discussion Are gay, bi, straight, asex and les the only acceptable sexual orientations?

[Mr.Link]

In plain 2022 we still have people being literally executed for the mere thought of being attracted to the same gender. And here we have some special snow flakes writing essays on which label suits them better because they enjoy feeling oppressed even by the oppressed

In what way does language change then? Who has the authority to change it if not people, you know, the beings that actually create it and use it? 

 

You can stay bitter and pressed, won't change the fact that your argument makes no sense.

I’m not bitter you are doing too much. So nasty.

It makes us look like a joke. Language needs to be set. It can’t change so often you have to teach people new terms and definitions constantly. 

This, it gives the idea that LGBT is an ever-changing trend or style. Specific niche preferences shouldn't be apart of the main label.

Your argument is fair

Tea, which is why most people identify as "sodomites" and "tribads" today given that language never changes!

 

Such a weirdo trait of any conservative LGBT people to view language as innate and never-changing when we're barely a century out of "homosexual" existing as a non-medicalized term denoting mental illness.

The reason that there can be more than two genders is because of the changing of language.

But you just said it's fair to argue language doesn't change? And who is talking about trans people?

 

We're talking about sexuality. "Gay" as a term related to same-sex attraction is less than 80 years old.

 

How does language like "gay" go from not existing in relation to a particular sexuality to the most common word for it in less than a singular lifetime if "language needs to be set and not change"?

These people are trying to find traits from their persona/personality, put them a label and turn them intro cliques, so they think they belong somewhere, while at the same believe they are unique.

 

Millennials/Gen Z truly need to talk about this.
