Being Bi as a Fashion statement

[ll ChemicalCollision ll]

How do you guys feel about people that are Bi because they seem to think being multi-preferenced is the in thing right now?

I personally don't approve of this kind of thinking because of the fact that there are so many legitimately bi or gay people out there that have to face such an issue in coming to terms with the fact that they prefer either the same sex, or both sexes, and these people flippantly make a display about it like it's not big deal.

Now do I think those who are legitimately bi-curious and experimenting are in the wrong or course not. If you are seriously in question about your own sexuality and are not making a game of what you are doing I think it's completely and utterly acceptable to have some questions and want to act on them.

I also realize there is no real way to tell those who are legitimate and those who are doing it because it's the "in" thing to do.

But I digress, what do you guys think about this?
Opinions and Thoughts?

I agree with you that they shouldn't be doing that.
I don't know very much about the issue so I can't really say more.  

[Dagger1819]

Stupid.  

[ll ChemicalCollision ll]

I agree that it's stupid and I also don't think it's acceptable.
In my personal opinion I find it very disrespectful and upsetting actually.  

[ll ChemicalCollision ll]

Yeah, I hated girls that did it in high school.
Because I was there suffering silently and AGONIZING over the fact that I liked other girls.
But these girls were making out with each other and being so flippant at parties and stuff and it just made me so mad.
Because they were doing something I was afraid to be doing and they were doing it for ATTENTION...
It just pissed me off

XD

DO it like you mean it folks!

I hate that o_o
There was a random upsurge of people claiming to be bi with the whole upsurge of the rave scene and the whole 'scene' movement >>
And that's one of the reasons why the scene movement disgusts me so much

I wrote the many things that I wished for on the corner of a note
As the door was closed, and could not be opened at all

And notice that it's only girls. I think it's to get more guys.

Eventually I was left alone, unable to understand the ways of adults
As I thought, the world is still unchanged today

ugh.. people will do anything for forms of attention...
it was quite some time before i let myself acknowledge i wasn't just into female... was trying to hold onto the perceived "normal" of just the opposite gender to fit in. granted im still in the curious phase i supose due to not having any real experiences aside from stuff off the net/chat/pictures...so not sure if that counts...

for people to bluntly just act like it is giving me a bit of a headache... it just couldn't be that easy to come to terms...  

[C a r a m e l K i t t e h]

I find it really trashy when for instance two girls make out to get attention from guys. Do they even know how hard it is for LGBT's to get respect in their communities and then they do this as a slutty act. If I were LGBT I'd be really offended if someone did that for attention.
They call these girls barsexuals.Put alcohol in the mix and they make out with girls. ugh, direspectful  

[Dante_Sonata]

On the one hand... Yeah, it makes it harder for us who are legitimately bisexual to prove that it's not just a phase or a try for attention. But on the other hand...
Does it just go to show that homosexuality is becoming more accepted in mainstream society? If people are pretending to be homosexual, and getting positive attention from the act, that's support for our team, whether it's intended or not.
But I'm an optimist. That's how I like to see things.

I have a friend who's a lesbian... Or so she says. She's a nice person but kind of an... Attention whore sweatdrop I understand perfectly if people want to be Gay/Lesbian/Bi but you can't just decide, you're just born that way.
