I met a lady who was interested in discussing sexuality and was acceptable of someone being gay (which is a big deal here in Africa). It is hard to find people like that, but the flip side was she was not acceptable to why someone will be bisexual. For her being bisexual is being greedy and wanting the best of both worlds.
The conversation changed from sexuality to grouping people based on your idea, drawing a line and saying people on this side are this and those on the other side are that.
Life draws no lines, and it is impossible to group certain sect of people into known groups. The LGBTQ community has the “Q” (Queer/Questioning) as an umbrella term to cover those who are unsure or would rather not be grouped or tagged by a sexual orientation.
Being intellects does not give us the right to dictate to others who they are and where they fit. We are more than just pieces of a puzzle because a puzzle has a certain goal where every piece must be in the right spot to get to that goal. But in life, every piece has its own goal, and it doesn't need every single member of the home race or every member of its group sect to make itself a masterpiece.
We need to be open-minded to the world and the different possibilities that are out there.
I for one accept, “I'm not set on anything, I know nothing about anything and what I do know are ideas which are subject to criticism and change.”
We have to be open-minded to everything and never concluding on a matter without evidence, just because you think it is so, does not make it so.
