There are more like him that will tell you the same thing. He tells me he did not choose his sexuality, he is not proud nor ashamed of it, and that coming out as a conservative has given him much more hate than coming out as bisexual. I do have a long lost friend of a friend (definitely not me…) who happens to be bisexual. It is the driving factor behind the cancerous identity politics of years gone by, as well as today. There is also lots to be said about the toxicity of attributing different amounts of pride and virtue into different protected characteristics, of which the individual has no control over. Sexuality however, is not an achievement, just as the colour of your skin, or nationality, or gender is not an achievement. It is justifiable to be proud of finally passing your driving test after four attempts, or finally earning that pay rise, or even something as simple as plucking up the courage to go out on a Saturday night and work on overcoming your anxiety. I’ve always believed that one should only be proud of what one has achieved. You may as well be proud of taking a shit. You’re essentially proud of a perfectly natural human bodily function.

If you are a man, you are proud of the fact that the chemicals in your brain react to external stimuli, let’s say an attractive man, and subsequently send blood to your penis, causing an erection. I can agree that no one should be ashamed of anything in their identity which they have no control over (although that is apparently still up for debate, just ask my favourite person), but pushing that we should actually be proud of our sexuality or gender is a bit too much of a stretch, even for me, with my extremely socially liberal tendencies (ha, ha).Īllow me to break this down using homosexuality as an example. Before moving on to what the movement is really trying to accomplish, allow me to go along with its poor alibi. It seems this is the guise the LGBT movement uses to hide their real ulterior motives.
