And if you watch carefully, you will spot some military personnel in uniform! Which is awesome. Their banner says: For everything we have and everything are! Which is pretty neat. 

Anway it is from last years pride parade in Oslo. I'm thinking about going to the Pride Parade this summer with a friend. I really should be a bit more "out and proud" as they say. Half the time I forget that I am in the minority, it might be because I am bisexual not lesbian? I dunno...

is it sad that this makes me think of the wank on f!s that happens sometimes about whether bisexuals are ~legit

I suspect that happens in a lot more places than just there =/

I know, and the "it is just a phrase" or "everyone experiments with their sexuality" arguments wants me to scream!

It happens everywhere...

[diet_poison]

...just a "phrase"? ;)

Out of honest curiosity, do you think bisexuals get the "phase/experimentation" crap more often than lesbian and gay people?

[making_excuses]

Fuckings spell check! Phase, Phrase, I know the difference, honest:)

In my experience and my other bisexual friends, yes. At least where I live. You might have different experiences than me.

When I came out for the first time at 15, I was told that I would figure out if I was straight or gay when I got older. I was just confused. For years I thought that that was the truth and it is only in the last couple of years I realized that, me being attracted to both genders isn't just me being curious or not having made up my mind.

Same with my bisexual friends, with my gay/lesbian friends on the other hand they got accepted right away as gay/lesbian.

Off course the crap I get isn't half as bad as my asexual friends, but that is a different discussion.

That response just seems weird. I guess maybe it's a manifestation of people just wanting to put people into neat, organized, pretty boxes that they can understand. The concepts of bisexual and asexual defy the setup of two easy boxes that were easy to understand - either you were Normal (straight) or the complete opposite.

As far as asexuals, do people really feel threatened by the idea that someone doesn't experience sexual attraction? That one just downright puzzles me...

I guess it all boils down to most people are idiots and one should just ignore them.
