I think the point is that bisexuals exist and sexuality isn't necessarily a binary thing.

And that there is a disconnect between how people think/feel and how they behave. Just because someone gets married to someone of the opposite gender doesn't make them straight. People can choose how to behave, but they have much less control over their own attractions. The "sexuality isn't a choice" is about the thoughts/feelings. What one has a choice about is how to act.

I think there's an important distinction and that's honesty. I think more people are bisexual than would likely admit, but I think there are a lot of people who would fall along the lines of being bisexual but having an opposite sex partner. Like you said, it doesn't make them straight. It may make them monogamous, but your partner could die or you could get a divorce and have a same sex partner next. That doesn't invalidate your previous relationship. That could be a true relationship based upon attraction. It isn't mutually exclusive because...the person is bisexual.

It's their truth. I think that is what children need in terms of understanding their sexuality. There's no truth but their own. You pick your own label. That's your truth.

And whoever you get with, they better not be a scrub. Male or female.[/quote]
