    I've seen/read a lot of stuff about how some people within the LGBTQ community don't want to have relationships with those who identify as bisexual- something about "fence-sitting" or "looky-loos"

    What's your take?

    (i get that these articles don't represent the views of everyone, I'm just curious how "true" this is?)

    Personally, I would date a bisexual. I honestly don't understand why people think less of them. They're normal people who just like 2 genders.

    I wouldn't have a problem with being with a bisexual at all. As long as they like me and I like them, what their orientation is doesn't really matter to me.

    No problem at all. I don't see why I shouldn't be with someone bisexual.

    I don't really understand these threads. They seem more divisive than anything else, inviting people to weigh in on the "bisexuals are more likely to be unfaithful" and "I want a partner who can be fully satisfied with just me" stereotypes. I don't understand people who discriminate based on sexual orientation, but then, they don't understand me, either.

    My answer: Of course I would date a bisexual person; I'm bisexual and I know bisexuals are just individuals like everyone else.

    I don't see why it would matter but it seems like so many people feel it does, and I dont get why? EC is my only connection to the LGBTQ community right now, still learning...hope this post isn't inappropriate/offensive in that way? I never thought of it like that , being divisive... ooops... :eusa_doh:

    Nah, don't worry. It wasn't an attack on you Sweetberry, just me saying what I thought about the stereotypes. I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh. The post is not offensive; it invites responses which could be, but that's not your fault. And it is an interesting question. I would like to understand people who won't date bisexual people. I'm just not sure I can.

    Another thing to note is some people who identify themselves as bi-sexual could just be in a transition between sexualities, don't get me wrong this isn't always the case, but it happens

    @ Lyana, you didn't come off harsh- you just made me think. haha After I read your first line or two my first reaction was "oh no! what have i done? O_O " lol
    Yeah I don't understand it, I would think there wouldn't be a whole lot of judgement coming from within the community. I was actually rather surprised when I read it in an article (i think it was on a website called she-wired? it had like these comments as to why people wouldn't, and I guess i had to ask for myself? it just sounded too crazy).

    Of course! I'd date the :***: out of a bisexual lady. Not dating someone simply because they are bisexual is absurd.

    I don't see any issue with sexuality personally, but rather belief systems that can apply to anyone. The only time I wouldn't date a bisexual is if she either thinks 1) She's still a virgin after me because she hasn't touched a man yet or 2) She pulls the "All sexuality is fluid/we're all a little bit bi" garbage.

    I've had these issues with past bi women I dated, but It's also something other lesbians could do so I think It's dumb to generalize everyone.

    If I could help it (also includes pansexuals, queers, etc.)! I'm totally open to dating monosexuals, provided they're accepting and understanding of my own preferences and expressions.

    My first bf was bi and I sort of am too. Doesn't bother me in the least. I know a few gay guys who will only date bi guys.

    I'll date anyone I want to, if they also want to date me. I'm not going to do anything to make that group any smaller than it already is.

    Yeah why not. It's all about the person, right? At least for me it is.

    Totally. I might be more susceptible to jealousy with a bisexual guy though.

    I would be competing with boobs!

    I've dated a bi girl before and had no problems with it. I didn't understand her attraction to guys, but it didn't affect our relationship any less; in fact it strengthened it to me. I looked at it as out of all of her attractions she chose to be exclusive to me. The notion that people find bi and pans to be more promiscuous is just absurd. It's like saying because I find both ginger and blonde girls attractive that I can't stay loyal to just having one. So yeah...sorry for getting long winded, but outside of someones insecurities with the unknown I honestly don't see what the issue would be.
