I don't have homo friends or bi friends. I have my boyfriend. I have never got the opprtunity of being with a girl. I have heard that humans born bi and with the pass of tiem and the educaion they recieve from their families and the enviroment they decide if thay will be man or woman. It's a cultural aspect not only sexual. In my case I can't know if I'm bi because I vave never been with a woman. So ...

My friends cousin was Bi most of her life. She remembered being attracted to guys but she was also very close to her friend (also a female) when they were in middle school, so after college her and her friend moved in together and lived with one another for a year or two (sexual relationship). But a few years back, they broke up on really bad terms and she met a guy. They got together and were really happy. They got married last year and we asked her was she still kind of "bi" like did she still find other women attractive and she answered, I don't think I was really "bi" I just had a very close and we were really comfortable with each other, and I think it was because now, sociality is so accepting we just went with it.

LET'S ALL JUST COEXIST AND BE ONE MAN. WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.
Cultures are different, people are different, religions are different, don't judge me.
Let's all get around the camp fire and sing along.

Then the world would be a wonderful, magical place, with peace.

I don't get why people break up friendship over sexuality.
Your straight, your best friend is gay, so what.
Theres no problem with living with people that are different than you while respecting their different ways.
I have friends that are of different religion and background, a friend with a different sexual preference, to me is the same thing.
I'm not saying i agree with their ways and i like it, but i can respect their decision
It's not like i become a gay/lesbian if i have a gay/lesbian friend.
Funny not many has any problems with lesbians though, it's the blokes that cop it.

I have no problems with bisexuals, but I do with the poseur ones who say they're bi just so they can get in anyone's bed... ¬¬

It's probably the way I was bought up or something, but I feel uncomfortable around gays and as of now, I think I always will. I don't have any gay friends that I am close with, and as I stated before, because I am kind of uncomfortable around them, I doubt I will in the foreseeable future, but I don't have thing against them. I had a few gay friends that I would talk to in class and stuff, but that was about it, never one that I'd considered a close friend where we would just go and hang out and stuff like that. And AssasinXXX, you're right up to a point, I think when people think gay, most of the time, its a male acting very feminine, but when you think lesbian, you don't automatically think of a female acting very masculine. Instead, when the average person thinks lesbian, they still think of females who are still feminine but are just attracted to other females. If everyone thought of a lesbian as a female who is very masculine and/or changes their appearance to look like a male, then they'd probably have the same degree when it comes to gays. It's either that or males are just not as accepting of gays because they feel uncomfortable or insecure but don't mind lesbians, while females are more accepting to both, so its kind of dips one way when you hear about it.

It's a dumb reason to end a friendship, but if that's all it took to end it it must have been a pretty dumb friendship anyway, at least one side of it was.
I just don't like the 'bi-curious' or 'bi' people who are ONLY sleeping with the same sex because they think it turns the opposite sex on or because it'll make them look 'cool'. Apart from that, I don't really care about sexuality unless the person's hitting on me or I want to hit on them.

Very true, but what if you are uncomfortable because of it. It would be a different story if you have a friend that was bi and told you he liked someone of the same sex, but if he actually said he had feelings for you or find you attractive, you can't help but be uncomfortable.

If someone is bisexual, I'd honestly appreciate it if they tell me from the start. This doesn't mean I am going to purposely avoid the particular person, but I'd like to tell him right from the beginning that I am not and will never be interested in having a homosexual relationship.
Simple as that, if you ask me.

OP: The person you quoted apparently has a psychological issue in which he is unable to confront his homophobia in a mature manner. The way in which he ends his friendship and the justification that was implied further implicates his psychological issues.

Discrimination is very real in our world, even with all of the effort and gains made by many organizations to do away with it. Segregation based on national, religious, racial, sexual and cultural differences are very much alive today as it was a few hundred years ago. Human intellectual evolution may have positively progressed over the last few centuries, but concurrently, the psychological development has been at a stand still or may even have devolved.

I think it's messed up that the two aren't friends anymore just because one of them is bi... but it is true... being bi is frowned upon as if that person was gay/lesbian. i think it's because if you're bi, that means a part of you is gay/lesbian...

i think it's wrong that there are some people who feel that, if a person is gay/lesbian/bi, that there is ''something wrong with you''...

people should just let others like/love who they want to love... no one's getting hurt, so there isn't anything wrong... god... buddah... didn't they teach something along the lines of... love each other...? it's all the same thing ~ at least that's what i think...
m.i.a. =)

I don't have a problem with anyone who's bi, I've given thought to being bi. But then i remember guys don't have boobs (in a normal good way). To me a relationship without jugs in the bedroom is not worth pursuing.

I've dealt with bi and gay and in my opnion their both the same. Human just like me just not exactly the same. Why people have a problem with them is something I've always pondered.

As for ending a friendship over it i can understand. Sometimes when the same occurs on a hetero level the outcome will be the same. usually it's based on the security and comfort of the relationship, though the whole "gay freak" idea can also play a role.

I have *bi* friends and I don`t have any problem with that. It is there decision to choose, which sex they like and into whom they fall in love with. I hang out with them, make jokes and sth. else, I don`t feel uneasy, why should I? In my opinion, this people are just trying to find out, if they are gay or not. But when they know that they like the same sex then I think it is really brave to show this and bring to light. I mean, it is not important which sex they are, the main point is that they love this person =)

Bi-sexuals are just selfish! lol. j/k. Im not, but my girl friend is. Which from a guys perspective might seem awesome, but really it can strain a relationship. We're not ones for drama, but it can cause some frustration when you feel someone could be competing for your affection. what ever your choice It doesn't bother me, i have family and friends in the ranges of straight -> homosexual.

I think everyone is bisexual, you just haven't met someone of the same gender that you're attracted to yet XD
