Like in Glengary-Glennross when Al Pacino says "we're all a little bit queer." I think Kinsey also concluded this too. Just wondering if people believe this. I don't get it.

No, Kinsey did not conclude that everyone is a bit gay. He concluded that there is a scale of sexuality, from 0 to 6, with 0 being 100% straight and 6 being 100% gay. Everyone falls somewhere on the line, and therefore some people are absolutely gay and some are absolutely straight. Others are somewhere on the scale, whether that's bisexual, mostly gay with some straight attractions or mostly straight with some gay attractions. However, it only matters as much as you make it matter and for the most part, people really don't give a damn.

Al Pacino was not referring to people being gay but being odd - Queer was another word for odd same as in the 1920s and 1930's being happy an gay was not about being happy and homosexual but in fact happy and bright - happy and endearing. No I think that for most people they are one or the other

No. That basically saying that everyone is bisexual. To say that is to ignorantly and illogically dismiss the fact that many people out their are actually 100% Straight or 100% Gay.
& although it's logical to keep in mind what the Kinsey scale concludes, it's foolish to believe it as absolute fact. Until you can prove scientifically what everyone sexuality really is, you don't truly know just what percentage of the population is Bisexual. & you have to see the big picture to truly understand it because there are some complications that people misunderstand.
Example: I'm straight. But I'm not attracted to ALL women, ONLY FEMININE women. I even find very rare guys who naturally look & act like feminine women to be attractive, but I see them only as women, & since they're guys, I would never actually be with them. Ofcourse most straight guys would never admit they find some guys who can easily be mistaken for pretty girls, attractive for fear of being seen as gay/bi, when their straight. But if your a straight guy, femininity is what your attracted to regardless, only that true females are the ones you desire to sleep with. Most people get confused by hearing that, and figure you a little bi if you find someone of the same sex attractive. In actuality, liking what appears to be a pretty female is different than actually wanting to be with that person. There are many vague areas in sexuality thats similar to this that people get confused by and deem you one sexuality or another without ever truly knowing what you desire.
Bisexual means you actually want to be with both guys AND girls sexually, & you like guys because of their masculinity qualities, and girls for femininity qualities.
So no, not everyone is a little bit gay.

It's a continuum, dude, a range of possibility. I agree because we can be gay or straight enough to believe members of one gender or another are attractive, and how we decide to act on that understanding is what makes us what we are. I think that if you can honestly, within the deep parts of your mind, look at another person of your sex and ask if you find that person sexy and attractive and try to be honest about the answer, without inner voices yelling your own insecurities in your head, then that's what is real. Lying to yourself is easy.

I don't think so. If that were true wouldn't everybody also be a little straight? You love who you love we're all the same, we just find different people attractive

I can't speak for everyone, but I am and a lot of straight people I know are too. Also, I have gay friends who are a little bit straight too. and then those who are flat out bi. I do believe it is a continum. (Even if I can't spell it!)

I tend to believe in the sliding scale of gender preferences. So yes!

LOL.. Yes I think so!
Also, homophobics are more likely to be gay..
And,people that make fun of gays a lot,that have a fascination about laughing at them,makes them afraid..a homophobic,which all comes down to being in the closet.

I think that most/all men like gay sex but if your hetro-sexual then you like it with the opposite sex. Same with women. As for all men being alittle gay Nope but just liking the same act. Hope Ive put that politely.

I think we all have fantasies and desires at the subconscious level at the very least. Some peoples' desires and fantasies are only at the subconscious level, and other peoples' are the dominant mindset, if that was what you were asking.
