So, what happened to bisexuality?


I kept expecting one of the guys to turn out bi, thus explaining why they kept going on and off Shania's and Bryan's gaydar. However, no, such a thing is still made to look like it doesn't exist.

I hate the idea that if a man likes other guys, he can't like women also, or vice versa. I hate society's black and white 100% gay or 100% straight view on sexuality, and it's even worse coming from a "gay" show where you would think they'd be more aware of the complexities of sexuality.

Has the word "bisexual" ever come up in a Ryan Murphy show (Glee, New Normal, etc.)?

reply

I don't even understand why it's such a hard concept to grasp...sexuality isn't just some switch that can be flipped one way or the other.

True, I imagine there ARE people who use it as a reason to stay half-in the closet, or go through it as a phase, but...really? Is it just completely beyond all possibility for someone to genuinely be attracted to both sexes?

reply

proably going to get a rash of *beep* for this but there is no bisexuality!



if that was the case Evan Rachel wood wouldnt have gotten pregnant by Jamie bell and then now is girlfriends with another woman

I don't watch Glee in anymore but I'd curious to know how he ridicules bisexuality. Bisexuality in the gay community seems to be somewhat of a touchy subject.



people dont want floaters in there life





AgentX7k
Does anyone see the denial of bisexuality to be somewhat homophobic?. Kind of like saying 'Being gay is so horrible that if someone was attracted to both why the hell would they choose to be with the same sex over the opposite? ONLY reason a guy would go for guys is if there was no chance with a woman'




Hell no
they want to test the waters before saying the G word

You have people who are sexually attracted to both genders but prefer one over another.
AND you have the middle of the road Bisexuals!! I have no reason to believe that men or women cannot be fully bisexual. They must be the luckiest people because the field is wide open for them!! Good for them!



and gays are the ones who feel the full force of them being called the F word versus bi people




queenjustine

I think (conservative) straight society feels uncomfortable with bisexuality because right away they think "promiscuous"... if you are interested in both men and women, they assume that means you are sleeping with both, which equals non-monogamy. And straight society is very concerned with monogamy as an indicator of morals. It seems that to a many members of straight society, homosexuality is preferable to bisexuality, as long as the couple in question is monogamous.




You are
why if Evan Rachel wood loved Jamie bell after having his kid would then turn full lesbian and then dump bell ass



the charade lasted for about 3 years

apparently it can with bi people!


yes it is beyond its not fluid its not pan sexual lesbian!




reply

Nah bi-denial is just for people who think homosexuality is a disgusting disability. They don't believe in it because the idea there exists a person who could be happy in a hetrosexual relationship but still choose a gay one is ridiculous to them.

Or they do believe in it and are offended by them taking it for granted. They spend their lives trying to rid themselves of gay desires and they see bisexuals spitting in their face by being in a same sex relationship when they don't have to be. Kind of like 'Omg you've been given the gift of opposite sex attraction and you just throw it away! How dare you!"

reply

Well being gay is not a choice but bi?

if Evan Rachel wood was bi she would be married to her now lesbian lover and Jamie bell

is there any surprise why Evan Rachel wood divorce Jamie bell?


reply

Being gay or bisexual isn't a a choice that's irrelevant.

No idea who these people are and I barely understand what you're saying. What is there situation got to do with bisexuality not being real?

You do know bisexual means liking both genders? Not being in a polygamous relationship. You can be bi and in a relationship with one person.

its real!! How?

yeah as soon as Evan had a kid with Jamie bell she want directly with another woman thats finally realizing your gay

reply

How does it not exist? I mean aside from a random celebrity couple what do you have to support your claim? Also your celebrity example proves nothing. Going back to a woman doesn't prove she's gay because she could still like men just not the particular man she left.

If someone says she likes chocolate and vanilla ice cream and you see seem eating chocolate does that mean they lied about vanilla?

Oh I know we are all fluid! while gays get killed

Now we are comparing sexulity like ice cream i see!

while the gays either commit suicide or get beaten up


or even killed

but its okay for two lesbians to *beep* not two gay guys


Like I said tom Daly didnt come out until he was comfortable being not BI but GAY he knew what he liked even though he lied to use the first time around!




reply

I compared it to ice cream because it was the simplest way I could explain a simple concept yet you're still not getting it. Maybe I should have gone with colours and shapes would that have been easier?

Also the reason gays are being treated this way is because of people don't believe it exists they just see it as straights with a mental disorder or people who are lying. Like the way you're discriminating against bisexuals now telling them they're identity is not genuine based on nothing more than a handful of celebrities it's quite shameful.

No it makes it easier for you to justify your bi

Yeah I know and having the trans pansexual asexuals blah blah is going to help!

when Evan Rachel wood cant decide on who she is going to love?

was it any surprise why Rachel would bear Jamie Bell child and then go directly to another woman!


NO SURPRISE THERE!!


Well Because Bi people have it the easiet!


reply

Never said or gave any indications I was Bi once again you're making unfounded accusations.

Doesn't matter if it 'helps' they not going to not exist to make the world easier for you.

And how do Bi people have it easier they get their own brand of discrimination from people like you.
