Not according to creep who claims that the feeling is the only part of homosexual that counts. And since I cannot know how another person feels unless they tell me, I can only know if a person is homosexual if they announce they are. According to Creep no amount of gay sex makes a person homosexual as long as they "feel" straight or are attracted to the opposite sex only.
Of course, we all know that this is ridiculous, but my point is and has been from the start that the term homosexual is too vague to be used in a SCIENTIFIC manner. It's all a matter of personal interpretation and not well defined guidelines. I've met people that claimed to know from age five they were gay and people that didn't even consider it until they were 40. By creeps definition, they're both "homosexuals" yet their experience has been vastly different.
It is irresponsible to assume they are the same type, or that they share some mutant gene, based on the fact that at some point in their lives they decided they were gay.
As for the subjective argument... Xman, I'm pretty sure you don't understand what I'm talking about at all based on your post. Possibly you are being argumentative, but I'll say it again quickly...
There is almost certainly an objective universe, but YOU cannot experience it objectively. You're experience is subjective. Even stepping off a skyscraper and falling to your death is a subjective experience, no matter how objective we want gravity to be.
Does objective reality exist? I believe so (Notice I'm giving a subjective opinion.) You claim that you "know" it exists. (Also a subjective opinion.) But that has never been my point. My point has been and continues to be that the way you experience the world is subjective and must always be subjective. For your view of reality to be objective you would have to be omniscient. If you don't understand why, I can go on about this shit for days, so just ask.
