Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's more or less people who are bi, but it still applies to homosexuals as well.

rolleyes I'm not sure about where all of you are from, but everywhere I turn, supposedly new "bi" and "homo" kids are coming out. I'm actually seeing a lot of it in the girls more than the guys though. It's like Being a homo/bi is the new black!

On a normal basis, this wouldn't bother me; Everyone has the right to come out if they're that way. But I know that most these people aren't and they're doing it to get attention and/or gain a better status. WHY?!?!?

It's just like that south park episode with all the dad's becoming metrosexual because they watched 'queer eyes for the straight guy" show or whatever it's called. And the teacher was all upset because none of them were really gay.

Does anyone else find this disturbing or is it just me? First it started with guys wearing eye liner and now this?!? I refuse to be on the same level as a celebrities' perfume bottle that goes out of style within a month! If you're straight, be straight. If not, go flame and do what you like but don't do it for the social status! talk2hand

That's what I mean! Man, you should see the explosion of supposedly bisexuals, especially in the younger crowd such as highschool freshmen. The people I use to hang out with have all suddenly burst out that they're all gay/dikes/ or that they're bi. rolleyes Since when has our generation been so opened to us?

Ah..the rainbow....

You know, I remember a time when NO ONE would be caught near anything with that many colors unless they were under age 10. Now you can't go anywhere without seeing it.

I don't wear rainbow stuff just because I look gay (no pun intended) in it. But a while back, when I was dating this guy, he bought me this earing. It looked awsome and it was neon rainbow colors. I only have my right ear pierced. I went to school and all these supposedly bi/gay/dike kids came up and were all like, "yeah, man. Gay pride"

I stood there like....yeah.... stare "right..." It wasn't even a week afterwards that they all came out with the rainbow wear. From plastic rainbow rings to the whole "i kiss guys and girls" patches... I'm sick of it.

I refuse to let my sexuality be called a trend !!

A bit more on your comment Zeke (CAD reference, I wonder?), the whole pride movement in general pisses me off for two big reasons. First off, there's the whole trying-to-be-normal type goal. I mean, the overall goal of the gay pride movement is acceptance. So, in order to be accepted, they dance through the streets wearing rainbow, vinyll, S&N gear and singing, "It's Raining Men" (I agree with 2 on this one, so you'll probably notice a similarity in phrasing). It just doesn't make sense. Then there's the whole bitching about getting beaten up for being gay. I, myself, have faced some violence because of my sexuality, as have many of my friends. However, it was a fairly minor deal because we don't flaunt our sexuality. But when someone walks in dressed up in full drag and bitching about how they got the s**t kicked out of them, I just can't help but think how dumb they are. I mean, my sexuality is an aspect of my personality. But it isn't the entirety of my personality. It seems to me that a lot of people think that if you're gay, you should devote every passing second to shoving it in everyone else's face. That annoys me, so I refuse to be part of it. The way I see it, my sexuality is only common knowledge for two people - me and my lover. Beyond that, the world just doesn't need to know because it shouldn't matter.

In reference to the gay pride movement... I don't see why they're trying so hard to stand out. I've been gay for a long time and I've never felt the need to show out. Yeah, I was given quite a bit of grief when I was younger but I soon learned to stick up for myself (I love gyms) and no one says anything to me about it anymore. Not to mention those who feel the need to fall under the stereotypical gay guy: feminine sounding voice, ditzy, fashion obsessed, a sassy. Then there's that damn rainbow...ugh...

I'm just tired of people thinking being bi or a homosexual is the "in" thing this year. Why they assume it will boost their social status, I don't know. I really cant stand those who pretend to be bi and then become offended when you call them out on it. "What the hell are you talking about? Yeah, I like boys and girls. I'm bi so get over it!" That was one girl ended up telling me when I made a comment on her whole 'i'm hot because I'm bi' deal.

sweatdrop i came out my freshman year but i had been bi since i was seven or at least i think....

i came out in highschool because there were others who had come out too and i felt safe to say it. As for the bisexual trend thing, i think most girls that are bi do it for fun and a lot of the girls i know that say they are bi have never even had sex with a boy or girl to know what it is like anyway so they almost can't be.

I've noticed that alot too, now apparently the emo people absolutley have to be bisexual at the very least eek its kind of odd and wierd and I'm almost sickened by the fact that people thing sexual orientation is trendy now.
