    Aren’t we all a bit bi?

    Nope! Only bi people are bi, there are plenty of people with genuinely no attraction to men or no attraction to women.

      Yeah, I was being facetious. Clearly some people are completely asexual. But we don’t need to gatekeep here. I think there’s a spectrum between straight and gay, with bi right in the middle, but plenty of other mixes of being attracted to the same and opposite sex. And I suspect that many self defined straight people would be into some same sex action if the circumstances were just so. The social pressures to be straight (or even gay) probably mask this somewhat.

        Sure, absolutely. But I think that normalizing the attitude of “aren’t we all a little bit bi” prevents people from discovering that they’re bi.
