Reply #69: Sweetie, I'm Not Going to Tell You Who or What You Are.

I AM going to tell you that if you are bi, you were BORN with an orientation that includes both genders. You didn't "choose" to be attracted to women. You didn't "choose" to be attracted to men. You were BORN with the capacity to be attracted to either gender, just as I was BORN with an attraction to men.

You can call it a "choice" if it makes you feel all empowered and whatnot, and you can certainly CHOOSE to date men or women exclusively, but you do not control your attractions, and you cannot make yourself straight, or gay. If you're bi, you were BORN that way.

And no, you don't have to explain yourself to anybody. But if you post crap, expect to be called on it.
