As i've been watching a few programmes, reading and observing my life, it has struck me that more and more people claim to be bisexual, lots of celebs claim to be bisexual nowadays and loads of girls claim to be bisexual. Sometimes i think this is just an attention seeking move to impress guys that they will just get off with another girl infront of a guy just to arouse them
I think it's almost abusive of the actual term Bisexual!

muchly in the agreeingness am i. (IMG:http://www.queeryouth.org.uk/community/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
as much as people at my school are prejudiced against any LGBT people at all, i've also noticed that a large amount of celebrities have all of a sudden "become" bi all of a sudden.
i also know from personal experience that guys (or at least guys i know) become slightly more intesested once they know someone is bisexual...which could lead to more girls "becoming" bi...cause guys can be like "oh..she's bi..so she's easy" or "oh..she's bi...she'll make out with her girlfriend and let me watch/ join in"....which leads to negative stereotypes...
it's quite annoying.
there's my 2 cents....but i'm feeling a bit crap and i'm tired after 4 hours of non-stop drama with small and not-so-small children...so if it didn't make sense please disregard it....gah.....
peace ,love and all things bad to you groovy people from The Rainbow (that's me) (IMG:http://www.queeryouth.org.uk/community/html/emoticons/pride.gif)

Yeah one of my closest mates is in the closest Bisexual girl, there are loads of girls in her year who claim to be bisexual but they constantly have boyfriends. She is so scared about coming out and she really wants to because she knows that she will be generally bullied because she is one the lighter types of girl if you get what i'm saying.
But then again bisexuality isn't only an issue with girls but boys too. I'm bisexual but no one will believe me, if you like guys you must generally be GAY! Boys don't think it's possible to be bi, it kinda sucks when you try to have a civilized conversation!!

agreed totally. if I ever went out with a guy I'd get so many people going 'but you're gay!' and it's not funny...or anyone else's business.

yeh i don't know anyone in my school who's bi, more's the pity. there seem to be a fair few people who've snogged girls or pretended to be going out with one of their mates when in a club (usually to attract the attention of some guy) but no-one who identifies as bi. I have had a few people telling me bi people dont exist, to which i laugh because it amuses me to be told i dont exist.

I know two bi females (excluding myself) and one bi male. That have come out of the closest I mean. And in high school I knew two more bi's, one male and one female (but the male is now gay lol). But when I was in high school, bi-sexuality didn't seem to be the "craze" that it seems to be now. You were either gay or straight and that was the end of it. God help you if you were bisexual. That was just too much for their tiny brains to comprehand.

Totally agree - I'm 22 so it's about 7 years since I was in high school, (omg, that makes me feel really old!) and bisexuality wasn't as popular as it is now. Over the past few years it's become almost fashionable to be bi - although I think it's just amongst women...I don't see many guys running around telling everyone they like to sleep with men; how sexist is that?! Like having sex with women is ok because women are pretty and sapphic sex is glamourous and 'not actually sex' (yep, someone actually said that to me!) whereas sex with men is still wrong and icky (IMG:http://www.queeryouth.org.uk/community/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Honestly.
Anyway the point I'm making is that it really, really annoys me when seemingly every girl in the world is now bi (if that were true, I'd get a lot more action than am atm!) - it's the same with wicca - I'm a witch (sort of following a wicca-based path) and a couple of years ago it became really cool to call yourself wiccan/a witch (the two terms were interchangeable).
It was mostly the teen goth brigade that were running around proudly declaring themselves to be wiccans, only to drop the idea once the popularity waned again. Tres annoying...
Actually thinking about it, I got my bellybutton pierced about 8 years ago when it wasn't as popular, then it suddenly became 'the' thing to do and everyone was getting it done (which again, annoyed me immensely). Hmm...maybe I'm actually dead cool but just didn't know it!

