I absolutely hate when people say this. Why should you have to choose? You can like both cake and pie! You don't have to choice only one. Same with gender, you can appreciate the beauty of both the male and female bodies.

I get this from a lot of people also. However, I don't really like labels. They are often misconstrued and they force people into categories. Anyways, I often here the "gay or straight" line. I consider myself pan being that I don't care as long as I am in love with the person. I am happily engaged to a girl named, Ashley who is the world to be. She identifies more with bi but she likes only me and guys lol. It's odd and people think we are crazy. But it's whatever

I've had this happen, and I HATE IT SO MUCH! It's ridiculous and makes no sense.

I have people say that to me alot, I mean, i KNOW that i'm Bisexual, but they are always like "you must be mistaken, your either Gay, or straight, No in between" It makes me angry... Either that or i get the "Everyone your age is doing it, so you must be doing that too"....

This is why when people ask I say I'm not sure. I'm in a long term relationship with a straight man, but I've been with transgendered men and women, gay women, bisexual men and others who run the gamut of the spectrum.

People generally have a difficult time understanding that someone's sexuality doesn't fit neatly into a little box. If you're not already kink-inclined or open-minded about sex, you're likely not going to examine all aspects of sexuality, for some it's to the point of denying bisexuality or championing homophobia. Those people will be left in the dust we kick up! Educate and communicate, but don't take it personally. It's not about you, it's about a concept someone is having difficulty wrapping their brains around.

Heh. You'd think this would change in time but it doesn't, it may actually get worse. I've found that the 100%ers, either straight or gay, lose patience with bisexuals after a few relationships and usually set up a No Bi zone.
Because, as they say... a bisexual will leave you for twice as many people.

Personally, I think everyone needs to just stop identifying themselves all together. I feel the labels are where the root of the problem rest. It's all sex, weather it's with the opposite sex or the same. In ancient times, there was no gay, straight, bi, lesbian, ect. It was all "Do you like cock or cunt?" if someone switched between the two, no one cared. Those are the times we need to get back to.

I see it as not much different than political parties. I'm pro-choice and I support tough border laws and ID for welfare. What party do I sign up with? Where as someone else with my convictions would switch one of their beliefs because they feel they have to in order to have an identity or because of pressure from party members. This is why I'm also against political parties.

My cousin actually told me this, he doesn't know I'm bi, I laughed at it it later with my brother. But it seems a lot of people do think this way and I say just ignore them, I've tried to have this conversation with people before and it just isn't worth the time and the people usually aren't worth the effort either.
