Another note: On a CSI episode Grissom talked about how oysters have three genders: male, female, and undecided, where they can later choose what they want to be. I understand gay is not the same thing as trans, but i thought I'd bring it up... seems related.

I think bi doesn't exist. I think it's just someone afraid of or their own homosexuality. If you feel like you've got no support with oyur friends, admit you're a lesbian to yourself. They don't have to know. Don't play it up and date guys if you don't want to, but you don't have to wave it around and make yourself vulnerable to cruel teen "bullying."

I believe everyone is a bit Bicurious themselves. If you have never even THOUGHT about it then you're quite weird and maybe may be from another planet.

I know for a fact I'm not even a tiny bit homosexual. Not even incidentally. Of course, that could just be the predominant straight part of me speaking, but I like to think Kinsey was just crazy.

I am a lesbian but I am not out. I have friends who say really bad things about homosexuality and that scares me. But about bisexuality - I think that there are people who are really bisexual and we shouldn't assume bad things about all of them because that could be really potentially harming to a person.

I would say that on the Kinsey Scale, 0 and 6 don't exist, and that 1-5 are too vague. For instance, I don't quite consider myself totally straight, but I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm even incidentally homosexual. I prefer to think of the "scale" as a rainbow (fitting, right?), with infinite shades.


And then, as the books were told, Fina replied: "A can of worms, my dear friend? What has this to do with reason?"

I agree with jamjamjam. I think that most people are bisexual to some extent, like in the Kinsey scale. What do you guys think of the kinsey model?

Kinsey Scale:

0= totally straight
1=predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2= predominantly heterosexual, more than incidentally homosexual
3=equally heterosexual and homosexual.
4=predominantly homosexual, more than incidentally heterosexual
5=predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual.
6= totally homosexual

i agree with you;why does it matter so much if your gay/bi? i think i might be bi too. it's kind of embarrasing to actually say it to someone else[even though its only online]

i believe that everyone is ultimatly bisexual, and that humans just lean towards different sides of the pole and some are in the middle. But that's just my opinion.

It's a difficult subject. I don't think anyone really knows for sure. ( know I don't. It would be dumb to claim to. )

It's just hard for me to do. I mean, I can't even envision myself liking another guy the way I like girls. It just...doesn't happen. But I figure if I can't understand it, I can't condemn it either. That would be pretty hypocritical on my part.

But it makes me wonder if I was forced by society to like guys and maybe I naturally was attracted to girls.


That's an interesting idea. I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe bisexual people were born homosexual, but got a heavy dose of "be straight or else" as kids and are now stuck right in the middle. It's nurture and nature! I dunno...

Anyways, as much as I try to understand homosexuality, I just can't wrap my mind around bisexuality. No offense, Triss (and anyone else who's bi), but it just seems like it has to be a choice. Maybe that's a result of all the adolescent girls in high school who claimed to be bi...

I wouldn't date a bi girl, though. It's bad enough worrying about competition from other guys without worrying about the girls, too.



Its okay clpo, I didn't realize I was attracted to girls till I was I was 18, I mean it was a taboo for me comming from a strong christian family, so I always ignored it.


J'irai bien.

I think eating mushrooms is disgusting. In fact, this is the truth folks, every time I see someone eating mushrooms, I want to throw up. It's just... sick, wrong and disgusting. It's also creepy that they can stomach that kind of crap.

I used to think like that about bisexuality too, clpo. I've since then been able to put myself in their shoes for a minute or two. You've already demonstrated you can't do that, so I won't suggest it. Wink But that's all I have to say. Nothing to the point.

Listen, this is bullshit. You have no right to speak to someone that way just because of their sexual orientation, or ANY reason for that matter.
