Comments on: ‘I’m calling time on this crap’: what it’s like as a gay man to come out as bisexual /news/national-news/calling-time-crap-what-like-gay-man-come-out-bisexual/171891 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 07:32:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Peter /news/national-news/calling-time-crap-what-like-gay-man-come-out-bisexual/171891#comment-604708 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 07:32:09 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=171891#comment-604708 I don’t have issues with Bi guys.
However what I have noticed is that they are truthful with their male partners but will never admit their attraction to guys with their female partners.
Double standards?

What the fuck is “gay” and isn’t it time to just be a human. The latest outrageous statement I just heard is a talk at the Sydney Opera House about a Tchaikovsky piece talking about Illyuia as a “gay” man. Now correct me if I’m wrong but that is an entirely ignorant (and impossibly stupid) remark to make. “Gay” barely existed in his lifetime and his life experience could barely be described as gay anyway. Yes, he was probably homosexual in leaning.

Too much identifying with a “lifestyle” because of sexual leaning. I agree that finding like minded partners is a somewhat perilous journey but being curious is a trait to encourage. Was it Cicero who said “Be a philosopher and be curious if you want to live well.”?
All animals have a sexual nature. Full bloody stop.

Steve. Relax. You are mixing with the wrong crowd. Prejudice and bullying exists in all communities and amongst all groups within the those communities. I’m not condoning it. I’m against it. If it occurs to me or others I’ll call it. From the top echalons of society (rich priveliged people) to the bottom where thuggery and bastardisation is common we all have knowledge of bullying.

Move toward people who are friendly toward you.

I am gay but I have never been attractive to other gay men. I have had three long-term relationships. One was for about 6 years, when I moved interstate. Number two for 30 years until death came a-calling. The third for 20 years – As you can see I am now outside the Gay Pale because of my age! I don’t care!
All three were/are bisexual. All three were/are married. I knew this from the start and never had any problem with it. It seems I have some sort of invisible label on me which states “Only Bisexual Men Need Apply” – because it has only ever been bisexual men who have been attracted to me and I to them.
Yes, I’m now old but I must have something still going for me because I am currently going through that somewhat awkward phase I have gone through before. “Can I trust him with my secret?”, “Will he cause trouble with my wife?” at the moment with a much younger, married man!
If members of the GLBTIQ Community can’t/won’t accept the “B” part of our community it is they who are missing out.
Steve be Proud, Be Very Proud of who you are!
