Re: I gotta rant a little

[(Anonymous)]

That is true. But I wish it wasn't the default assumption that someone who's bi must be closeted or experimenting. It really is just better not to assume at all, and if someone tells you* what their orientation is, then goodness, respect what they're telling you and don't try to tell them they're really something else!

*You being general you, ofc, not you personally.

Oh definitely. There are times that argument is used for shitty reasons.

Honestly the times when I really want to scream, "Not everyone is out of the closet!" is when people insist that a character must be straight because they're only ever express attraction to the opposite sex. I wouldn't claim there's evidence that they're gay or bi or whatever, but it insist that they're straight ignores the reality of what being anything other than straight is like for a lot of people.

I just get really annoyed at people insisting that a character (or occasionally a real historical person, which really pisses me off when they ignore what the person said about themselves) must be a certain orientation.

Which is getting off topic from the bi issue, so my apologies.

"but it insist that they're straight ignores the reality of what being anything other than straight is like for a lot of people."

That's very true and an excellent point.

Also, I think all of this is still relevant to the bi issue, because of all the assumptions and misconceptions, and the idea that bisexuality doesn't really exist. A lot of people will insist a character that could be bi must be one or the other, just as people will insist a character that could be gay must be straight. And there are a lot of bi people, like me, who aren't open about it and are doing the whole "passing" thing.

Honestly, whether a person is bi, gay, or lesbian, not being straight can be way more complicated than it should be and than a lot of straight people realize.
