    I just wanted to get an idea of what kind of people visit these boards.
    Personally, I'm a Bisexual Male.
    Out since November '09ish.

    EDIT: I'm aware that transgender is not a sexuality.

    The poll choices are a bit strange not allowing a person to identify as gay male or lesbian

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Why? Homosexuality covers Lesbianism and Gay Males.

    Bisexual male. Most of my friends know. Haven't told family yet but not particularly worried about that right now.

    Bisexual female. i suppose i came out 12 years ago.

    But you know how it goes, i told everyone i was gay for a while first, because its hard to admit you're just bisexual and get over it.... :P

    what option if you go for Transgendered ? bi /gay/straight ? thats the real question ... ahh labels everyone wants to be put in a box when we are so different ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭dreamer_ire


    Didn't vote cos I would never choose the word homosexual to define myself.

    Gay since birth.... but realised it in 1994 :D

    Ironically there is a label for people who refuse to label their sexuality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭brainyneuron


    'Bisexual' but hate labels and wouldn't ever use the word to describe myself in the real world. (Its about the person we love and not their gender) Anyway, thats a rant for another thread!
    Have known for a long time and as a child/teenager hoped it would 'go away'. Only fully accepted it in the last few months. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Dr. Baltar


    (Its about the person we love and not their gender)

    There's a label for that too. :P

    What's wrong with homosexual? It is the correct scientific term.

    You don't need to use labels in everyday life but they do come in handy when doing population studies. Yes it is about the person you love not their gender, but on a purely physical level as a bisexual I am saying that aside from being able to fall in love with either man/woman I find both bodies sexually attractive. There is the "Other" button if you prefer a different term or do not want to be defined.

    I'm Bisexual. I have been in relationships with both guys and girls. I don't broadcast it but I don't hide it either if people know they know if they don't then it doesn't bother me I'm just living my life as it is right now and comfortable about it.

    That describes me exactly.

    If we go by dictionary definitions then I'm a pansexual female but I personally identify as bi. I don't understand why sexual labels are so rigid personally. I think whatever you choose to identify as is what you are not what the dictionary tells us we should call ourselves.
