I'm fucking appalled at that cushion. That shit's just fucking unnecessary.

[Flipperlikesdipper]

If I ever meet Stephen Fry, I will hug him and tell him 'You are fucking amazing!'

[Ahvaren]

Yes, but, like Nabend said, human sexuality is a lot more complex than just a binary (and bi) classification. If I had 10 relationships with men and 1 relationship with a woman, and while more men looked appealing to me only one woman every now and again looked appealing, I wouldn't think "bi" would be an accurate description, nor would "gay". It would be somewhere in between. If I were to describe it, I'd say "mostly homosexual"

You certainly can't change it, we can agree on that.

You are either attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex, or both, and you cannot do anything to change that.That's all i'm saying.

What? Comeplete bull shit. Of course there is a scale. I'd say I'm about 75% straight. Never had any real romantic or sexual feelings for a man, but I wouldn't rule it out. I don't think I would turn down David Tennant if he asked nicely, for example. There is every shade of grey between gay and straight.

I use swears liberally. The times I'm not cursing... Then shit've gotten real.

[anen2345]

I don't believe the bible...

[JAck Sprat]

go read your bible... i'm sure it makes more sense to you than reality

[DerOberstKrieger]

Yes, but what you said implies that bisexuals don't exist. As a bisexual I find bisexual erasure to be rather annoying, personally.

[dented42]

what? what isn't the case?

[ArtypNk]

I love swears... I find it's a really efficient way of expressing emotions. Like if I said: "I can't fucking wait for the QI K series to be aired". That shows you I'm actively waiting for it.
