I'm so sorry to hear this. *hugs* Stay strong man.

I saw that today and couldn't believe it.... Lostprophets was one of my favourite bands from when I was a teenager. It just sickens me how someone of such status and power could conspire and exploit the most vulnerable people on Earth. I too am glad that this received a lot of publicity because it really does bring awareness that pedophilia and rape is an issue that can be found in the unlikeliest of places.

That's really terrible to hear. I hope for the best.

that sounds about right

Lol I wouldn't know how to map out all the countries in Europe

Doesn't help me study actually lul. 1) Tritonal ft. Skyler Stonestreet - "Electric Glow" 2) Hardwell ft. Bright Lights - "Never Say Goodbye"

That was the worst thing I have ever watched in my life .___.

Yes, no homo

I totally agree with this, and I think in an ideal world labels wouldn't matter at all since sexuality can be so multifaceted. Unfortunately pretty everyone operates categorically and need labels to function in our modern society. LOL OKAY DUDE you need an outlet

The world needs more people like you Joann

I'm thinking homosexuality is just a easier concept to grasp because to heterosexuals it is heterosexuality... but like, reversed, lol. With bisexuality comes a whole host of uncertainty as well as the connotation that bisexuals are just more promiscuous. Wow Joanne that sounds like quite the journey. For me gender does matter when it comes to attraction on a superficial level, but who that person is is ultimately important. I think it's sad that anyone has to first come out as bi and later as gay, but I totally do understand that for some people, in some environments where coming out first as gay could be complete social suicide, that it is sometimes necessary. As a bisexual who experiences these adverse effects, I am actually not against their actions and I totally understand it. The problem lies within people who lump transitioning gays with bisexuals, and that includes heterosexuals and homosexuals alike. I can totally see that. It's interesting because I think biphobia is kind of a first world problem prevalent in environments where there IS established support for homosexuality, wherest in conservative societies bisexuals are able to experience straight privilege because homosexuals are so looked down upon. The problem is when I try to date a girl I can't really tell her I'm bisexual, because I'll likely be seen as a "transitioning gay" which is retarded.

I actually seriously considered just telling my mom that I was gay because it would've just been easier and she would've taken the fact that I liked guys easier too, but after some consideration I realized I was either gonna go big or go home. Exactly. People just need to be more open minded. Until you walk a mile in someone's shoes you usually aren't in a position to make quick judgments.

Hehe. I think the Kinsey scale is a very quick and simple way to show that sexuality isn't strictly categorical, but it doesn't take into account a lot of other sexual identities.

Disgusted cat is disgusted. Biphobia. What a strange word. So bisexuality actually never has been a huge topic of interest to me (ironic since I identify as bisexual), but since I've started to become more open about my preferences I've seem to be meeting more and more people who find the concept confusing, controversial, and even highly offensive. When I started dating, I was actually really surprised at the number of people who doubted the very existence of my sexuality. I've had to come out to my mom a total of 5 times as bisexual because she just could not grasp the concept (including tonight). Her beliefs fall in line with the many others that I have encountered who doubt the existence of bisexuality: 1) People who identify as bisexual use it as an excuse to get around. Many of these people are probably primarily straight, or gay, but would/could/like to sleep with members of the same/opposite gender, respectively. Thus, because bisexuality here is only a product of lust, it cannot be defined as a "true" sexuality. 2) People often come out as bisexual to reap the privileges of heterosexuality, when they are in fact homosexual. Bi now, gay later, because it's "easier." 3) People who are bisexual are constantly in a state of indecision -- they must eventually make the ultimate decision to be gay, or be straight, once they enter a relationship. Once someone gets into a relationship, they can't be bisexual because being bisexual means that you'll be constantly wanting things from the gender that you are not dating. So I'm gonna address each of these points from my perspective. 1) People who identify as bisexual use it as an excuse to get around. Because bisexuality here is only a product of lust, it cannot be defined as a "true" sexuality. I'm sure there are some guys out there who like to experiment but identify themselves as straight anyways. Sure whatever, gay it up in the locker room dude I don't really care, and I will believe that you are in fact straight/gay if you believe it too. If you're true to yourself, you can define your sexuality however the hell you want it to and no one should doubt you. So it becomes sort of a problem when someone who defines themselves as straight, says they're bisexual because it will get them more ass. I've honestly never really met someone like this, but I'm not going to deny their existence. And so, these people exist, but this is really a moot argument and belief, because just because there are some people out there who use bisexuality to get more sex, doesn't mean that everyone who identifies as bisexual do this. 2) People often come out as bisexual to reap the privileges of heterosexuality, when they are in fact homosexual. I can see where this comes into play. In some circumstances, it is easier to come out as bisexual because it means that you still have some "hope" to end up with someone of your opposite gender. Usually this is in conservative environments where straight privilege is more important. But it's not like that for a lot of people. Heterosexuals and homosexuals both often shun bisexuals because it's unfamiliar and misunderstood. It would have been much easier for me to come out to my mom as gay rather than bisexual, because bisexuality was a concept that she did not understand or accept. 3) People who are bisexual are constantly in a state of indecision -- they must eventually make the ultimate decision to be gay, or be straight, once they enter a relationship. Once someone gets into a relationship, they can't be bisexual because being bisexual means that you'll be constantly wanting things from the gender that you are not dating. I think a very common misconception of bisexuality is, what's that quote, "I realized I'm not bisexual, I'm just slutty!" Well, a lot of people who aren't bisexual are just as and just as not promiscuous. Someone's sexuality doesn't change when they get into a relationship, and if they want to sleep around while they're in a relationship... well, that's their sex drive talking. Their bisexuality is just a pointer that points them to both genders. I don't think most bisexuals are in a constant state of indecision. There are bisexuals who know exactly how much they are attracted to each gender. For me, it's always been a bit fluid. Sometimes I'll meet a guy I really like, and I'll feel like guys are all I like for awhile. Sometimes I'll find a girl that I really like, and I'll feel like I'll only ever be happy with a girl too. It's taken a long time for me to realize that my preferences change over time and situation, but I've always had the capacity to fall in love and lust with either gender. That's my own definition of bisexuality; there's nothing indecisive about that. LOL THIS IMAGE wtf I think I'm going to end it here. I was gonna make this blog super funny and shit but honestly I'm kinda tired of hearing people tell me that my sexuality just isn't valid. Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject!

oh god i get it DING DONG. huehuehue

LOL. I kept waiting for beyonce to show up with her krumping hipthrust dance moves

YOURE BACK OMGAR

I think it's a combination of both, but I'd say too that's it more of a trend thing. Either way it's good that I don't really hear that term being thrown around anymore either!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON <3

lol these discussions on GA... Nothing political, everything else goes. EVERYTHING ELSE

What the actual fuck LOL ^ there goes my lunch...

Open your eyes to the truth

No.. My philosophy is, for everyone: hold it in until it almost kills you, because that shit's just rude (pun intended). Or like, let it out bit by bit so the smell dilutes... and I can't believe I'm actually commenting on this thread, I have no life

What a brilliant idea! It could get featured in an art museum and auctioned off for $10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 And maybe lady gaga will wear it on her face.

Gonna put this in my list!
