The Sexuality Olympics™

Okay but unironically I can't wait to see what the graph looks like when we get enough data about gen alpha. All the Gen A's I know are queer or genderfluid or both, in as much as you can be at that young age. I have a 5 year old nephew who will look you in your eyes and say "I'm okay with he but I like they more". They understand what they're saying completely. This viewpoint is common among the single digit age group.

I fucking love science!

I label myself as straight, but I agree with that theory.

Sexuality being a scale, I believe very few people are 100% straight or gay. That means that identifying as bi is for many a matter of societal context and expectations shaping one's perception. Say you on occasion find someone whose gender is not your preferred one attractive: you could either dismiss it as "I'm just noticing they're attractive, nothing more", or consider you might be somewhat bi.

What I find most amusing (and in a way very sad too) are those bigots that claim homosexuality or bisexuality to be a choice because, as they say, "everyone finds people of the same sex attractive, but you have to resist the temptation". Like, dude, you're super gay, just accept and enjoy it.

I think some of this is also why some homophobes consider being gay to be a choice, cause they're bi and it kinda is for bi people

Though the heart does want what it wants. Im first come first serve for whoever catches my attention

In my soc101 years ago our lesson on sexuality featured a number of studies showing that people act bisexual far more than they identity, for both straight and gay people. People will identity as straight on the survey, but than admit to multiple same sex partners lol.

Captain Jack Harkness (doctor who, multiple seasons starting with season 2-3 or so of the 2008 reboot) is the media embodiment of this hypothesis.

They spell out very clearly that the time he comes from, they don’t have hang ups over gender and sex, they just do whatever’s good. So he’s very very openly bisexual and a bit of a slut with lax boundaries, because why not? Do what’s good. But he’s still masculine and appealing and a great character all around.

That's kinda why it took me so long to figure out I'm bi. Growing up I was told homosexuality was rare and bisexuality was not mentioned, I figured since I was a boy and I liked girls that I was straight and didn't really examine it further for years. When I found out about bisexuality later I was jealous because it's the best of both worlds, which in hindsight should have been a clue but I got there eventually

Lmao why did they photograph them like they're some kind of evil villain team

A New Sexual Identity Emerges

I wonder what the famously not-bi ancient Greeks and Romans would think about that statement.

if people think bisexuality is new it's no wonder they thing "transgenderism" is a new phenomenon.

When you're good at the game, any build is a winner

Regardless of what drops out of their pants, you’re having a good time.

That's because you're not looking hard enough you miserable little worm

This bi switch is sneaking up on you, and you don't even realize it

😏

bi dom

But really, how could I be otherwise? There's cute humans among every gender.

i can't wait to not see silent or baby boomers on this shit anymore. Die already.

A lot of the ones from those generations who may have bumped up these numbers in their generations already did, often from AIDS.

Maybe age is a factor? The older you get the "don't give a fuck" factor tends to get higher on all sorts of issues.

Maybe not boomers, though. They seem to harbor very strong "keeping up with the Joneses" feelings. Maybe in a decade some of them will chill the fuck out and admit who they are.

I love that the world has become at least mostly accepting of people being gay, lesbian, or bi to the point where people can be this open with themselves. We've come a long way from everyone using "gay" as a pejorative.

That's why us cis folks need to step up and defend our trans friends. Not just in big demonstrative marches every Pride month, but also in all the casual little daily interactions we have with less-enlightened people.
