Amazing asks:
So, with respect to sexual orientation alone, in what sense is Ann screwed up?
Joelbear replies:
Well, I can only make an educated guess, since I can't know what is actually happening in Ann's mind. I will pose some possibilities.
1) She never had any lesbian orientation and used the attention Ellen was getting to grab onto for her own publicity.
2) She is indeed a lesbian but has decided that will now hold her back from the things she wants to accomplish, so she has decided to marry instead.
3) She is bisexual, but again, thinks the heterosexual thing plays better for her career.
4) She is too confused by the abuse and drug use to be in connection with what her true feelings are.
Try as you might Amazing, unless you have 6 billion boxes to put people in, you aren't gonna be able to solve this riddle.
When you start looking at how people really live their lives instead of how they answer a questionnaire or present themselves in public, you find that sexual orientation and the innumerable behaviors and life decisions that go with it may fit into ranges but not into categories.
Remember in my life I dated women for 15 years, was I heterosexual then, nope. I have had sex with several married men who are still married to women, are they gay, bisexual, horny? Is a married man who closes his eyes and thinks about men when having sex with his wife heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual?
peace
