There are just as many personal idiosyncrasies that distinguish everyone from the next person, as there are things that distinguish each person religiously, socially, culturally, financially, politically, etc. Why do you think accepting and defining your own sexuality, and having others accept it, is harder than any other facet of human development?

What does fluidity mean to you? Why does it sometimes prompt rejection, and a feeling of being out of place within the LGBT community? Or, conversely, does it lead to wider acceptance of different kinds of sexuality?

Though the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was a giant step forward, the fact remains that there is still a long way to go in terms of equal rights in the military for women, in the gay community, and especially in the trans community. How do you feel about transgender Americans being excluded from the DADT repeal?

Did you attend Creating Change this year? How was your experience? A number of people VenusPlusX interviewed there, for its Sexual Freedom Project, wanted to mention that the structure of the program made them feel separated and sequestered into their chosen labels and groups in the name of creating “safe” places that encourage deeper discussion.
While this aspect can be retained, what are some of the benefits of expanding into other spaces that purposel cross-reference different points of view, as are often found at the intersections of sexual identity and gender expression? We will forward your ideas on to the Creating Change 2013 organizers and share them on this site.

Are we all “born this way” or is it possible for us to evolve in our sexuality as we grow up? Do you agree that there is pressure even within the LGBT community to conform to the idea that our sexual orientation and gender identification is inherent, genetic, or otherwise predisposed? What does “born this way” mean to you?
