the new trend is to be bi- in my hs almost everyone was bi..Most of them said they were but never did anything with a guy/girl.. its sad that sexuality is a trend but whatever it is what it is

yeah like everyone is saying, being bi is definitely a trend nowadays. the xanga blogring "so what if we're gorgeous and bisexual" actually annoys me because it's such a call for attention.

I am gay, and my father believes i am doing it as a trend, im not.
I think the reason more people are coming out now, is becuase being gay is becoming more excpeted among peers, JSUT NOT SILLY CONSERVATIVES LIKE BUSH but thats why more people are comng out now-a-days. But being Bisexual seems to be a trend. |

I suppose, I think its just more accepting with the media and such. So more people may be coming out instead of fearing what others may think as much as perhaps in the past?
Although it is getting a little to much out there so perhaps it is just another stupid trend. People may just be confused since its so accepting that they may think that they will be accepted more if their gay instead of straight which is a little weird to think of.. |

QUOTE(Freaky Krazer @ Aug 3 2006, 2:06 PM)  Well it's either a new trend, or that more people are coming out. Ever since homosexuality started to be accepted (not that there's anything wrong with that), a lot of kids get so confused once they get hormones and think they're gay =x thats very true |

it sure seems like it. i have nothing against gays/lesbian/bisexuals, but still, its rather awkward seeing someone you know just suddenly come out.

I remember seeing a movie with my girlfriend once about these highschool kids and they have a "gay" group of people. One guy said he wasn't gay and everyone started to give him looks and they started to think he was weird. I don't know if this signifies anything. But I think people feel more comfortable coming out because many other people are.

It's a good thing more people are coming out if they truly are. Living a lie that way was never a fun thing.

I don't get it. What is the point in saying you are gay if you are not truely gay? It just seems meanigless since your not getting what you like.

From my observation, especially among college girls in my area, calling themselves bi is a trend. It's silly really, usually their answer when asked why they are bi is because "they get the best of both worlds". When I asked one of my friends, who calls herself bi, would she ever seriously date a girl in a monogamous, serious relationship, she laughed and said of course not, that her feelings toward woman are purely sexually driven and nothing more.

how is being gay a new "trend" in america? that makes no sense and i think that gay people would take offense to that. yeah, a lot of people might get confused during their teenage years about what their orientation is..but i dont think that they'd choose to be gay because "everyone's doing it" (which i doubt is true in the first place).

Yes.
People are starting to be more open-minded and/or ... becoming more "open" to the society to accept the facts. however, it's not always true when people claim to be one. which MOSTLY happens to teens due to "hormones"(sp?). |

That's the question I'lld love to know the answer to. What is SO hot in being gay? Do people just crave attention SO much that they'll actually stoop that low (lying about their sexuality). Where I live, Bisexuality is more accepted than homosexuality. I am bi, probably the first bisexual to say it out loud in my school. People don't mind, actually they think I'm straight. There was a metrosexual in my school, everyone thought he was gay, he had a really tough time. Why are things in America so different? |

QUOTE(Freaky Krazer @ Aug 3 2006, 1:09 PM) well last year in 8th grade, a lot of kids were like, "I'm bisexual" whenever they're in a crowd or something. But when they go to parties and see a gay couple in action (whether it be TV or ..real action) they go like, "eww" explain that That's excactly how it was at my school this past year. I swear, at least 4 of my friends "came out" and told everyone they were bi-sexual. 1 of them even took it back around the end of the year, which really told me something
