Is Bisexuality A Trend? - Comments

I know what you mean. I hate people who fake I mean, I came out and stuff. Then after I did, 5 people I was friends with faked being bi and "came out".

I think it is a trend. Lots of people seem to experiment when they're youthful or something, but eventually settle down with their true sexual preference.

I agree with what you said some times,
I know that some of the guys that join mibba here,
Might not be bi-sexual when they say they are...

I think some say they're "bi-sexual" to fit in on certain crowds,
Because most people find Bi-Sexuals really cool before knowing them,
So maybe that's why they do it?

I don't know,
Some are true and some are fake...

What does it matter? Someone's sexuality doesn't define them as a person.

I think people focus on it far too much.

I agree with Two Dollar Bill and what Billie Joe said.

Trend or not, people can be who they want to be. And if they want to love boys and girls, then I'm not gonna stop them. Good on them for going against the ye olde views that girls have to be with boys. I wish I were bisexual, but alas, I like p33n too much.

Heterosexual? Bisexual? Homosexual?

I don't think either of these exist. We're just sexual, period. We have preferences and outlines on what we would perceive to be the "perfect mate" based on our society and how we were raised. Sexuality is different for everyone.

To some, it's becoming a trend..
To most, it's not.

It's still a debate. I'm in the middle. Trend or not. Eh, we're all humans after all (:

Yeah, it's definetly a trend. Just like cutting is.

Hm. I agree partly with Two Dollar Bill, but at the same I kind of think it is kind of becoming a trend. Teenagers want to be rebellious and all that jazz, and so they go off and say they're bi just to be defiant or to "stick it to the man" or whatever. They don't seem to understand that they're not helping the LGBT community by just pretending to be bi, though.

I agree that everyone is a bit bi-curious, that in the end we're attracted to the person, no matter what the gender. But I think that people have limits, that they wouldn't date someone of the same gender except under extreme circumstances. Ever heard of the Kinsey scale? I believe that most of the world is around a 1.5 or a 2.

I really can't believe I'm quoting Billie Joe, because I do this so damn much, but I think he said it best:
"I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all."

I really do agree. I think everyone kinda thinks 'what if', 'maybe this', 'maybe that.' Not bisexual, but bi-curious. Maybe they're not... maybe some people do say it to be trendy, but I don't really think they do.

I think that it's simply that times are changing, and homosexuality/bisexuality is becoming more widely accepted, so more people are coming out and admitting it. However, there is still a stigma to it, which is why I don't think it's a trend. There will still be backlash to it, and the possibility of being shunned or treated like shit because of it.

Why that would be a trend is beyond me.
