That's kinda my point, to me there are no such labels as homosexuality, heterosexuality and bisexuality, just sexuality, it's all a matter of either having sex or being romantic, regardless of genders, besides gay relations was far more common before the media started portraying that being gay means you don't get to be straight
I accept to this statement
Quote:In 1995, Harvard Shakespeare professor Marjorie Garber made the academic case for bisexuality with her Vice Versa: Bisexuality and the Eroticism of Everyday Life, in which she argued that most people would be bisexual if not for "repression, religion, repugnance, denial, laziness, shyness, lack of opportunity, premature specialization, a failure of imagination, or a life already full to the brim with erotic experiences, albeit with only one person, or only one gender."[12]
EDIT: i also found the proof i was looking for
Quote:Dr. Alfred Kinsey's 1948 work Sexual Behavior in the Human Male found that "46% of the male population had engaged in both heterosexual and homosexual activities, or 'reacted to' persons of both sexes, in the course of their adult lives".[15]
Quote:The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior, published in 1993, showed that 5 percent of men and 3 percent of women consider themselves bisexual and 4 percent of men and 2 percent of women considered themselves homosexual.[14]What changed between 1948 and 1993, the media view on it
