All Hail, The Picture Of Absolute Ginger Perfection
Words will cheapen this beyond beautiful public moment between Rojo Caliente, her queen Cynthia Nixon and the adorable new Rojo Prince of Gingers Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni (aka Prince MEN), so I will leave you to print this out in the finest velvet, frame it in gilded gold and place it at an altar surrounded by cinnamon candles. This is my new religion (sorry, Church of Lucite). Who needs a fireplace (or even a radiator that works) when you've got this?
But I will say just one thing.... Why the hell are they posing in front of that cheap ass business park curtain?! They should be in front of a royal blue velvet curtain trimmed with solid gold! Oh, what am I saying? Rojo is forever humble. And we pray....
(Thanks to everyone who sent this in)

Ziggy- I don't have a masters in cog psych, I have a degree. My masters (which I don't yet have) is in Psychotherapy, has aspects which are scientific and some that aren't. It very much depends on your approach. Anyway, the theory I espouse below on fluctuating sexuality is my own opinion, no basis in science whatsoever, but if you had read what I was saying, I do not believe that people who consider themselves to have been born homosexual could have their sexuality changed, which is not to say that they will never be attracted to a member of the opposite sex. Many people who find themselves in a homosexual relationship do not consider themselves gay from birth. This is a world of infinite variety in all aspects of ourselves and somebody claiming that they believe their own sexuality to be fluid, or that some peoples are, does not mean that this would or should apply to everyone.

Been busy all day, decided to do a drive-by, and this is the shit I read. Zomay, you fucking rock. Being a single mom, by choice or not, is hard as SHIT. The fact that your child is happy as you say she is means that you are owning that shit.
Having two parents in a house is ideal but if one parent isn't up to standard, ie. abusive, deadbeat, etc., then it is perfectly ok to kick a bitch to the curb.

@Ziggy,
Kinsey was controversial, and had his detractors (I've a hunch which one you got your "facts" from), all of whom had agendas themselves. The data Kinsey collected was carefully analyzed more than once in light of accusations by those detractors, possible falsified stats were removed, the numbers re-run, and the results were the same. This information is available through numerous sources, none of which strike a shrill tone.
The only person who could accurately determine Kinsey's sexual proclivities or "perversions" is Kinsey. You didn't know him, and he's dead. You are accepting opinion--opinion which you conveniently happen to agree with, since it supports your flawed logic--as fact, and that's some seriously crappy science. I doubt they teach a course in Mudslinging 101 at any of the better colleges. (Kinsey went to Harvard, btw.)
You sound like a Scientologist, hurling the word "false" around as if that's all it takes to refute the legitimacy of a scientist's life's work. If you were fortunate enough to actually meet a person whose sexuality does not fit neatly in one category or the other, perhaps you would begin to understand what the rest of us are talking about. I have a feeling you are too afraid, though.
You're not going to get anywhere in "science" or whatever discipline it is that you think you are expert in, as long as your judgment is clouded by bias (and fear) in the face of living proof that you are wrong. The world doesn't need any more of that kind of scientist, thanks.

Neither science or religion can completely explain the strange and wonderful desires of the human heart and genitals. Live and let live, I say. Free to Be...You and Me
I'm sure someone mentioned this somewhere so I apologize if I am repeating. Most gays and lesbians have to work pretty damn hard to become parents. That alone speaks volumes as they actively want and work for their children--I highly doubt there are many oops we're having a baby moments. Also alot of gay couples adopt kids that are seen as "less than desirable" by many (foster kids, kids with disabilities, older kids).
I would have loved to have two rich lesbian mommas growing up.
Kinsey's research has no scientific credibility.
But let's play along and pretend that Kinsey really was an expert on sexual behaviour.
Are you aware that Kinsey was also a paedophile sympathiser and much of his data came from sex offenders who molested children?
This is the man who would claimed that children - as young as babies - were sexual beings who enjoyed having sex with adults. He read the diaries of child molesters and used them as evidence that children have orgasms.
Yeah, that's the kind of data that we should base theories of normal human behaviour on.

mcnightmare, don't argue with ZiggyStardust. You will just get frustrated. Her mind doesn't work like the rest of ours.
Clairy,
It matters because of its repercussions.
If sexuality is fluid, then it's malleable and can be changed either through will or outside intervention.
If sexuality is fluid, then we would be able to develop programmes that can reassign people a new sexual orientation. Countless people across the world are desperately unhappy with their sexual orientation and would love to become something else.
We've had at least 100 years of psychiatrists trying to change people's sexual orientation. In this time, there has yet to be a single credible case study that demonstrates orientation can be changed.
I'm also unaware of any longitudinal data that shows how sexual orientation can change across the lifespan - whether it be spontaneously or as a result of internal or external inputs.
I have read several case studies of patients showing different sexual behaviour following brain injury or epilepsy though.
Science is a wonderful thing. We should all try to apply scientific thinking to as much of our lives as possible. Science is also open to abuse though.
Claiming that your views have scientific evidence - when actually, you have no idea if it does have scientific grounding - is an abuse of science. Science doesn't exist to make you feel better about yourself, or to reinforce your world view.
If your ideas don't have scientific support, then that's fine. Maybe it does, and you're just not aware of it, or maybe it will in the future. This can be an exciting prospect.
Whenever I meet people who throw the immortal 'studies show that...' without being able to support it, then I slap them across the face. HARD.
BTW, if you have a Masters in cognitive psychology then you are surely trained in science.

Amen. People have to judge and label what they don't understand because they're scared of it, and this false judgment gives them a sense of safety. It's easier to hate something than to take the time to understand, lest they find out some unpleasant truths about themselves as well. It's always about fear.

