Bisexuality

This is my section about what it means to be bisexual.

Let me answer a few commonly asked questions when I tell people I'm bisexual.

So you're gay?
   Nope. Being bisexual means I am physically attracted to both men and women.

So...you're gay?
   I said no, didn't I? Being gay means you are only attracted to your own gender, which I'm not. I'm attracted to both genders.

So you're a pedophile?
Hell no! I ONLY make love with adults, thank-you-very-much.

   These are but a few of the questions I've been asked. They were asked by people who either couldn't, or didn't want to, recognize me as being me. They wanted to slander and degrade me, because they didn't want to understand me.
   This is nothing new, as most homosexuals and bisexuals reading this are nodding their heads in recognition.
   Here's the weird thing. I've even gotten flak from the homosexual community. Now, before I go on, I must say that I know a lot of homosexuals who wouldn't think to say such things, because they know how they felt when such things were told to/about them. I just heard from a few of the minority.
   Anyhow, I've even had some homosexuals giving me crap, like such things as, "You're just trying to be popular" (well, I get that one from both sides), or, "You're actually straight, but want to fit in with the gay crowd." Right.Like that's gonna happen. :P :)

To me, being bisexual just means I have more options. ;) Seriously though.
I suppose here I should talk about "how long" I've been bisexual. Well...I don't really know how to answer that. I mean, I'm of the belief that it's mostly genetics for such things. I seem to remember reading a study somewhere about how some scientists found out that a lesbian's inner-ear structure was precisely like a heterosexual man's. So of course, I'd like to know how they did this study. I keep picturing these geeky-looking guys in gay bars. "Umm...excuse me, could we examine your ear?" *he gets beer splashed in his face* "Umm...excuse me...." Heh.
Anyway, as far as "tell-tale signs," I've always known something was "off" in the way I looked at a couple of other boys in grade school. I knew I had a crush on this girl (well, obviously I didn't know the terms, but you know what I mean), but I didn't know why I felt a similar way about this boy there.
