Thanks for posting this, Tiff. It's like we're made to feel like we're not gay enough for lesbians and men only want to date us for a threesome.
 

Exactly... SO very frustrating. *bangs head against wall*
 

Hey Tiff,

Nice read. Well if that is what one is that is great! I'm all for whom people are... but why does sexuality have to be such an issue? People make too big a deal over it. Just be yourself regardless of your orientation... never mind what others think.

Nicely put! Thanks for sharing this with everyone - the stereotypes about bisexual people have such a huge impact, and they can be SO upsetting...I'm currently dating a bisexual woman, and having these stereotypes hurled at her...and at us...just gets frustrating.

I love how passionate you are about this issue - it's important that people wake up to reality, and you're a lovely and articulate way for that to happen! ;)
 

i had a friend of mine recently ask how i handle being labeled bisexual. she's only come to the realization that that's what she is (she's been identifying as a lesbian for years). i told her that i don't even think about it. i label myself bisexual for other people to have something to understand. however, i think you said once that sexuality is fluid. there really are no lines to cross, just waves to ride. people who are "afraid" of bisexuals are just afraid of themselves, afraid of what they might feel or experience if they just let go. of course homophobics are the same way.

we just have to stand strong and show people that we aren't these misconceptions. we are who we are and we love people for who they are and not what genitals they have.
 

thanks for posting this, tiff <33 it's something that's very hard for me to deal with too, both internally and regarding other people's opinions.
 

I went to Safeway the other day and while paying for my groceries the Courtesy Clerk asked, "Paper or plastic?"

"Either one is fine ... I'm biSACKsual."

Ba-dum-bum!

Seriously, in this town anyone who gives a hoot about someone else's sexuality needs to grow up.
 

like i told you on saturday, i agree with you, (even though i'm straight or maybe 15% bisexual, lol.)

i don't see why a person can't fall in love with a PERSON - whether they have a penis or vagina.
 

There is no accounting for personal taste. And we are all humans who can make our own decisions and do what you want to do.

But what makes all this so much worse above the discrimination from people, is from gov't.

Last I checked, from the gov'ts standpoint is there are people...who have rights. Then the "gays" who have some rights. I thought we were all people. People who could make our own decisions and do our own things. Live how we want to live.

What makes being straight better, more important or anything like that? Or even better question, what makes gays or bi people worse, less of a person or anything like that where we have to take rights away? Nothing that I know of thats for sure.
 

*hugs* I don't think you are faking or promiscuous or anything of the negative nature. And.. let me just throw this out there.. If I say that I wouldn't date a bisexual, it has nothing to do with anything but my own past problems. It's all to do with me and not you nor any other bisexual on the planet. I have and love my bisexual friends. It's to the same asset as me not preferring .. oh.. that's the word. Okay. it's not I wouldn't, it's that I'd prefer not to. lol. Your smartness rubs off on me. <3 okay, it's like me not preferring to date someone who is into gaming because it reminds me of my ex or something stupid like that. Yes, it's dumb, but I'm working towards it. I hope you understand.. cuz I don't want you to think I'm a bi basher or anything because I am not. I'm GLBTQ friendly. <3
 

I am totaly against bi's and lesbians, it has really nothing against them personally,but its the thought of basically a woman,who may get tired of a man,cause things may get hard in life at times as we all know,so they think they'll run to a woman,I totally understand,a woman,the smell,softness,and just playfull like two puppies who never stop,a woman can be a playmate for anyone,but to be bi and switch up and take a mans heart,is no joke,call me a pussy but it seriously fuckin hurts,I am not a person to run from pain but deal with everything that crosses my path,but honestly I wanted to run,run,run hard and far forever,but it didnt matter it is a pain within us and totally bugs the fuck outta me,from every opened eye to every closed one,dont take this the wrong way but please look at a mans point of view who wants nothing but to honestly love his woman and life out the rest of his life with her.
