One thing I have never quite understood is the discrimination against bisexuals.
I would understand that straight people would be just as opposed to it as they are to homosexuals but when someone who is gay discriminates, there is something wrong.
They hold that middle ground, and they are continually being labeled as confused or desperate for attention. Both homosexuals and heterosexuals feel that bisexual people must "pick a team" so to speak.
As a bisexual myself I have faced many reactions to my orientation. One of which is "when you find out you liked girls?" Umm. I just didn't find out, I’ve known for years. Also, since I have been in a relationship with a guy for over a year, people are under the misconception that he has turned me straight. Once again, no. I just don't chose the person I love based on gender, just how I do not choose my partner based on race or religion.
The other thing that I have a problem with is when girls pretend that they are bisexual in order to get attention from guys because they think that it is hot. It is offensive because they are almost mocking people who have to deal with the consequences of being attracted to guys and girls.
Well that’s all for now.

I don't understand what the big deal is with respect to "Pick a team!".
Honestly, why does everything have to be so black and white?
Gray areas are common.
And sexuality is definitely a gray area.
Everyone is bisexual in a sense. Personally I like bisexual girls because they are comfortable with their sexuality, while yes it is hot, I prefer that they are able to appreciate both sexes. I myself am straight with a tendency to sometimes think about guys, but never in a sexual sense, but it all shows me that everyone is bisexual to a degree.
I think more men are than admit it, but they are just too scared to sacrifice a little machoness.

Look how people treat gay men. Why would a "straight" guy admit to having male on male fantasies admit to it and subject himself to that kind of ridicule? If you betray the club by making men sexual objects, you will be shunned. Only women get the joy of being treated as sexual objects. Men have to remain the objectify-ers.

Its also annoying...i've dealt with a few pretenders before. I just dont understand it. Most recently is this chick that i dont think is a homo at all...but says she is because she has no personality. I guess thats a little off subject but.....i dunno maybe i'll start my own on that one.

I definately recommend Kinsey: Let's Talk About Sex (the movie) and all of Kinsey's books on the subject of sexuality. He believed that everyone was bisexual to a degree, some leaning more one way to another. I completely agree.
I never told anyone in high school my orientation because all I ever heard them say to the girls who came out as bisexual was "yeah....sure you are" and the whole "pick a side" or worse yet "so you just want to sleep with anything". I didn't want to be labeled with such horrific concepts.
Of course, sadly most of those girls did end up being pretenders who wanted the attention of being "different" and I think others knew it, which is why they got some of the less kind judgments. After high school I did come out to my friends (a mix of all sexualities) and they were very accepting thankfully. Apparently I had never showed up on gay-dar so they were relatively surprised, but now they accept that I "play for both teams".
I guess no matter how discriminated someone may be, they may still be intolerant to others who are different.
Think about it...

Everyone that knows about me figured as much when we were still in highschool. Its weird though because i didnt accept the fact that i was attracted to women until after then. I'd never touched one or anything, but i've been called a "dyke" since i was 12.

I've always compared sexual preferences to preferences in other things, though obviously it's not exactly the same. Some people prefer dating only blonds while others absolutely refuse to date blonds. Others don't care at all. Some prefer dating someone taller, others shorter, and others have a slight preference or no preference. I think preference, especially sexual preference, is dependent on the person and exists on a continuum and varies from individual to individual.
I completely agree. It's kinda like a scale of one-to-ten thing to me. Just because one sex gets more stars on the scale doesn't mean the other isn't great, too.

Except that the other is hairy and smells bad! Gross!
I guess I'm pretty far on one end of the scale.

There are some hairless, good-smelling guys out there. I've met some hairy, smelly girls before, too.

I'm talking more about pheromones, though. Men just smell sour to me. Even clean men. It's sort of repellent. Women, on the other hand... (Men, I mean no offense...I mean if you're a straight man and you hug a dude, do you breathe in his scent and think "nice," like you might when hugging a woman? It's the same thing).

Yay for love! Yay for grey areas! I don't think anyone should have to pick any team or force themselves to be something they are not.
