Sounds like you've got real problems in life not least that of a manic depressive. It takes all sorts I guess.
I apologise for losing it with you, but it is infuriating to deal with judgemental attitudes like the one that you have. You are gay, you know all about the kind of discrimination, judgement and pain that you have had to face for being gay (a general assumption) - try dealing with that x2. Where you have a gay community out there that you can fit into (gay bars, etc) there's nothing out there for us and yes, I accept that we are responsible for it, but it's also twice as hard. Do you know how many support groups that there are in my country that are dedicated to bisexuals? Nothing. Zippo. Zilch.
You are approaching me telling me that bisexuality is a cop out. It's infuriating. It's based on the misconception that we want to hide behind a straight lifestyle yet enjoy the pleasures of homosexual sex. It is way off of the mark.
Before jumping and making snarky but uneducated assumptions, I challenge you to do your homework. Go out there and do some unbiased research. You want to accuse me of being manicdepressive (joke!) perhaps if you actually get away from your screen and become interested you will find that 99% of encounter deep depression, become suicidal and deal with layers after layers after layers of grey.
The best way to try to explain how we feel in society is to compare it with biracial people. Is there really a community that they are able to claim as their own and belong to?
Am I manic depressive? Hell no! I am merely trying to express how most of us feel when confronted with the realisation of our bisexuality...and the level of discrimination against us. The feelings that I expressed is a feeling shared in common by most of us. We do go through deep depression at first, we feel completely suicidal because we feel like we are part of the dregs of humanity, we are completely confused.
You have passed judgement on times in our lives when we are overwhelmed by pain. My only response to you is to be willing enough to learn about a very complex orientation before very glibly passing judgement on us.
