Not discriminated. But do I get crap from people? Yeah. It's not usually in a hateful way, just an ignorant way. Like straight friends who believe the myth that a bi woman is a nympho. Because if she likes more than one gender she must be sex-crazed, right? Or the belief that bi means I am willing to make out in front of a guy with a girl. Because if I like guys and gals I must be willing to do anything sexual in front of any gender of course.
And then there's the queer friends who tease me for not being gay or straight. For being confused, for playing for both teams, for sitting on the fence, for not picking a side, and on and on. They're just teasing, and I laugh right along with them because I find it funny. I'm all for irreverant comedy! :) But they do get their ideas for teasing me from some very popular myths in the queer community that bi women are just experimenting and therefore untrustworthy.
This isn't the most major issue in my life, though. Teasing with my queer friends is fun because it becomes a contest for who can make up the most creative slur. (I never win because I'm laughing too hard.) And I just educate the straight friends and move on. My sexual orientation makes up only a part of who I am. It is not my defining characteristic.
Eh, that's my two cents. But what do I know.

I have been punched in the face by a guy who was a bodybuilder for being a "fa**ott". Just one problem with that (aside from it being felonious assault!): I'm a heterosexual male - I just looked like the other guy. Because it happened in the guys living room, the police said they could do nothing, but I think that's B.S. I had long hair at the time, and I think they just didn't like long hairs and thought they were all druggies. That guy has no clue how lucky he is to be alive - I had a four inch surgical steel knife in my pocket. I totally forgot it was there, or I might be in prison and he might be very very dead right now. He's losing his hair and his wife is fat and stupid, so I have my revenge. And with all the steroids he probably took, he's probably dead from cancer by now anyway.
BTW: the police asked me if I was gay after I reported him. I told them no, but afterwards I thought "what the heck does that have to do with anything???" He assaulted me, unprovoked!

Yes and I think that when ever most people find someone difficult to understand they tend to get confused and the easiest way out of feeling confused about someone is simply to decide that they are confused.
I'm with a m\f couple and that confuses some people so they assume I'd confused not them.
Also I think most people have secrets about themselves and they keep them secrets because they are worried that people will think that they are confused and often those same people will accuse you of being confused.
Seems the who world is confused.
Though the least confused are those who are honest with themselves about who they are and honest to those around them. Though of coarse they run the greatest risk of being labelled as confused.
Is that clear?

Yup they sure have. Someone completely assumed that b/c I'm bisexual I'm automatically a cheater. Which is completely untrue it was an assumption made on the fact that I like both sexes and that I will always want to be with both and could never be with just one.

As a bisexual I'm constantly discriminated against be bigots. They claim that I can't be who I am, that I have to be either a Kinsey 0, who is physically incapable of responding to a man, or a Kinsey 7, who is physically incapable of responding to a woman. It is my nature to be monogamous, but I it doesn't matter to me with what gender of partner I am monogamous. I've learned to be comfortable with who I am, people who condemn bi-sexuality are not people whose condemnation would disturb me.

OK IM going to be very real right now and please dont take this personal. I dont believe in Bisexuality. From a male stand point anyway. I know most men are may be attracted on some level to women but they want a man and enjoy sex with a man more. Yet they choose to still see women or sleep with women because it puts them in a favorable social light. Its like if your gay your all messed up, but if your still sleeping with women you aint so messed up. And most of them will admit to like men better or prefer men. So I think in most cases if you like men more than women but still date women, your a homo who has some issue that you need to work on.
Now women are a puzzle. I never could figure out how they can switch form one to the other. For instance most of the homosexual or "bi-sexual") people I know were born that way and will honestly admit to it. BUt I know women who have be straight their whole life and to many bad relationships with men later, they are with a women and experimenting. Or one day decide they are bored and try women.
This behavior just like Bi sexuality leads people to believe we CHOOSE to be gay instead of being born that way. I and others have been fighting all my life to educate and tell people GAYS dont choose this they are born this way. And then you have people just screwing that all up by switching here and there and everywhere.

Wow! What self incriminating admissions and evidence here that people aren't "born" with predispositions to practice lascivious lifestyles but choose to and they are so confused that everyone else must be the ones who are really confused! This is really sad stuff. Why are you admitting such horrid things in broad daylight? Thanks for giving Christians the credit for being right about it being a choice! Now choose to leave this awful life behind in exchange for a life that glorifies Jesus Christ instead.
