"Why not just ask both questions? " Because it would affect the first set of answers. But don't worry, this is just the yes/no part the debate question comes later - honestly. | |||

"This is going to be a 2 Question thread. Q1. Is it shameful to be gay or bisexual? Once (if) there's quite a few replies, I'll ask the second question to see what people's opinions are on that. I promise it's not a trick question or set up, just the start of a conversation about a topic that's not often addressed. Cheers everyone " If you internalise it as shamefulness for yourself then it is i.e. who can say "no" if that is what you feel and believe. And there's nothing wrong with that because by acknowledging "the shame" you can work through it. For others the answer will be no. Yet others will may say "why doesn't it even matter". From my perspective associating shamefullness with any sex or gender identity is about social settlement or engineering. I was raised in a post colonial patriarchal world where my environment gave me fixed ideas. Note that I said fixed and not wrong. Importantly, this isn't anyone's fault (parents, teachers etc) because it represented the thought and social practises of that time. From my own observations having worked in different places, companies and seeing the average age of the workplace plummet, I see a difference. And its a positive one. I see more acceptance, tolerance and understanding. That's my observation but I don't know everyones journey so it could be that some people still had a sense of shame at some point that they had to overcome. If they do, then they really shouldn't and fortunately there are places (like this one) to help and many more. | |||

"No it's not shameful and I speak as someone who doesn't have even the slightest interest in other men." Then again from reading the op I shouldn't have answered at all because as I'm not bi or gay how would I know the answer to that question? I have no experience of other people's attitude. | |||

"Just playing devil's advocate here, but a lot of the answers above about there being no shame attached to their sexuality add the caveat that they would never want their family or friends to find out. This implies that they do indeed find an element of what could be called "shame" in their chosen lifestyle." How much of your fab lifestyle do you share with your family or acquaintances? I don't want to be subjected to homophobia and sadly I know I would. Gbat | |||

Not wanting the family to know could also be about the inconvenience of having to explain oneself, being subject to ignorance or intolerance from family members. And many more things. All those things can happen to a person that isn't ashamed of who they are. | |||

I don't want to be subjected to homophobia and sadly I know I would. Gbat " People will have all sorts of different reasons for keeping elements of their life private and there's nothing wrong with that, it's their choice after all. And I understand perfectly that for some, like yourself, the hassle you'd receive from family or others is going to be a large factor in your decision to keep things to yourself. I never lose sight of the fact that many people don't have the freedom to be themselves due to the attitudes of others, their work situation or a myriad of other reasons. I'm lucky. Not only can I be open about my involvement in swinging but I honestly couldn't care less what people think about it, and that includes what they think about my sexuality. | |||

"I think it depends on the environment. I worked at gatwick airport for a long time, while it was acceptable for a woman to be bisexual or even gay, it was not ok for a man to be the same. There is still a stigma attached to it, in certain groups and areas." | |||

"I agree that, unfortunately, it depends on environment, culture, religion etc. Even in swingers clubs, bi play between women is encouraged and sought after, whereas bi male play, on a regular night, is frowned upon. Unless it happens in a private room. I am bisexual, very open about it, but if I went back to my country, I wouldn't be able to be openly bi. I like bi men.

"You can’t seriously be asking this? " I can actually see why the question was asked. The reason I say this is I absolutely do not think it's shameful however many do and suicide rates amongst gay and bi young men is shocking! What is shameful is that many people feel ashamed by their sexuality and that is something as a society thankfully we are addressing but we need to do more and quickly. | |||
