Okay, sorry I didn't know.

not to mention i think its more well established by now that sexuality is a spectrum

maybe within the community or anyone who cares to educate themselves, but for the majority of people its still mostly "gay or straight....maybe bi? or confused"

i know for the majority of people i'm talking more along the lines of like, it's more accepted by science etc

Because sexuality and gender are fluid and you can't just stuff a bunch of people under one term.

Well yeah, but it's getting to the point that people are acting so nuanced that there's just way too many "sexualities" for people to be taking the sexual spectrum seriously anymore.

This, basically; it's a spectrum, but no matter if you call it crimson, scarlet, or vermilion, it's sill red.

I would never get offended if anyone assumed I was any particular sexuality

Bisexual is most correct but I wouldn't mind at all if someone got it wrong, I'd just explain that I'm not

The problem with extreme liberals is they want everyone to automatically be educated and just get offended and hostile when people who don't know better get it wrong

Like I'm very liberal progressive hippie whatever label you want to give me but I understand that some things are foreign and hard to understand for people who haven't been exposed to them so idk it's important to pick your battles and educate people instead of lashing out because people aren't already educated

The problem with people is that they're people.

It's completely ludicrous to expect everyone to know how you wanna be adressed and treated when there's almost no way they could've known in the first place. On the otherside of the coin, it's a pretty asshole move to completely ignore the way someone identifies after being made aware of it because "it's too complicated for me." It's literally just being a nice and reasonable person there's no need to get opinions or politics involved.

Question, because I'm curious:
When you hear the phrase "I like you as a person," what do you infer?

[Dudeman]

You'd make a terrible horse.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Ha! It's funny! Because today was the Kentucky Derby
...
Yea, not as funny as I first imagined

That is universal code for "You're ugly" or "I'm not interested".

[Altissimo]

That is universal code for "You're ugly" or "I'm not interested".

... probably more of the latter I'd say

[mikey]

never had anyone tell me they like me, so I can't tell you there

I agree. The former is more used while in a relationship. Anton likes a girl and thought he was shallow because he liked her for who she was and didn't find her physically attractive at all. I tried to explain to him that's pretty much the opposite of shallow, but it took a little while before it got through his skull.
