kinda explaining my thoughts and ideas on sexual preference

and so the first thing when I started to do that was

googled sexual preference and it turns out that

the term sexual preference

is considered offensive and the reason that some people consider

offensive is because the term preference

implies "choice". So my first reaction to finding this out

was that their seem to be a lot of things I'm supposed to find offensive as

a gay person

that I didn't even know about

the second thing I thought about was that didn't really make sense to me

so it turns out that there are actually different types of preferences

and in psychology there are preferences that are

non-choice preferences like biological preference

and genetic preference and sexual preference

falls under those categories. So if you're educated, referring to it as sexual preference

isn't actually bad or shouldn't offend you

as long as someone is referring to it as

a biological or genetic or "non-choice" preference

Which I am, in this video, considering it a non choice

preference. So my first idea, before I did any of this

research was to compare

sexual preference to another type of preference

and I was just going to compare it to a food preference and then after a I started doing this research

I realized maybe that would be offensive to compare

your preference for gender to

a preference for food. But crazily enough

there are now European scientists that are researching

a new project on the genetics of food preference

so this research actually says that

our genetic makeup may dictate which

foods we find attractive and which ones we don't

so I was like that's crazy! it's all genetic it's all

non choice preference so I'm going to compare sexuality

with food preference and it's not offensive

okay so let's just talk about food. I'm going to compare

apples and bananas and my preference for them

My personal preference. I don't like bananas.

At all. I've never liked em'. I don't know why. Must be in my genes.

so when I'm faced with an apple or

banana I'm gonna choose an apple 99.9999999% of the time

but on this same spectrum there are going to be people who

pick a banana 99.9999999% of the time

because they don't like Apples, and that's okay! In that same way

on preference for men and women I'm

going to choose a woman 99.9999999999999999999

999999 percent of the time

and on the opposite side, there are girls that are gonna like

boys 99.999% of the time

in science those two ends are the extreme cases, right?

in real life I think we can all agree that you're more likely to find someone

who's going to pick

an Apple 60% of the time and a banana

40% of the time and people that pick an apple 50% of the time

and a banana 50% of the time, or banana.. whatever

any combination of these percentages. it actually kinda makes more sense

to be someone who just likes them both

that's actually a concept that makes more sense to us, right? meeting someone

who likes apples and bananas, is not that freakin weird!

we wouldn't consider someone who likes apples AND bananas selfish

or indecisive or confused

we would just consider them a person who finds joy

in apples and bananas

SO, if sexuality is a preference, a non-choice preference,

genetic preference, just like liking one food or another

is maybe now a genetic preference. Then would you not agree

that someone who is homosexual and someone

who is straight are actually the extremes! and there are

a helluva lot more people that fall in the middle

than on the ends. Doesn't that make more sense?

it's funny because I feel like it's not that hard of a concept to

imagine or understand but like

we still don't really get that in real life, right? Like

we still have a hard time believing that someone can

find equal pleasure in dating a girl as they can in dating a guy

and I think that has a lot to do with just stereotypes. if we would

stop thinking of bisexuals

as the crazy girl at a party looking for attention

and making out with girls or the gay guy

who is just half closeted. maybe we could open ourselves up to the idea that

it actually makes a lot more sense to find pleasure in both!

my main reason for making this video

is that, I've just seen a lot of negative

reactions to bisexuality

and the thing that bothers me so much about that

is that so much of that negativity comes

from the gay community. I just can't wrap my head around

how a group of people who have been personally

oppressed because of their sexuality

could do the same thing to someone else. like you'd think we'd understand more

than anyone

how painful that is, but yet we do it. So those are just my opinions

on sexuality and what I think of sexual preference and... yeah

I wanna hear what y'alls ideas are about sexual preference

and I just think it's an interesting thing to talk about and I like getting new ideas and opinions

about it

so leave me comments! and if you think this shirt is cool and you wanna get one for yourself

I'll have information on how you can buy one

in the description box

eyebrows a little messed up, fix it.. yeah
