Role of Sexual Orientation

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

I am facilitating this dialogue course in Education and Public Policy Department and as a part of it we were exploring what sexual orientation means to each of us. So I pose three questions to you:

1. What does sexual orientation mean to you?
                Is it defined by which biological sex we are attracted to physically?
                Is it defined by which gender we are attracted to ?
                Is it defined only on the basis of physical attraction or on the basis of mental attraction              also (i.e. if we can at all separate the two, without playing games with ourselves,                          games which might be derived of social conditioning)?

2. What role does your sexual orientation play in your life, in the choices you make?

3. Would you date someone who is bisexual?

and yes, I will post my response too, just not yet, for fear of setting a pattern of reply.
