I'm a very liberal person by nature, but this is an issue that i came across that to me & others i have spoken to is a bit of a gray area. The scenario;
Say you have moved to a house in a new area and it has a guest bedroom. One of your best friends is a guy who is gay and is in a long term relationship with another guy who is also very nice. Naturally your friend would like to come over and see your new place, and because it is quite a long drive away and you have a guest bedroom you are considering having him come over and stay the night.
You are totally fine with him being gay and have nothing against his relationship with his boyfriend. You agree strongly with the rights of gay people because it is right to do so.
But the thought occurs that like any other couple, he may have sex with his partner overnight in the guest bedroom in your house. You may be totally cool with gay people but you also may not find what they get up to appealling in the slightest.
The thought of 2 guys having sex may completely gross you out.
But on the other hand you can hardly tell your friend "Sure you & your partner can stay over in my house as long as you promise not to have sex with each other!". Equally though if it is something that grosses you out a lot you may not want to take the chance of them sleeping together overnight, and in the morning when you are taking the sheets off the bed wondering to yourself if 2 guys had sex on those sheets that you are currently handling and putting into the wash.
So considering all this do you invite your friend & his partner to stay overnight or not based on the chance they may have sex together overnight in your house on one of your beds? Honestly (really honestly), how would you truly feel?
I have my opinions on the rights & wrongs of stuff, but i'm not an easily offended person and would really be interested in hearing your opinions on this issue. We all know what we should & shouldn't say in society, but its still important how you truly feel about things. You may be completely cool with gay people, but when come up with the issue of being confronted with potential gay sex in your house would you feel that comfortable about it?
I don't think a lot of people actually would. Though i do find it kinda funny how many would probably be more comfortable with a straight pair of friends having sex in their house than a gay pair of friends. Though there are of course those who would be turned off by the thought of having anyone have sex in their house with someone else, regardless of sexual orientation.
