It kind of sounds like you're saying that everyone is bi until proven otherwise -- but that there's no way to sufficiently prove that you're not bi. You could go your entire life only being attracted to a single gender, but that doesn't mean that you might not also be attracted to the other gender as well, given the right circumstances.

I might be reading what you're saying completely wrong, but that's how it comes across to me. And it makes me really, really uncomfortable, because it puts an impossible standard on "gayness" and "straightness."

DA

I don't have a horse in this race, but personally, assuming everyone is bi is better than assuming everyone is straight. If we're going to make sexuality assumptions, and all.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but if someone says that they're straight, or that they're gay, then it's pretty dickish to be like "but that doesn't mean you're not bi."

[(Anonymous)]

Well, maybe that's reality? People who identify as one way or the other have "exceptions" sometimes. That's human sexuality. Many people who identify as straight never have same-sex attraction. But many do. Same with gay people. Human sexuality isn't going to follow a standard for "gayness" or "straightness" just because we want to put a neat little label on it.

But that's getting a bit out of the topic here. Fans can "fill in the blanks" however they want, or interpret certain dialogues certain ways, etc. It doesn't make it "wrong". Dean is shown being attracted to women, but he isn't shown saying "I am straight, I am not gay, I have never felt any attraction toward men" etc. Might as well be arguing about whether or not it's canon Dean has ear hair or something (not a fan of the show so I'm going to assume we don't know that) - it's not "canon" either way because it just isn't shown, and just because we don't see it doesn't mean it's impossible that he has it.

A lot of people do have exceptions, but I don't think having them completely changes your sexuality -- they wouldn't be called exceptions, otherwise.

You mention that sexuality isn't going to follow a standard. That's kind of what my issue is with with the airt was saying: it seems like it sets up a standard that no one can meet, unless they're willing to call themselves "bisexual."
