Re: Sort of weird question...

I think it's because of the way it's seen by society.

If a straight person has one exception, they're seen as openminded and other people praise it... and most continue treating them like a typical straight person, "heteroflexible" is seen as a valid sexuality by most and "still hetero"

If a gay person has one exception, it's a huge deal and "proof" that gay people "just need to find the right oppositesexperson" and if they can do it, so can you!! And they aren't seen as "gay" any more

*"other people praise it" meaning other people in the lgbt group not society in general.

Yeah but I guess my question there is, how far do we have to go to work around the idiot fucking opinions of huge douchebags that no one should take seriously

I don't think this is even slightly the case? If a guy is 'open minded' even once he's considered a faggot, no ifs or buts. The number of people who woud continue to treat him as straight is minimal.

We're talking about amongst liberals, not amongst conservatives

That's why I added later that the lgbt community would see him as heteroflexible or openminded, not everyone in the world?

Depending on the community he could also been seen as gay in denial.

nayrt

I think you're both right? For guys especially, even being bi-curious tends to get them slapped with the gay label. By conservatives, liberals, whoever. Probably because there's such a disbelief with male bisexuality, as well as thousands of years of demonizing "sodomy" and anything related to it.

But there also DEFINITELY is a sense that if a gay (or even bi person) starts dating an opposite sex person, they are "going straight again". Even "being saved". It's an extremely pervasive stigma among all crowds, even LGBT crowds, today. I don't think people so much struggle with the concept that exceptions can exist, but in practice, people make massive judgments about others' sexualities.
