See, I don't think sexual orientation has anything to do with love, any more than sexual attraction has anything to do with being in love. So whether or not love is a choice is a totally different issue than whether or not sexual orientation is a choice. One is an emotion, the other is hormones.

(And obviously, having sex with someone is a choice. But surely there are gay and straight virgins in this world.)

Whether emotions are anything other than biological is an infinitely more complicated question. Personally, I don't think anything we do is outside the realm of biology, including choice, so it's not an either/or question. We're flesh and blood and neurochemistry.

What's b.org policy regarding members who are vampire? Do we have something in the FAQ about it being OK as long as they don't bite other Buffistas? Or is it OK to bite/vamp another Buffista as long as that other Buffista gives consent?

psst. you might want to be careful mentioning blood around Perkins...

Stake them.

Or, you know, feed them a nice steak wrapped in bacon and topped with swiss cheese.

What is the b.org policy about staking other board members? You know, just in case. . .

It has to be proposed in Bureau, seconded, and then voted on (2/3 majority needed).

First, they get a warning and then 10 other people have to say that the vampire deserves the staking and then we vote on what kind of stake to use and who gets to stake them.

I'm fairly certain stabbing a board member in the heart would count as a personal attack.

I don't, either. I don't actually really see a difference between sexual orientation and sexual attraction for what it's worth, either.

So whether or not love is a choice is a totally different issue than whether or not sexual orientation is a choice. One is an emotion, the other is hormones.

Right. Well, I think attraction, although fueled by hormones is probably crafted by a lot of stuff, and different stuff in different people.

Well, yes, but they are ok as long as everyone votes on it, right?