"Oh, no, brotha, ah can't dance wit chu!"
@precociousmagpie, I agree completely. Although with myself, I range from a one on the scale to a code red, depending on the situation and how many drinks I've had that evening. And I know I'm not alone.
Late to the rumble, and not at all interested in anything bostonfartbeans has to say, but wanted to just throw in a name I hadn't seen (unless I missed it, in which case, my apologies):
KINSEY.
Easy to look up Kinsey's scale, which describes sexuality as existing on a continuum. Old news. (I'm a "zero", FWIW.) It's got plenty of "science", too, to back it up.
It is totally possible, to answer whoever asked, for someone who considered themselves straight for decades to find themselves attracted to someone of their own gender. They are free to refer to themselves as whatever they want--the label is their business, not anyone else's--and the study sample I hung out with (I called them "my friends") all said the same thing: You fall in love with the PERSON, not the gender. I admit I found it hard to understand at first, but that's because I'm a zero. (so far ;^) )
These friends were not pretending to be straight, or in denial, or confused, or anything like that. Perhaps they just had not met the right person up to that point. And some of them went back to dating the opposite gender. Sorry, folks, but sexuality is fluid. I suspect that anyone who insists it isn't, or can't be, is in some sort of denial of their own.

Hahahaha LaChaylo - Rip Taylor! I saw wizard of oz last night (bc netflix put it up and I watched all the roseannes) and I wonder if he was the gatekeeper? Rip taylor should be a gatekeeper for whoever can get a username to post comments on dlisted, and richard simmons can back him up.
*************************
No, the gatekeeper was Frank Morgan, who also played the Wizard of Oz, the Horse of a different color coach driver and I think the gypsy salesman who told Dorothy to go home when she ran away after Toto escaped Ms. Gulch. I think he had several parts in the movie. Rip Taylor is much younger, but it does look like him.
Well, seeing as I have waded into this debate, and I'm waiting for my bolognese to cook I will put forth a brief theory formed from my own opinion on flutuating sexuality.
3 possible causes of sexuality:
1.Genetic
2.Hormonal/other biological
3.Environmental/social
Like most complex things in life such as personality, the cause of sexuality is likely to be a combination of these 3 factors, in most people. Some may only have 1 contributing factor, some may have more. To claim that sexuality will never fluctuate over the lifespan, one would have to suppose that sexuality is purely genetic in all people at all times. Until this is proved categoricaly, then it is perfectly logical to assume that for some people their sexuality may change or fluctuate in accordance with hormone levels or some other factor. Many gay people say they were born that way and there is no reason to disbelieve that, these might be the people for whom genetics is the strongest contributing factor. For others, they may never have feelings for the same sex until they meet someone who changes their perception, this might be due to hormones, or , more romantically, because they simply fall in love with the person not the genetalia. Life, biology and humanity are too complicated to state that all things are one way for all people all of the time.
End of theory.

Clairey - have you studied brief psychodynamic theory/methods? I was a CBT freak before that book. I remember researching in undergrad at the library and got in trrouble for accessing porno b.c. CBT also means cock and ball torture
____________________________
As a teenager I always assumed CBT meant 'cock and ball torture' because I had some pretty nasty guy friends. I only learned CBT could stand for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in college. So being a neurotic mess I always have some shrink recommending 'CBT' and my inner junior high self thinks Cock and Ball Torture.
Sugarfree- I have touched on CBT but not done in detail, my Uni is dedicated to old school Psychodynamic but I am very interested in CBT, I like the pragmatic results based approach, suits me a bit better personality wise. Dunno what it's like in the US (assuming that is where you are) but most CBT masters and further training courses in UK are for people already practising in health care, they don't accept you unless you have field experience. I would like to do one after my masters, as I think it would work well with children, but that is years away as I'm doing it part time around work.

Attachment parenting, yeah!!
I will expose this much about myself, and never again. I have a kid, and I attachment parent to death. I carried him in a sling for as long as I could, but my kid was a fat ass! I think one of the reasons that he is pretty independnet (his personality aside) is because he knows that I'm there to pick him up and hug and kiss him whenever and for no reason. Just love them, man, and when they test your last nerve, go in another room and close the door, if necessary. Give yourself a time out. Call a friend. Have a drink. Smoke a bowl. But love the damn kid.
Off to enjoy the day. All of you do it, too, okay?

Clairey,
No, I wasn't referrng to the article that you posted. If you read my posts then you'll see that I'm only interested in whether or not sexuality is fluent over the life span.
I've not made any reference to the adjustment of children raised by same or different-sex couples, so I really don't understand the point in your post.

Yes, isn't odd, how the people who looked so normal and came from these "amazing" homes, ended up being the most fucked up people ever? I mean I had no idea that I was actually envied by a lot of my friends for the great home I had. I always wondered why people liked hanging out with me and my mom. Then, later on I found out why. My house was the sane, safe place where they could have fun like normal kids and do normal things without fucked up mom and dad doing some shit to them. I knew I had it good, just didn't know how good, as at a young age, I wasn't even aware of the messed up shit parents can do to their kids.

I don't know i you mean the link I posted, but ifyoudid, here goes... it was a summary article from Time. Articles in the mainstream media rarely contain data sets. If you would like to see the data and methodology, feel free to look it up. These are just the conclusions.
I have a BSC in Cognitve Psychology and am studying for an MSC in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, specialising in children and adolescents. So no, not 'trained in science' as you so lucidly put it, but this is an area to which I have a certain amount of training. My particular field is attachment theory and the impact of insecure attachments on later violent or disfunctional behaviour. Not lesbian child rearing particularly and still learning of course, but I'd be interested to hear your credentials.
