Well said, @Almost40 and @Devon Texas... I'd like to expand on that idea of a sliding scale. I'd argue that sexual orientation is only one axis of a multi-dimensional graph that is one's sexual identity... gender identity, sexual habits, and many other categories could form the others, and one need not be on one extreme or the other (or completely in the middle) of any of these axes, but rather at any one of an infinite number of points..
Good point... I agree with this, these types of exchanges help broaden my outlook because believe it or not I'm not coming here to be a smart ass hetero i'm here because I genuinely want to receive information
