Re: You don't get it.
If you find yourself attracted to the same sex, you are gay. If you are also attracted to other things, you are STILL GAY.
​
Utterly bizarre. Perhaps this is how YOU define gay, but I'm fairly sure that the rest of the world doesn't.

Re: You don't get it.
How would you define "gay" in regards to "gay rights" or "gay marriage"?
​
I wouldn't. The word gay is not defined in terms of "rights". "gay marriage" is simply the marrying of two individuals of the same sex, irrespective of their own individual sexuality. There is, as far as I am aware, no test required to prove that one is gay before one is allowed to partake in gay marriage...
​
It's starting to become apparent that the people here who are really homophobic are the self described "bi"s who throw an absolute hissy fit if you dare to suggest they might be "gay".
​
I doubt it. I have often heard my gay friends speak of finally coming to terms that they were not bi, and were definitely gay; that they didn't have to pretend that they found women in any way sexually attractive. I found it fascinating myself how they would describe their revulsion to female genitalia as I would describe my revulsion to other males' genitalia.

Re: You don't get it.
I didn't even realize it was a "thing", let alone a common viewpoint, until this thread....
​
Me neither - Nuggin took me completely by surprise.

Re: You don't get it.
Does that mean that both of you are now gay?
​
Hey - I never said I enjoyed it!
​
You'll never know just how long I agonised over that post, knowing what a great double entendre I'd written, but unsure as to whether I should make anything of it - and then I remembered Kenneth Williams' imortal words

Re: You don't get it.
Actually, it comes from gays who have played at being bisexual and then later said "yeah, I was just fooling myself and trying to fit in".
​
Which is fine if that is what they did. But if they go on to claim that therefore, all self-claimed bisexuals are fooling themselves and just trying to fit in, then I will call them on their obvious bullshit. Gays can also be complete arseholes; straights don't have the monopoly. This really isn't rocket-science.

For me it was just a beautiful example of a couple of gay boys desperate to claim they were anything but while simultaneously proving my point that "it's all about me" is the (so called) "bi" mantra.
​
To the rest of us, it was you being fucking insulting and biggoted, and we have all called you on it. Your use of language and insuations mark you a complete homophobe, nevermind biphobe, whatever you claim. And given that I'm as boringly straight as you can get, I can assure you that this is as far from "all about me" as you can get.
