¡We can no longer be a bunch of empty minds living in critical times refusing to recognize real lies!

¿WHY ID @ ALL?



If you were to visit anyone of the social networking sites that are geared towards men seeking men (BGC/A4A etc.), you noticed that quite a number of persons on those sites list their SEXUAL IDENTITY as BISEXUAL. Now I have no problem with a man stating who is and what he is all about, but I do wonder about the ones that say they are BISEXUAL when they haven’t been with the opposite sex in God knows how many years. Moreover a lot of them express that they have NO desire to be with a female, but continue identifying as bisexual. So I can’t help but wonder why would they identify as BISEXUAL instead of GAY?

Why does this behavior exist?

Is it more socially acceptable to identify as BISEXUAL, or is it ones way of staying connected to the heterosexual lifestyle?

Is it easier to lie to ones self; making it easier to lie to those around you?

In this age of sexual openness why keep up the lie, and give the people around you the misconception of being something you no longer are?

  1. Excellent post, and you've hit the nail on the head as usual. I have a few friends who insist they're bisexual.

    The lies people tell themselves.

  2. You've taken the words right out of my mouth with this one lol. I think I have an unfinished draft post about something similar to this.
    I think they hang on to bisexual because to the outside world there's still hope for bi people. There's a chance they'll find that "special someone" and that someone will be of the opposite sex, then they'll get married and the persons homosexual past will be dead and gone. When the person knows damn well the last time they had sex was when they were in junior high and it was the 'cool' thing to do.

    Another thing I don't understand is the guys who identify themselves as Straight on gay oriented sites. (I don't go on a4a but I do notice this a lot on BGC) Like it's understandable if someone is in the closet to their friends and family, but it's a gay site. No matter if they put gay/straight/or bi it doesn't change the fact that the main point of the site is for men to find and hook up and get to know other gay/bi men. It's not like their friends and family would go snooping on the site and see him on there and say "Oh it says here that he's straight, he's just really open minded and wants to be friends with everyone." Nobody is that dumb.

  4. What's more sad than the fact that these people are lying to other people about it, is the fact that they continue to lie to themselves.

    I'm perfectly fine with people using the identity of bisexual as a stepping stone to soften the blow of the realization that they're gay, it's just troublesome that they'd put themselves through so much more complications than just coming to terms with the truth.
