SSM Plebiscite

[LP]

Don't log on for a few days and come back to one hell of a read lol.

What I can add from personal experience; I think a lot of Kate's article resonates with me and I dare say a lot of women in the LGBTQI community. In saying that, I have no doubt that the same happens to men (albeit not quite in the same quantities) in regards to people thinking they can 'convert' a same sex attracted person.

What I do find ironic though is that a lot of the types of men who think it's ok to try and 'convert' a lesbian, are the exact same men who would freak the hell out and get aggressive if a gay man did the same to them.

But NM, if a gay male happened to approach me in error, before I rejected his oveture and without knowledge I wasn't gay, I wouldn't be justified in giving him a label and ask he be persecuted. If ten different individuals do the same, they are all a priori until they become recidivist.

An attractive human is probably an attractive human regardless of their sexuality, they will gain attention for many and varied reasons. The fact they do so repeatedly does not make those giving them attention guilty by default.
