There are many a analysis on the homosexuality of individuals, but what of the bisexuals of the world? Those who hold both homosexual, and heterosexual tendencies, what do you view this combination to be upon the morally susceptable opinions of the "other" to the bisexual individual?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Bisexuals?

There are probably many more bisexuals than we think. When you're gay, you need to come out if you want to be able to have a relationship with anyone. For bisexuals, it's not necessary, so I'm sure there are many who remain closet bisexuals till the day they die.

I think they are who they are. 
Also, I feel I'm in no place to judge them anymore than I am with anyone else.

My own opinion is that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home and life, as long as they harm no one, is not my business or anyone else's.
My assumption is that anyone who disapproves of homosexuality would say they should only exercise the heterosexual side of their nature.

Greedy? By this do you make an implication of the "best of both worlds"? I was just bringing this up do to a recent confronation with a number of strangers that started insulting my bisexual friend with his boyfriend.

I was thinking, we joke with them when this causes about. I dont know i just found it rude, i dont label the person into homosexuality and yet people still do after a confronation of the statement, "i am a bisexual" in which the person responded, "you still touch guys". I just found it rude, and i was just wondering. Im not being opinionated and i wont make comments challenging peoples responses, i just want to see the viewpoint upon bisexuality since there are no(atleast recent) threads about it. I would also like to see people's thoughts on not only the homosexual side of bisexuality, but how this inter-connects with the heterosexuality that is deemed morally correct in our societical basis. A combination of acceptable and taboo.

I don't think bisexuality is any more of a choice than homosexuality or hetrosexuality. You don't really choose who you're attracted to.
As for being 'greedy' that depends on behaviours rather than identity. You could hardly say that a bisexual in a monogomous relationship is more 'greedy' than a hetrosexual man who's with a different women any night of the week.
In terms of religious morlity, it occurs to me that bisexual could sometimes have it even tougher than homosexuals. If for example they wanted to marry a same sex partner, fundimentalists might say 'But why don't you marry someone of the opposite gender? You're attracted to them." Wholey illogical comment I know, but it wouldn't surprise me.
And (finally) human sexuality is a contimuum rather than a binary switch. I'd probably say I'm 90 to 95% hetrosexual but now and then I do have "Gosh he's attactive' Moments.

I would agree that being an openly bisexual person is actually harder than being openly homosexual. It's not really the religious morality aspect, it's that you get flak from both sides of the fence. The amount of dislike/distrust towards bisexuals in the gay community is really quite amazing.
I know I've told this story here before, but when I was dating this one guy, his friends (both gay and straight) had a problem with me being bisexual. Within a few months of the relationship they filled his head with all kind of nonsense that I was going to cheat on him, or leave him for a girl because I can't remain loyal. This made him very uneasy, and fortunately after several months, I convinced him that it wasn't going to happen. So he told his friends to either stop saying those things or stop talking to him all together. They chose to stop talking to him. He lost just about all his friends over that. We ended up dating for nearly three years and broke up because we were going different places.

I think that part of the mistrust is that some gay people go through a phase where they say they are "bisexual" before they are ready to say that they are "homosexual." Many of these people assume that you aren't bisexual, but are homosexual and haven't admitted it yet.
Not saying they're right, but that's the mindset.

I'm bi. I've been attracted to both sexes since puberty. I had some nasty responses on coming out.
I was told I was "greedy" and that I must have "been looking at dirty websites, because you wouldn't have said it a year ago, let alone six months ago."

You're probably right. I also think some gay people would be quite uneasy about being in a relationship with a bisexual person. As much as it would be nice to think that Love is more powerful than social control and hate, there is a sense in which some would wonder why on earth someone would be in a same sex relationship if she/he was bisexual. Having a heterosexual relationship is simply easier in terms of life as part of the wider society.

One of my friends has been married to a guy for about a year now. They've been living together for about three.
She's still bisexual. But I don't she's cheat any more than he would. (She once left a nightclub we were at because there were too many hot asian girls.)

Probably because it has the opposite effect then them being "Greedy." Afterall, if you are insecure enough that you might lose your girlfriend to the next guy who walks in the door, it'll be twice as bad if you could lose them to the next guy Or girl who walks in.
The Risk is doubled!
