Look at it this way.  Bisexual people love everyone.

You can be Bisexual. It makes the decision a lot easier.

Sounds like YOU think so...........personally I think it's gross to be bi.......be homo or hetero.  Being bi is like being a cat....they will rub up against anything for attention.

He's had experience with another guy?? Doesn't that make him bi? Anyways..if someone is comfortable with their own sexuality why do they care what sexual orientation another is?

Its happened to before, and ive done it before. When I did it it was a time in my life when I hadnt accepted my homosexuality, and considered my self Bi but to my freinds i was straigh, Did it to protect my identity. After i came out, and guys try that shiznit, it was easy to see through. Or they are cheating and if you saw them out elswhere and called them by the wrong name they gave you they can play that off as youve got the wrong person kind of thing.

Straight boys aren't bi.  Bi boys are bi.

Maybe they are curious about that type of lifestyle or bi-sexual.

I'm straight, and I don't think it's a choice.\n\nStraight people are the ones saying this because they're not actually gay, thus, they don't actually know jackshit about it. Gay people KNOW that they were born gay.

Being a caring person doesn't mean you are gay. You are gay if you want to have sex with other guys. If you want to have sex with other guys but also want to have sex with girls you are bi.

You're right. People are too black-and-white about sexuality. They don't accept anything in between - either someone is straight and would not even want to touch someone of the same sex or someone is gay and would not even want to touch someone of the opposite sex. Reality is, of course, far more complex than that. We spend too much time defining what people are and too little time trying to understand who they are.\n\nI think the lesson here is that we probably should go to people we care about - and not the masses on Y!A - when we genuinely need advice!

Same reason other people like being straight.  It's being who you are that makes you happy.

Men do not GO gay. Homosexuals are born that way. There are no more or less homsexuals living in this world then there were 100 years ago. They are in all countries. People just had to hide their sexual preferences a long time ago but thanks to a wider understanding of homosexuality, most no longer have to keep it a secret. It's 'out of the closet'.

Yeah why not being bisexual does mean that they enjoy sex with both sexes!!

I am not lesbian or bi... I think that one of the possible reasons that people are so down on bi women is that unlike lesbians, it has been considered cool, hot and sexy by mainstream media, even so much so that some girls would claim that they are bi for the extra attention that they could receive from males... On the other hand, the lesbian/gay community has been marginalized to a point where a person that could be seen as a 'fence-sitter' (even if that's not the case) would not be accepted fully by the lesbian/gay community, especially when it is more acceptable to be bi than to be gay. Within the straight community, I think we've seen a media-induced increase of bi-sexual girls, many who return to straightness when the novelty wears off, so a truly bisexual woman would be taken less seriously due to the other girls going through 'a phase'.

Some are born gay, some straight, some bi.  Your sexual orientation is quite often NOT black and white but shades of gray.  Try not to pigeonhole people in one role.  Children, teenagers and adults are what they are, take it or leave it.

Because people fail to understand being gay is who we are.\n\nWhu are people straight?\nWhy are people people?

I think people forgot the whole "everyone is beautiful in their own way"\n\nI think a bi guy is just as sexy as a straight guy, or full gay guy, or girls for that matter, sexual preference should have nothing to do with how you feel about a person.\n\npeople are just ignorant and refuse to see the world is changing...oh well, they'll just have to get used to it :)
