Because, if they do marry, they may either marry same or opposite sex...So maybe they really are gay, and they still want to be straight, or vice versa? I'm not sure, but that's what he says...

I am straight

Tell your older brother to not talk about things he knows nothing about.

What is wrong with choosing both? I like bacon for breakfast, and I also like sausage. Why should I choose one over the other? Am I confused for liking both on my plate at the same time?
There are 2 types of bisexuality. There is serial and parallel bisexuality. By "serial," I mean either a male or a female with this partner, and maybe male or female with the next partner should the relationship resolve. The "parallel" type may have a partner of each gender at the same time.
As for marriage, keep in mind that heterosexual marriages are still considered the gold standard by many people. The gay model is coming along. However, polygamory is still not accepted. So right now, bisexuals who marry have to use either the straight model or the gay model. So don't blame them if they have no appropriate model or precedent to use that truly and accurately reflects their nature.
Lets also consider the fact that the capacity to make satisfying love to members of either gender has nothing to do with promiscuity. It is just that most bisexuals allow themselves to have a larger repertoire than most other people. So they may still pick one partner for marriage like most people who marry, but they have a larger pool to draw upon up until that point.

First of all, what makes your brother *the* authority on bisexuality, anyways? The world is not black and white, and the universe is in multidues of gray for a reason. Also, I'm happy for those people who don't feel they should limit themselves, and I'm happy for those people who know exactly what they're looking for. Bisexuality doesn't make you confused, you're just more open to a more broad idea of love.
I don't know about you, but whether a person is straight/bi/gay shouldn't really matter, because unless you're interested in them, it doesn't affect you. So, don't worry about it.

No, we're not confused. A person can want to spend the rest of their life with one person that they're in love with, even if they are attracted to both sexes. That's a common misconception about bisexuals, that we're all promiscuous.
I'm bi, but I'm engaged to a guy. Doesn't mean I'm not attracted to women also. If I had never met him, I could have met a woman and fell in love her and been engaged to her. I love the person, not the sex.

You should read about the Kinsey Scal: I included it in the sources area. I'm bisexual myself, though I'm wavering between a 3 and a 4 on the Kinsey scale. (0-1 means str8, 2-4 means bi, 5-6 means gay)

Don't be silly. There is a spectrum of sexuality. Some people are hethero and that is it for them. Others are homo, and that is it for them. Others are somewhere in between.Think of it like this...
Hethero->bi-> homosexual. All points in between are normal. They are what they are, but there can be some confusion until you decide where you are in the spectrum. Hope that helps.- dd

I think bisexual people are just free spirits. They fall for the energy and personality of a person, not thier sex. With gays, whether or not their male/female plays a big part in whether or not their attracted with that person. With bisexuals, its like they couldn't care less. They're attracted to that person, period, and they're gonna go for it. Atleast, that's how I see it.

i am NOT confused. i think both guys and girls are hot. no question. i'm with a woman; i have only ever been with women (most straight guys are jerks). however that doesn't make me a 100% lesbian because i think guys are hot. i like gay porn. i think they are nice to look at. how could i call myself a complete lesbian? it would be an insult to all the lesbians like my gf who want to throw up a little if they see a man naked.

How about the person falls in love with who ever they fall in love with ... doesn't matter if they're male or female ... me personally ... I would never date or marry a woman ( too emotional if you ask me ) ... but I love being with them sexually ... I certainly know I'm not confused ... I enjoy having sex with both men & women ... how is that confusing ... lol ... !

Since your older brother is also confused, perhaps by his own reasoning he's also bisexual?
