The vast majority of the time, sexuality is irrelevant. Hell, the only time I can think of it being relevant is when you're trying to get a boy/girl/other friend.
Poll: Why does Sexual Orientation Matter?

I'd just like to point out that homosexuality used to be illegal, and still is illegal in many countries. So based on your argument homosexuals are fair game for being judged. I think the consensual point is entirely sensible, I would perhaps just extend that to specify that those consenting have the capacity to understand what it is they're consenting to (e.g. no children).Rottweiler said:
OT: I have no idea why some people seem to think that sexual orientation is such a huge deal, and why those different from them are somehow inferior. I personally couldn't care less what someone's orientation is, as long as what they are doing is consensual (see above paragraph). The only reason I can think of is that people don't really understand how somebody could feel differently to them, and the only reaction they can muster is dislike. As far as I can see, the only reason why people are anti-homosexual is good old fashioned ignorance; they don't understand it so they must hate it.
I don't give a Scooby Doo.
My best friend is bisexual currently going through a sex change. I haven't treat her any differently, I refer to her by female now because it's what she wants to be recognised her. She still comes round to mine a lot and vice vicer, although now I suppose we can have a proper girly night rather than her feeling awkward because she was a boy xP
I can see why it bothers some people~ It's not necessarily a religion thing. Some people are just ignorant and think "That guy is gay, that obviously means he wants to fuck me up the arse, I should steer clear."
I've know people to assume gay/lesbian = Fancy EVERYONE they meet!
The only time it bothers me is when someone is obnoxious about it. Hai boiz I'm bisexual lolz LOOK AT ME BEING BISEXUAL WOOO~

Because some potentially neutral actions may have sexual context or not and we simply don't appreciate sexual advantages from everyone, do we ? Some of us simply like to know where we are - that's all.Rottweiler said:
I don't really care one way or the other. Morally to me its not a big deal. The only problem I have is when a gay man hits on me. I am NOT gay so obviously I am not into that. Generally I say that and they move on, but occasionally the keep going at it. THEN I get mad. But until that point I just feel kinda 'meh' about the whole thing.
It doesn't matter, and my opinion on this matter doesn't matter either.
Nobodies does, see this is the internet, and my sexual orientation or opinion on yours has no bearing on anything, absolutely no bearing. I have homosexual and bisexual friends, and my opinion doesn't matter to them either, and their opinion on my orientation doesn't matter to me. Most people see others as more than just a sexuality.
So why do we need a fricken topic about it every other day here? - the simple truth is we don't, get over it, stop dwelling on it, just get on with it for fuck sake. I refuse to believe that anyone really looks for this sort of acceptance here... are you guys just trying to weed out the gays so you can pester them for cock?... THAT WAS A JOKE BTW!

Sexuality really doesn't matter to me. We're all flavors of people in the giant intergalactic Baskin Robins except they didn't stop at 31 flavors or even 31,000. No matter how long you study people there will be someone who busts the mold in one way or another.
To sum it all up, there is a transfinite amount of people in this world, as it was or ever will be. We all have quirks, skills, passions, and free wills which is about the most random thing ever since random became a word.
edit: On the topic, since I left it behind my first sentence, I believe everyone has a comfort level. Everyone you meet or will meet ought to respect it in one way other another, as you respect theirs.

Oops, i accidentally voted for it does matter but i dont actually think it does.
The only time i have ever given a crap about someones orientation is when they wave it around like a flag for attention... and thats more of a personality flaw i dislike rather than the fact they're gay or bi or something.

Don't ask, don't tell.
I do not care which gender or person you are or aren't engaging in vigorous monkey sex with. I also do not wish to be informed about your bedroom preferences.
I don't need every homosexual person I meet making a point of letting me know the above any more than I do a straight person doing the same.
In short, I don't know when the bartender gets off, John/Jane, and I don't want to know what you would do to him/her with sufficient privacy, alcohol, and bondage equipment.
Nothing makes a situation more awkward than someone announcing their preferred orifice for copulation.

Which pretty much kills the argument, as there is no logical reason for anyone to be opposed to the existence of LGBT people. Only moral arguments.Rottweiler said:
A few people are addressing the question, of "why do they care" with statements about why they should have a right to know. I don't buy the "it concerns me because they may hit on me" idea.
It strikes me as no different to when a woman is hit on by a straight guy who she isn't interested in. She awkwardly turns him down, and says she isn't interested, and the guy knows in the future she isn't interested. We don't all introduce ourselves to women and immediatly ask them if they would ever be interested in having sex with us, why should it be any different with a gay person? Hell, I have been hit on by gay dudes, while it was slightly awkward, it was no big deal.
I think you made this thread a little to broad by saying: does it matter? .
I am quite convinced it does actually matter, seeing as how broad you made it.
I also do not think it's a matter of opinion whether it matters or not.
The question: 'does it matter?' is only applied to things that do actually matter but might not matter in the situation where it is asked.
As there is no situation here I feel obliged to vote yes.
If you intend to have a deeply filosophical argument in a forum try to get your poll straight.
Best regards,
Nobody

No opinion on the matter really, if someone wants to be a homosexual, I don't care, I don't approve, I don't disapprove, I don't care at all, I wish these threads would stop going on and on and on with it. The only thing I hate is how homosexuals are up in your face about it and you feel like if you don't scream out how much you appreciate them you're a homophobe.
Honestly I just don't care, if someone wants to be gay, doesn't matter, more chicks for the straight guys

I realize your probably troling. Still I want to comment on this. You severly underrestimate the life if you believe that. Any species will go to extreme measures to keep itself for going extinct. If every human being would somehow turn homosexual, then people would just get over their sexual preferences and mate to ensure the survival of humanity. Perhaps the population would drop a little, but that would be a good thing. Also the 'problem' would be solved within a generation. Biological and cultural evolution would ensure that.DeadSp8s said:
