For some reason I'm still receiving comments from this feed that I blocked. You're entitled to your opinion as am I. However you don't have the right to harass me when I've made it clear by my actions that I'm no longer interested - and I'm not being facetious here, the discussion genuinely holds no more interest for me. But in the hope that I do not get any more comments on my phone I'll say..The points i made were based on studies, some by members of the LGBTQ community. One reference I'll give you..stephanie Sullivan a therapist with her own site called the comfort couch. The only caveat I'm willing to accept is my possible misunderstanding of what she posted. But unlike many of you on that feed including the author I'm open to to such a thing, I'm human. It's very ironic that the same individuals who themselves experience discrimination because of who they are, are doing the same thing to someone else. Not once have I singled out or attacked anyone for having a view different to mine -because that's what it comes down to isn't it? Being different whether by choice or circumstance. I really don't care what you all think about me, I respect you as human beings and will neither be dragged down to a level where I villanize someone for having a different opinion nor make baseless accusations. Not one of you thought to ask where I got my information, or to clarify what you didn't appreciate. Newsflash you say I'm part of the problem...hate to break to you but so are you (the universal you) all you have managed to do is prove that discrimination has only served to harden you to the point where any challenge to your life choices are met with it's own form of discrimination. I'm only responding to you because wattpad does not seem to have a way to block all notifications from this feed. Hopefully I'll find a way to do myself. Feel free to pass the message on to the rest of the peanut gallery. Believe it or not I'm glad to spark any such discussion. The world needs it.

@Wendy-578 thank you . You are so right. We can respect eachother and see eachother as individuals rather than making blanket statements as you say.

@Jbell92x I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself and your beliefs. It takes certain kind of person to sought another out just to make a point due to wanting prove point. Blanket statements for an entire community is putting fear in others. You know I’m conservative and you know my beliefs and while we have not met in person and we may never. I value your beliefs and I think we would be friends while we may not agree on everything I know we would respectful of each other. Keep being yourself and the right people will always find you my friend.

@emmalee58 1. It is not for you, or anyone else to challenge my life choices or that of other queer people. It is not a choice. 2. The fact that queer people, more so than straight people, are open to polyamory or non mongamy is not shocking. We already live outside of the box you want to put us in and straight values, especially religious ones, would not allow this. I can see this person you mentioned specialises in poly relationships. She separates that people can be queer or they can be queer AND poly. Poly and cheating are also different. One is consensual and the other isnt. Consent is key. 3. Despite the above, many bisexual people are monogamous. They have morals, integrity. They have no issue being faithful and they do not long for both genders. Poly people who are open and honest, making sure all partners are informed, also have integrity and morals. 4. The poly people I know are great communicators who are open and transparent. You can still cheat while being in a poly relationship by crossing a boundary. Relationships like that require communication, honesty, even when its uncomfortable. 5. I have not once harassed you. I told you your comment was out of line, which it was. 6. I have not attacked who you are. I have pointed out that you are being prejudiced and bi phobic. 7. The world needs discussion about acceptance and kindness. Your comments said that bisexual people were cheaters, had no integrity and had a natural aversion to monogamy because they couldn't deal with the sacrifice it takes. I dont appreciate you coming to my wall to double down on what you said.
