Why the Myth about Bi's?

It is because many gay people (myself included) feel that it is easier to come out as bisexual first, because we would still be socially-accepted since we can still enjoy the "proper" sex. Then later on, we come out as gay/lesbian.

I feel bad about it now, especially with my bisexual friends, but it was just the best way I could figure out at the time.

EDIT: The reason I said that was because then other people believe that all people who say they are bi will one day come out on one side or the other.

Im bi, and I have met people, gay and straight, who say that you can't be bi. You are either one or the other. The straight people use the same arguement they use against the regular gay people. You know, the god hating us crap. The gay people ,however, tend to lean towards the half closeted approach. Still pretending, but wanting both worlds. Greedy. They are both wrong of course, but I suspect it had to do with raising by parents and jealousy. Bisexuals have the unique oppurtunity of choice. We can choose one or the other, by our own mind, not genes deciding for us. That is power. Power leads to jealousy amongst many. That is my theory at least. Cryptic right?

I'm bi, but since I accepted it I've found that I tend to like girls more than guys. But I still like guys' muscles and strength and deep voices. I'd be open to a relationship with someone of either gender, so I really think that bisexuality exists.

I'm sure there are *some* real bi people, but certainly *most* "bisexuals" are people who are unsure/experimenting or are just using it as a slightly more socially acceptable way of saying "gay".

It's certainly much less common than it would appear from the number of people who claim they're bisexual.

I didn't say anything.
