I had this whole idea of this video I wanted to make

kinda explaining my thoughts and ideas on sexual preference

Past simple

and so the first thing when I started to do that was

googled sexual preference and it turns out that

is considered offensive and the reason that some people consider

implies "choice". So my first reaction to finding this out

was that their seem to be a lot of things I'm supposed to find offensive as

the second thing I thought about was that didn't really make sense to me

so it turns out that there are actually different types of preferences

and in psychology there are preferences that are

non-choice preferences like biological preference

and genetic preference and sexual preference

falls under those categories. So if you're educated, referring to it as sexual preference

isn't actually bad or shouldn't offend you

a biological or genetic or "non-choice" preference

Which I am, in this video, considering it a non choice

preference. So my first idea, before I did any of this

sexual preference to another type of preference

and I was just going to compare it to a food preference and then after a I started doing this research

I realized maybe that would be offensive to compare

a preference for food. But crazily enough

there are now European scientists that are researching

a new project on the genetics of food preference

foods we find attractive and which ones we don't

so I was like that's crazy! it's all genetic it's all

non choice preference so I'm going to compare sexuality

with food preference and it's not offensive

okay so let's just talk about food. I'm going to compare

apples and bananas and my preference for them

My personal preference. I don't like bananas.

At all. I've never liked em'. I don't know why. Must be in my genes.

banana I'm gonna choose an apple 99.9999999% of the time

but on this same spectrum there are going to be people who

because they don't like Apples, and that's okay! In that same way

going to choose a woman 99.9999999999999999999

and on the opposite side, there are girls that are gonna like

in science those two ends are the extreme cases, right?

in real life I think we can all agree that you're more likely to find someone

40% of the time and people that pick an apple 50% of the time

and a banana 50% of the time, or banana.. whatever

any combination of these percentages. it actually kinda makes more sense

that's actually a concept that makes more sense to us, right? meeting someone

who likes apples and bananas, is not that freakin weird!

we wouldn't consider someone who likes apples AND bananas selfish

we would just consider them a person who finds joy

SO, if sexuality is a preference, a non-choice preference,

genetic preference, just like liking one food or another

is maybe now a genetic preference.  Then would you not agree

that someone who is homosexual and someone

who is straight are actually the extremes! and there are

a helluva lot more people that fall in the middle

than on the ends. Doesn't that make more sense?

it's funny because I feel like it's not that hard of a concept to

we still don't really get that in real life, right? Like

we still have a hard time believing that someone can

find equal pleasure in dating a girl as they can in dating a guy

and I think that has a lot to do with just stereotypes. if we would

as the crazy girl at a party looking for attention

who is just half closeted. maybe we could open ourselves up to the idea that

it actually makes a lot more sense to find pleasure in both!

is that, I've just seen a lot of negative

and the thing that bothers me so much about that

from the gay community. I just can't wrap my head around

how a group of people who have been personally

could do the same thing to someone else. like you'd think we'd understand more

how painful that is, but yet we do it.  So those are just my opinions

on sexuality and what I think of sexual preference and... yeah

I wanna hear what y'alls ideas are about sexual preference

and I just think it's an interesting thing to talk about and I like getting new ideas and opinions

so leave me comments!  and if you think this shirt is cool and you wanna get one for yourself

I'll have information on how you can buy one