I think my area must just be out of the loop because to be out as anything associated with "gay" = bad, at least at my school and the surrounding ones.
I'm truly bi and I've not come across any other bi girls at all, even "fake" ones (they must all be hiding from me! (IMG:http://www.queeryouth.org.uk/community/html/emoticons/cry.gif) )
My best friend's boyfriend is bi but he isn't out to his male friends, only a few of his girl ones...
However I agree that in the media there does seem to be a general "bi-girl crazy" phase... just not had any personal experience of it myself...

They 'claim' to be bisexual? That almost sounds like they're faking it...
Maybe bi/pan/polysexual individuals feel more comfortable coming out these days, or younger people feel safer experimenting. Then again I hate it when girls tease and say they're "bi" when all they'll do is kiss you and they have no romantic feelings towards women whatsoever.
I think a lot of young people should just be allowed to experiement, just don't bear any ciriticism to them... Those who are doing it for attention will only get bored then... And those who are too scared to come out because of biphobia will be happy and feel safer.

Well im a true bi, although i dont think im a normal bi lol as in sometimes i maybe like having no attraction what so ever towards guys and all over the women, and sometimes the reverse happens. Im hardly in a 50/50 mood, but what ive come to know about the outness of bi people from being in high skool is that, because bi people are more accepted in high schools than gay or lesbian people tend to say their bi to ease the outness and then go on to tell people their gay or lesbian. And it has become a trend to be bi, and its really lame tbh, cause i would have thought that it would be harder to find a bi person as to a gay or lesbian but practically everyone i know is bi.

Well when people at school found out i like girls they kinda assumed i was bi, because i did go out with a guy, but that was in the not-admitting-it-to-myself phase...
I dunno, i think it is more accepted in my school to be bi than gay.
What i thinks sad though, is that everyone thinks one of my friends is a bi-for-attention girl... but i talked to her about it and she's actually bi.

I so have to agree with this.
There's a huge amount of girls in my school who claim to be bi, but oh my, whats this? they're getting off infront of guys, and then getting with the guys. Hmmmmm.
Using it as an attraction thing to lure in guys?
I think so.

Ha I didnt even know there was such a thing as bisexual till I was about 12 or 13 (the moment it started to click!!!) and yeh Id agree that there is a general assumption that there's lots more bi girls but in all honesty....maybe just my sheltered life I don't know of many/any 'fake' bi girls but I doubt you'd find a 'fake' bi guy trying to turn the ladies on!! just a thought that came to me.... got a reminder of an episode of sugar rush series 1 where kim makes out with sugar and this guy is like oi are you two lesbians and oggling them...can we put even more annoyance onto the fake bisexuals and get irritated with them for making that behaviour more acceptable with their provocative snogs.....or should we just blame that on lesbian porn and lads mags! Eugh I may be male but arrogant male behaviour makes me want to SCREEEAAAMMM. hehe anyhow rant over.

The worst thing about being bi though is people telling you to make up your mind. For f***'s sake, I'm not straight, I'm not a lesbian, I'm bi. No, it's not a phase, no I'm not just trying to get attention, and no, it's not because I'm desperate (I'm really not). You'd think that having had girlfriends and boyfriends people would get the idea!
The one thing that I don't get though is when people think it's weird that I like girls, but won't accept that I find it weird that they don't.

i'm a true bi and i HATE fahsionable bis. Just when you think you stand a chance with a really hto girl who actually isnt bi but says she is and she laughs and says "im straight" it just kicks you right in the head!
it's with this new age of 'emo' every fricken emo seems to be 'bi' until u actually mention it to them and theyre suddenly straight as a freshly pressed ruler!

i think it would be easier for me if more people in my school said they were bi, or anything lgbt-wise. i dont think the school would be very supportive though its big on 'christian morals' and shit.
i know that loads of people have been/want to go to gay bars. which i find really weird...i mean...i want to go...but for a legitimate reason, lifes complicated enough without that. what are they going there fore...entertainment. perhaps theyre all just in the very VERY full closet.
