I wouldn't ever give myself the label bisexual, but bi-curious, yeah.

While the word 'bisexual' was technically correct, I would only slowly come to use it to refer to myself in part because of the derisive connotations. But, in addition, it would seem to me woefully inadequate and impressionistically inaccurate.

For many years I thought I was bisexual. And then I would ask myself, 'What is bisexual? Does that even exist?'

I think a lot of people who say they are bisexual aren't.

I consider myself a lesbian, but I'm a bisexual lesbian.

All identity labels are umbrella terms to some degree, but this term 'bisexual' is not only serviceable, but it is sufficient. And yes, it brings together a bunch of people who are maybe shades different from one another. And maybe that's the beauty of labels: that they force you to be with other people and see the difference.

I'm not lesbian; I'm not bisexual; I'm not straight. I'm just curious.

I'm bisexual.

Straight people say, 'You know you're just gay,' and gay people say, 'You know you're just gay.' There is such a thing as bisexual!

While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship.
