Ive already said a bunch of times i accept everyone no matter what

But.... you don't accept facts.

[Liza's Headband]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:10pm

Except for bi-sexuals. You do not accept bi-sexuals because they do not exist, apparently. Is that right?

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:13pm

I accept that everybody is different. I wouldn't be rude to someone just because they say they are bisexual, its really none of my business except theirs

[Liza's Headband]

You make it your business when you claim that what they believe, and feel, isn't real.

There is no way you are homosexual. There's simply no way.

Unfortunately, Philly is hardly alone amongst gay men in the opinion that bisexuality is illegitimate.

But he 'accepts' the delusional sexuality they have adopted, until they realize they're really gay.

The only bi-sexual men I have met are the ones I have had sex with and then[they] went home to 'the wife'. Their choice, but thank God they exist otherwise I would would not have been able to have such an extravagant lifestyle for all those years.

'Unfortunately, Philly is hardly alone amongst gay men in the opinion that bisexuality is illegitimate.'

Truth. But the absolutely idiotic thought-process that he's displaying may be entirely singular.

Well said, Robbie.

"Unfortunately, Philly is hardly alone amongst gay men in the opinion that bisexuality is illegitimate. "

Alone amongst many men and women in general. I certainly have known a few women who have made statements that they would never date a bisexual guy because he was more likely just gay (I've blocked out most of Sex and the City over the years, but didn't Carrie have the same problem dating some bi guy? )

Phillypinto keeps dropping inane nuggets about his personal life (as if creating a character), repeats the same dumb argument ad nauseum, has an aversion to capitalizing letters, is a cretin...all signs of a troll, no?

I probably suffer from troll paranoia, but it's a comforting thought to think s/he mightn't exist after all.

PS. Eric, are you thinking of Ally McBeal? The bi guy was a judge played by the rather lovely Mark Feurstein.

[Sutton Ross]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:49pm

Yes, Eric, Carrie couldn't really understand his lifestyle, and the fact that he was married to a woman, and was with a man for years as well. It can be confusing to people, and I know a few women that would never date a man who was attracted to other men because "they couldn't compete" and "couldn't give them everything they need."

Ugh, that is a truly AWFUL episode. Carrie freaked out when she found out her man of the week was bi. And then she abandoned him after having to kiss a girl on the cheek while playing spin the bottle. The implication of the episode was that bisexuality was immature.

Jay-Lerner -- Hrmm that sounds vaguely familiar (i'm not shocked Ally McBeal would have a similar episode,) but I'm pretty sure I was thinking of Carrie and Sex and the City. Found it--he was played by Eddie Cahill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7CI6gDkFPg

Oh ,okay, now I get it. I understand why a thead about little Andy Mentius was getting so much clickage and commentary. Cause I was really confused...

Oops, my bad - it did happen in Ally McBeal too, though. She dated a bisexual judge, which of course didn't end well. I found a little transcript :

Ally Mcbeal – I suppose I associate a lifestyle of promiscuity with bisexuality.
It may not be fair, but I do. I suppose I’m, I’m insecure that a bisexual man has sexual needs that I can’t fulfill. I suppose I’d like to think of my husband taking my son to a ball game and, and not having to worry whether daddy is checking out the pitcher’s glutes.

I, I suppose I’m, I’m nervous about my kids being teased because of their father’s sexual nature. I suppose I’m, I’m worried about diseases. I suppose, in the end, I’m far more homophobic than I ever imagined.

...

Judge Hammond – As for your concern over promiscuity — when any person gets married, he or she pledges fidelity. For you to assume a bisexual person is less able to be monogamous — that is a prejudice. As for taking my son to a ball game — well, if your straight husband took your daughter to a women’s basketball game, and you were concerned about daddy checking out the point guard’s glutes; you’d have issues to work on with your husband, straight or not.

As for your fears of your kids being teased –that’s cowardice. Your fears of disease –that is ignorance, bias, take your pick. As for your all too comfortable resignation to being homophobic without the will to root out the why or the compulsion to address it — that’s as sad as it is inexcusable.

I think everyone put in a worthy effort, but should we call it a day and end feeding time for the troll?

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 4:22pm

That Ally quote was longer and more irrelevant than I'd imagined, so um, yeah.

[nsguy45]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 4:24pm

It's a shame and more than a little sad that gay men in 2014 still feel it necessary to hide behind the label of bisexual, or involve themselves in bearded marriages. If a gay man can only have sex to completion with a female while thinking of another male, then they're gay, not bi.

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 10/7/14 at 4:28pm

LOL horsetears, you're the troll for saying that to someone you don't agree with. No class at all.

nsguy45, yea its really sad

"If a gay man can only have sex to completion with a female while thinking of another male, then they're gay, not bi."

WHERE has ANYONE said that bisexual men need to do that?
