Dating the Individual

My roommate a while ago was on a "Sex in the City" kick. I think I kinda am too. But in one of the episodes Samantha goes on a rant about gay guys and sexuality. Says something to the effect of how "in the future it won't even matter even more who's straight, or gay or bi. It won't matter if they're dating someone from the same sex, just that they're dating an individual."

It struck a cord in me, "dating an individual", I mean, I can see what she's talking about. It shouldn't matter if the person you're in love with or dating is someone of the opposite or same sex. All that should matter is if you are attracted to that person = mind, body, and soul. It's been something I was struggling with (especially with "coming out") because it makes me feel a bit of a traitor for having that way of thinking. I mean, people say "I can't help it, God made me this way" I don't think God made anyone Gay per say, I just don't think it matters. God made it so that you don't see lines, so that you have the capability to love and be with another one of his creatures. Now, if you stick to a particular gender great, if you don't care about gender and see all sexes as equally attractive, great. The point is, it shouldn't really matter. There shouldn't be a distinction line between who can get married and who can't. There shouldn't be a distinction line between what sex gets into heaven and who can't. Only because there is no distinction line. (Not trying to get to much into the religious aspect of it but - Yes, sexuality in the sense of ritual practices and worship is wrong, lust is wrong, (we all do it anyway, but that's a different story) but the only sexual perversion or displeasing lies with the fact that man puts SEX before God sometimes. There are more verses in the bible going against "heterosexuals" and sexual acts) Labels, categories, hooray for pride week because it's the only chance we have to show that WE WANT THE SAME THINGS - TO BE WITH THE PERSON WE LOVE (at least that is my thought).
But then I think, if we were all the same, if people really didn't have a problem, there would be no controversy, no struggles, and then some loves wouldn't make it because they have nothing to make themselves as individuals or as a couple to make themselves stronger. There would be no reason for my blog ( ).

So is it possible for the terms to be a fad, and for it to all blend from hetero and homo to individuals? Would we really want that?
