I recently discovered a song titled “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry. The song is apparently about a personal experience that Katy encounters, in which she kisses a girl. The trend of “bisexuality” is becoming more and more common. You can't turn on the television without seeing the same sex kissing. One of MTV's top rated shows is about a bisexual star trying to find love. I'm sure all you guys have seen “A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila”. I personally love the open-mindedness of the show and the world, for allowing it on the air, without too much controversy. But many people that I know seem to think that this idea of “bisexuality” is false. I disagree.
I have realized that a lot people hate the idea of someone being “bisexual”. Some people believe that people, men and women, should have to pick a side; to be with a male or to be with a female. I personally disagree that the should have to be world so narrow and cut-throat, just make a decision of being with one type of person-to me that's just like saying that you have to be with a certain type of race, and that race is the only acceptable race. I think that this type of ultimatum is just another type of gay bashing. People have a right to decide who they want to date, whether they want to be with a male, female, or both, it should be accepted.
Another thing that I've seen is people disbelieving bisexuality, and saying that it is just a hop, skip, and jump, from just coming out and say “I'm gay” or “I'm a lesbian.” They say that those people, the bisexual ones, are holding on to their heterosexuality just to have more acceptance in society than the gays and lesbians. This is another thing that I, not disagree with, but I utterly speak out against. Why does the LGBT have to be over so much scrutiny that they cannot even make decisions without people disagreeing with them and acting as if they don't exist? Those conservative know-it-all, religious people, view bisexuality, and homosexuality for the matter, as being, not only a sin, but an illusion. That's the problem with some religions; there's absolutely no room for change. Without change, we as an existing species, cannot evolve. And without evolution, we're just as good as those cavemen that the Geico commercials keep talking about.
So, the word to wise: Be you and never let anyone tell you who you are! If you're gay, then be gay. If you're straight, then be straight. And if you like both sexes, be it. Love who you are, and who you love. Love what you do, and remember, not to do anything that you should be ashamed of. Also, I'd love a comment telling me how you feel about what I've said and you're thoughts!
