So don't think that just because I'm on "that side" of this discussion, that I believe all the stupid stuff that other people have said.

And since we're sharing...I'm also bisexual. Yay! I actually think that there are lots of bisexual people, but a lot of them just don't talk about it. And why should they? This gets me fired up on another issue, which is the LGBT lobby telling their "members" that they must "come out" for solidarity and whatnot. Bullshit. Only certain people in my life deserve to know. And don't even get me started on pride parades...
I mostly agree. I have told a few people about my sexuality, mostly because eventually it would come up. That's kind of a privilege as a bisexual though. Gay people are kind of forced to tell people, since lying all the time just sucks. People keep asking 'do you have a girlfriend?', it just puts a certain pressure on a person.
