You've gotta be kidding me. I hope I'm reading you wrong (and I keep rereading it, because part of me is sure that you're not really saying this), but are you essentially saying that people are straight because society tells them to be? Please. Just because you happen to be attracted to both genders doesn't mean that you're the future of humanity, the pinnacle of what we should be in the future. The mere thought of this offends me to the nth degee.
I can't even comment back to the Alistair thing, because the idea that you somehow intrinsically understand that Alistair may be gay/bi because he's just "never thought about it before" is silly--especially since Word of God tells you that you're wrong! Alistair was surrounded by men, all day, every day, and was never attracted to them. Querne is putting it in a more coherent, nice fashion than I, but there you go.
The Alistair thing is Schroedinger's cat. As long as he hasn't thought about his sexuality, he's practically pansexual and asexual at the same time. At any rate, the Alistair thing wasn't terribly serious. He just struck me as very stereotypically gay in many regards. Which isn't even to say that it's anywhere near reality. I definitely know more butch gay men than I know effeminate ones. But Alistair's clearly on the effeminate side.
And I'm not trying to make any qualitative judgment on sexual orientations one way or another. I just resent the idea that sexual orientation is hardwire into our very beings as opposed to be a matter of taste and occasionally choice. If someone only ever fancies one gender and never has any interest in the other, I couldn't care less.
And yes, I'm used to that kind of reaction. I know quite a few homosexuals (usually men, but then I tend to have troubles with men of any orientation for no apparent reason) who, in a defensive reaction to the world around them, celebrate and project their different lifestyle very starkly. Those guys usually feel like I'm trying to lessen just how special they are by daring to suggest that their Maker-given sexual orientation is simply a matter of preference. Oddly, conservative people share that sentiment at that point, though they are of course coming from a different direction.
And once more, yes, in a vacuum, without comparable experiences of their own, people will take more cues from their environment than their own mind. Because there's nothing comparable there to work from. This goes for people getting married and having kids before they realize they're homosexual for example. It's more likely for your environment to push you in the straight direction by majority alone. But I've seen the opposite happen at least once, with a girl who was a hardcore lesbian when I met her, who's now engaged to a strapping lad, pregnant and not the least bit interested in women. All of this apparently based on her best friend being a lesbian.
It's not my fault we're built that way.
