The book of Mormon is even better. Legitimately had to force myself to breathe through the laughter.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I did find a cam recording on YouTube. Haven't watched it yet because I don't want to spoil my appetite. (I think there's a Sydney performance in 2026. Will wait for that)
Weather update. Its actually playing in 2025 in Sydney, so I can go right now, but they are selling the tickets in pairs* and its close to 300 AUD for the mediocre seats. Is that normal for Broadway tickets?
*Turns out the hardest part will be finding someone to go with...

I believe everybody is bisexual at first
Then you're bisexual. If your "first" instinct was that both genders could be attractive, you're bisexual. But societal pressure convinced you to only seek out heterosexual relationships.
No I'm not. It's not about attraction. Biologically it doesn't matter who stimulates your genitals.
Then I found girls attractive, but that came way after I could have an orgasm.Prove me that it's not because of the environment.

Also just because you have fantasies at some point, doesn't mean you will follow the and they won't "go away" in the future. That's just your brain trying to figure out the unclean mess that sexual orientation is.
That is true, however, I think the resolution influences the result. I can be wrong, but there isn't really an experiment where someone tries to convince kids to be gay and see the outcome. It's just become forbidden to think this amongst the progressives for no reason.

They'd defend themselves by saying you can just turn them away, while completely ignoring that they can choose to not consume media with queer people in it. And when they whine that the problem is that it's in too much stuff now and they can't avoid it, they're once again trying to control what's in media and they've gone full circle.

The Mormons claim to want to help with anything right? What if I asked them to help teach tolerance and empathy to the maga?

The response is always "having a choice means you are bisexual."
Time to relax my sphincter.

Not to get too serious, given the topic and the community I'm in, but...
There's a saying along the lines of "You can't reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into." And the overwhelming majority of the time, it's completely true.
Ridiculous as it sounds, there are large numbers of people out there who believe that being gay is a choice. These people legitimately feel like any recognition and representation of homosexuality risks turning people gay.
You can spend all the time you want asking them when they chose to be straight and logically explaining things to them, it almost certainly will not matter.
It's not true, but the way it plays out makes people think otherwise.
There are tons of first gen atheists who came from deeply fundamentalist families, and often believed everything well into adulthood. To name two examples, Bart Ehrman and Genetically Modified Skeptic.
What won't happen is changing someone over the course of a single debate. They will come up with all sorts of mental gymnastics right on the spot. However, conversations like that do add up over time. An otherwise inquisitive mind will find a way eventually.

The Steven Crowder Defense is a classic
the most offensive lines (and this is where trans people might want to stop reading) in the episode come from Garrison herself, when she becomes incensed that she can’t get her period or get pregnant. “This would mean I’m not really a woman. I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis,” Garrison says. “You made me into a freak.”
Really comedy gold
"Just because you'd offended doesn't mean you're right."

No, but they've tried the reverse. They've tried and tried convincing gay people to be straight and it doesn't work. That's not how it works.
If you think you have a choice to be one way or the other, then you do. Because you're bi.

Such an experiment would be highly unethical and of doubtful interest. After all, you already know sexuality develops without influence, is it useful to know if it develops differently under pressure? To do so it requires to possibly ruin people's live, that's why it's not done.
Also, we already have the opposite experience: gays being convinced to be straight. As far as I know, it doesn't really work and only creates suppressed emotions that ruins their sexuality.

That's no different from growing up in a straight world. So that's why it doesn't have an effect.
