexes, but I don't feel that affects my sexuality. I know which men are considered handsome and which are not. I just have no desire to have any form of sexual interaction with any of them. That is why I just go with the 100% under straight.
I have gay friends. About 30% of my co-workers are gay, bi, or lesbian, and I am confident that none of them would ever consider me to be a homophobe. In fact, I am even flattered when gay men hit on me. But I'm flattered in the same way that I would be if an unattractive woman were to hit on me. I enjoy the compliment, but would never act upon it.
And Ron White says "Oh, do you want the guy to have a tiny, half-flaccid penis?" Well, no. That wouldn't make for a very entertaining porno now, would it? Sure, most (if not all) straight men (who watch porn) would prefer to see a more endowed male having intercourse with an attractive female, but this goes back to what 9"/180 said about empathy. Most straight men watch pornography for the fantasy aspect of it. They watch it because they imagine what it would be like for them to BE the male actor in the porno and, of course, would prefer to imagine themselves as the more virile choice. And because they want to imagine what it would be like to BE that actor, not because they want to be taken by that actor.
That's the way I see it.
And now I'm off to beat another dead horse.

Also, I feel that Rob's breakdown was the best summary. :biggrin1:
