There's a thing called "bisexual heteroromantic" :)
It means that you're sexually attracted to men and women, but only emotionally attracted to men. Also, I understand how you feel. Sometimes I think that certain gays and lesbians assume the other letters in LGBTQIA are just for decoration or something...
@NimbusDX Make sure you take a look at "bigotry in the LGBT community" & "straight as a rainbow" one is by a bisexual and one by an Asexual. They go into detail about the "community support" for sexual minorities. Thanks for the good comment.
i need advice....i'm a completly straight guy dating a bisexual girl, before we started dating we were friends and we talked about everything and i asked her out but she wasnt ready for a relationship due to her bad break up with her gf, after a couple of monthes she gave me a chance but said she likes girls btr, its been 7monthes since then, im only 14 (1month away from 15 and we have had sex alrdy) should i be worried that she might everntually drop me off for a girl any advice?
@hokiesrock1 First off, I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with that. To be honest, I think you should just ask her how she feels and let her know that you care about where she sees you two going. If it turns out that she's just dating you because she can't find anyone she likes better (or for some other reason that you don't like), I think it'd be best if you found someone who truly cares about you. But if she really does like you, I wish you both the very best. Hope I helped. :)
The Kinsey Scale really denotes gender identity more than sexuality, though it's really quite useful to know where you sit relative to a few people's value systems.
Still I've heard this "Either Or" line from religious fundamentalists and the gay community and I'm sick of the bigotry! Where do these people get off telling someone that their experiences are invalid when they have no more authority than their own?!
This is pretty common among bisexual women from my experience and unfortunately the "you're either one or the other" attitude isn't exactly rare either. Bisexual is a good enough label I think.
I don't think dichotomous sexual categories are in the final analysis adequate They are social constructs The guy that said you're either one or the other is speaking from an identity that gay men have constructed in the face of a hostile society What he means is You're either one of us or one of them It's the same for straight men; Real Man;- All or Nothing
In the Dispossessed Ursula LeGuin speaks of people being Mostly Heterosexual or Mostly Homosexual I find this a more productive approach
I had a friend like you. He was only emotionally attracted to women, but physically attracted to men and women. He considered himself heteroflexible. He said it means he could only fall in love with the opposite sex but was open to sleeping with the same sex.

@belfastfreethinker We agree that sexuality has a fluid range rather than a hard line definition.

Bisexual, heteroromantic. Labels and language always fall short of the actual experience, but the Kinsey is pretty good
