I found myself having the bizarrest conversations last week.

The first one was a great night and then later on, we met new people and in the first 10 seconds they had introduced themselves as: Straight, Gay, Bi...and then I found myself being introduced as Straight.

And I found that super weird on so many different levels.

First off, I couldn't give a camels fuck what your sexuality is.

Seriously, you could sleep with litttle green martians with pink polka dots, and I still wouldn't care.

Although, I would be mighty interested in where you found him.

Secondly, my sexuality is so far down what you should find attractive about me, that it shouldn't even be an issue.

But the next conversation was with someone who was working with the younger generation and was even more strange, because she said they were all gender neutral.

Which worked the complete opposite of what they had hoped.

Because instead of it making them all look different and unique, they all looked the same.

But then when they were asking about partners, they would use the pronoun "They".  

As in, What do "They" like to be called?"

Which was driving my friend nuts, and she found herself yelling on more than one occasion, He!  He!  He's a fucking He!

Which to be fair, wasn't the most tactful response.

But its brought me to an interesting point:

When did Sexuality become more important than the person?

I only judge a person on who they are, and how they act.  I don't care about bed points, nor do I particularly care about age.  

However, if I'm being honest, if you're banging on about how many young ones (and how often), you're taking one home in a weekend, I just think you're a dick.

Honestly, I tried to put flowers round that part, but no, I just think you're a dick.

The rest of it, I just don't care.

Kissy hugs
