Philly-there are out bisexuals just as there are out gays. That should be proof enough they exist.
It's not about "believing in" them like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or little green men from Mars. Bisexuality is a FACT and there are lots of people who identify themselves as bi.

"I have been 100% with the way i feel about things. You don't see me telling people that they cannot have their opinions about things do you? If you don't like what i say, then stop entertaining it!!!!!"
The problem is, when you spout your opinion, people are going to question where your opinion comes from and, at least in this forum, take offense to it. You can't act surprised that people are wondering if you have anything but vague stories of friends who claim to be bi but then admit to other gays they're gay to back up this opinion (and that strikes me as just odd--I know very few guys who would somehow feel it would behoove them to publicly tell everyone they're bi. I do think that's a bit different for women, and of course it's different for gay men who tell themselves they're bi as a way of slowly coming out (which I did.)
But really, you need to back away from this "I AM ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPINION!" nonsense. It's not doing you any favours. I have the opinion that my cat is the best cat that has ever lived. However, I don't state that as being a fact.

"Okay then show me facts that bisexuals are real? How can one prove that what someone likes is real?"
Bisexuality has existed throughout human history! Even a cursory Google search brings up documentation of people engaging in sexual relationships with both genders dating back to Ancient Greece!
The fact that some confused 18-year-olds (you included in that "confused" group) at whatever school you go to end up identifying as gay/lesbian doesn't negate it.

It's really sad when the L/G members of the community shame the B members. I probably about a 6 on the Kinsey scale, but I have met people that are clearly all over the scale. Philly you are shaming people, that is what you are doing plain and simple. For a gay person to say "I don't believe bi people exist" is no worse than a right-winger saying homosexuality can be cured. You are making the world a less safe world for people to express their feelings about their sexuality. You are ignoring facts, and what people say they feel. Look at the information that people on this board are providing you with, expand your mind darling.

I am not confused at allllll. I am gay, and i have always accepted that however i do wish i was straight because there are so many gay sluts out there that make me look bad. Yea , there is truth in the sterotype
Kad, i can have sex with a girl, does that make it true that i am bi? boo
Lavie, i think people shouldn't be afraid to express how they feel regardless of what people say, thats like me on this thread.

All the gay sluts in the world couldn't do a better job at making you look bad than you're already doing, sweetheart.
And no, just having sex with a woman wouldn't make you bi. But if you desire sex with a woman, and are satisfied and aroused by sex with a woman, and seek out sex with a woman- then, yes. It would.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:14pmJust because the people you've been hanging out with are what you describe as sluts doesn't mean the whole group is like that. You really need help, man. I think you're a self-hating gay (those exist-I don't know if you believe in them or not).
#60Andy Mentius Interview: Very Revealing
Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:14pm
LOL @ Kad.
Philly, if you were straight I promise you there would be at least as many straight guys out there that somehow would make you "look bad," by your rationale. But yeah, it doesn't seem like you need a lot of help with that.

Oooooh, this chil' done need help.
I hope, one day, when your slutty gay ass is hanging around eating brunch and reminiscing about the 'dumb old days,' you'll be able to look back and be all, 'Sh*t...I was stupid. Like...real f*cking stupid.'
I hope that happens for you. Cause the alternative is just too terrible to think about.

"I am gay, and i have always accepted that however i do wish i was straight because there are so many gay sluts out there that make me look bad."
Slut shaming and sexuality shaming makes us all look bad.

Jesus freaking Christ, who cares if someone is sleeping with 5 people at a time as long as it's done safely?
You have a lot to learn about yourself. Take a gender and sexuality studies course. Read Judith Butler or Foucault or a big 'ol book of queer theory.
The world is a lot wider than your barely post-pubsecent self thinks.

Ive seen so many things in the last year to make opinions about things idc what you guys say

when I first watched this interview, I kind of hoped Andy was wrong that people needed to hear this stuff. But I guess he proved that people are still greatly misinformed.
I should have known better, though, having run an LGBT youth support site. But I always hope things are better than they seemingly are. Ack.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:19pmKad...stop trying to reason with her. The only way to be effective is to shame her into submission. My mother taught me that!

Here is new memoir "Fire Shut Up in My Bones," by Charles M. Blow.
There is a lot of bi-phobia and bi-erasure that exists in society, but I find it to be a tremendous distraction from living your life so I don't give any energy to that. ... I am who I am.

Well, as someone who finds herself somewhat attracted to both genders, I don't feel comfortable calling myself straight-up heterosexual or homosexual, because then I would be lying to myself.
Bisexuals exist, just as much as any other sexuality. I still don't understand how this is such a hard concept for people to grasp, ESPECIALLY those involved in the LGBT community who fight tooth and nail to gain equal rights for gay people. Don't sit there and demand equal respect for homosexuals if you're just going to turn around and treat those of a different sexuality with the same nastiness as some straight people treat you. That, my friends, is called being a hypocrite.

Elfuhbuh, no straight person treats me nasty because i don't treat anybody nasty. I am not a hypocrite lol

You can't explain anything to anyone. Not yet and not well. That's why you keep diverting the argument.
I'm sorry you dated an asshole. But that's life. And there's a lot more life left for you to lead and certainly a lot more for you to learn. And, unfortunately, "IT'S JUST MY OPINION." doesn't cut it in the real world.
"Elfuhbuh, no straight person treats me nasty because i don't treat anybody nasty. I am not a hypocrite lol"
Saying you "don't believe in.." someone's sexuality is the nastiest thing.
