Interview:
A discussion on bisexuality: is the term even relevent anymore?
This is for the bisexual part. I also don't tend to define myself as bisexual. In my area thats the word that describes the little teenage girls who want to impress all the boys. I usually tell people if I'm with a girl, I'm a lesbian. With a boy, Straight. So 90 percent of the time I'm a lesbian. LOL. It's really hard to find a guy that catches my eye. They are few and far between. I was with one man for 7 years and we had four children together but I think that now I could never do it agian. Thats my two cents. :)
I Agree Wit the comment Teri Posted Lil Girls in my Ares Always be like im BI,, to Try to Impress SOme ONe (being gay is cool) but yea i think Its Lesbian Or Str8 pick a side,, lol,, Yea thats wat i Wanted To Say!!
I think Mykea's comment is a perfect example that bisexual is the new gay, at least in the sense of being in the closet. If you are bisexual, straight people generally think you are actually gay, and gay people think you are actually gay. Neither recognizes the gray area that most of us really live in. I like the comments by the girl who preferred queer, but even that label is not very good. Queer has such a negative connotation among the "straight" community, even if gay people have embraced it. The reality is that we as a society are obsessed with binary views of any issue. Democrat/Republican, pro/anti-abortion/gun/war/environment/evolution, gay/straight. The most common belief among self-identifying gay and straight people about bisexuality is that it doesn't exist, you're one or the other. The truth is almost always in the gray area. How would you label a relationship where a man and woman's favorite sexual activities consisted of F on M strap on action and analingus? What about cuckold couples? What about people with fetishes that are largely about some object or thing unconnected to the gender of their partner, like piss play, smoking, crush, asphyxiation? What about furries? If nothing else, the internet has shown us that the range of what human beings are turned on by is endless. The next true sexual revolution will be when we realize this, and embrace it. The sad fact is that the gay community is in many ways as guilty as the straight community for this forced compartmentalization of sexual identity. Personally, if I had to identify as something, I'm just a freaky-deaky. And freaky-deaky's need love too.
