Asking people if their sexuality is a phase is definitely rude and offensive. It's one thing to be confused about someone else's orientation, but it's another thing to invalidate them after they answer your question.

Dont overreact (and dont take offense on that either :P ) Literally everything is a phase, life is facetteous and whimsical.

Maybe I should start asking straight people if they're going through a phase. :) I only ever hear people ask non-straight people if it's just a phase.

If you asked me I would just answer.

Don't get worked up about such trivial things, people.

It's not trivial. You're just ignorant and straight.

Yes it feels hard but once you learn all the right techniques and methods finding a soulmate should be much easier than before.

I see you typed the following statement. "Everywhere I look, everyone is paired up"
This might help do not use the words everyone, everywere those are not true or helpful.
Maybe if you use someone,somewere and the like it will help escape the limiting statement ?
Not saying it's easy to do but thinking less in 0 or 1 or binary might help you think more clearly
about the subject ?

Nope, you need to stop being ignorant to gay and bi people by asking them if their sexuality is a "phase". It stems from ignorance about sexuality and from homophobia, and it's considered rude. Don't be rude. If someone tells you a question you've asked or something you've said is rude in their culture, don't tell them to "chill out"--the correct way to respond to that is to apologise and don't ask it/say it anymore. Your parents should have explained this to you when you were a child. It's very basic common courtesy.

What is polite and what isn't, depends on geography.

I'm from Northern Europe, where people just go about their business instead of blowing their top at the slightest thing. :roll:

Don't listen to them, they're ignorant. Many people have phases or are in a period where they are unsure of their sexuality. From the way people here are speaking it looks like it is something shameful.

If I were you I wouldn't apologise, they're the ones who called you ignorant and homophobic. But hey not my business.

If you offend someone accidentally and apologize for it, then the onus is on them to not bear a grudge and get over it. But if you say something that is personally insulting to someone, refuse to apologize and act like they are overreacting and being "too sensitive" then that is universally rude no matter where you are in the world. If you deliberately disrespect people, then one of these days you should prepare to get knocked out, bruised, bloodied, or even put in the hospital.



Also,

BROMANCE in this thread. Kyle Katern and PeaceSells gittin it on! :mrgreen:

The people you were speaking to just told you it's rude to them. So stop being rude. Is common courtesy really too much to ask?

I didn't call him homophobic. Please don't shove words into my mouth. I simply found it insulting that he doubted my sexuality when I told him what it was. If I thought it was just a phase, I would've said that I wasn't sure what my sexuality is. I accept your apology, Kyle. Now can't we just be friends?
