So a Dictionary definition of Lifestyle is: the typical way of life of an individual, group, or culture.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lifestyle

So I am concerned. I am a Heterosexual 100%, never been anything else.

But I am concerned that I am not living that lifestyle to prove my Heterosexuality.

What do I have to do?
Watch Sports?
Wear certain clothes?
How big should my car be? Is 4cyl enough to express my Hetero culture?

If I'm not engaging in sex at all. Like celibate or having a drought, am I living the Heterosexual Lifestyle?

Wait, if I'm not having sex how do I know I'm not living a Homosexual lifestyle?

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at, to be honest. What you've mentioned above are societal stereotypes of the embodiment of heterosexuality. Does it make you a heterosexual if you watch sports? Not necessarily. Does it make you anything other than a heterosexual if you dislike sports? Not necessarily. Hetero culture, as you describe it, has different components or expectations depending on what culture, country, etc you are referring to. What is expected in one country is not necessarily expected in another. The logic is as absurd as saying one is not a woman unless they enjoy cooking.

Heterosexuality is about living your life, recognising you're made in the Image of God.

How about concern yourself with living a life worthy of your calling? You just live the life God called you to and don't worry about labeling your sexuality, economic status, religion, politcal status, etc. The only identity you need to live under is "child of God". Live under that and the rest will work itself out.

I think this was written tongue in cheek, question being who's tongue in who's cheek. When your tongue is in the cheek of the same sex you're living a homosexual lifestyle, if your tongue is in the cheek of the opposite sex you're living a heterosexual lifestyle; if your tongue never leaves your own cheeks you're living an asexual lifestyle. You may be bent one way or another, but until you actually do it it's not a lifestyle.

So okay to kiss other dudes, just no tongue? lol.

Yeah, it was written more to reflect about when people drone on about a homosexual lifestyle. I've always found it puzzling as to what that is.

It's a nice way to refer to the sexual engagements. You probably wouldn't like it if we just said, "**deleted** is bad."

While i truly believe that homosexuality is not God's best for anyone..and I believe in the Biblical concept of marriage..I do not myself, 'drone on' about anyone who's sin is rather visibly seen on the exterior..some do because I guess it's open season and easy pickings on homosexuals..that said, Sin is sin..regardless. Some just like gluttony and homosexuality more often than not are visibly seen..other sins, well you cannot see them with your carnal eyes and your 'vision' is blurred and so those who fear what they see go after it with a vengeance.

The Bible clearly states homosexuality is wrong,and its not God's best..
What christians should learn to do is to learn how to be a better witness to those who are gay or in the 'lifestyle' and do so without a hatred that some display,or a homophobia..
after all, if a man likes other men or a woman likes other women as much as a guy like me likes women,its a big problem! And its a struggle,and the church as a whole has failed to properly minister to these ones, because we see them as the lepers of today..and see them as 'unclean'

Labeling lifestyles is kind of stupid.

Your preferences are not your lifestyles until you actually act them out. Even then, it shouldn't label who you are. It's just a choice you make at that time.
