Good grief, yes, I only told one friend in school that I was bi and she was Catholic and was all IF YOU EVER DEVELOP A CRUSH ON ME DON'T TELL ME. As it so happens, I did have a major crush on her, but I said nothing until I had five years of her saying things like "I must be ugly. No? Well, why don't *you* fancy me, then?" I did, you told me not to say anything, ya silly tart!FatalFox said:You can imagine how fun it was/how many egos got bruised when I came out as bi back in school.

I wonder if some straight guys have a thing about lesbians for a similar reason...viranimus said:
Nah, definitions aside, this is a stellar example of fear of gay people. It even sometimes goes something like "I don't have a problem with gay people, but if they hit on me I'll punch them in the face!" They're nervous about being in situations with homosexual intentions being pressed upon them.TheVioletBandit said:
I would just point out that your formatting is off as those are the words of Eamar, Not me as I am not bi, nor even remotely european enough to use the word "Fancied"lisadagz said:Good grief, yes, I only told one friend in school that I was bi and she was Catholic and was all IF YOU EVER DEVELOP A CRUSH ON ME DON'T TELL ME.

Whooooops, the perils of snipping a quote down when there are two in the box.

Firstly, I never told anyone that they used a word wrong, I asked a question about the use of the word. Secondly I'm not wrong, and so I don't think I'm wrong. Don't try to put words in my mouth just because you can't think of anything to say. If you want to know what I really think here it is: This site prides itself on being a haven for pretentious grammar Nazis who love nothing more than to correct or discuss word usage and so on, and these people are for the most part applauded for their efforts for "clarity". But the one time I comment on a word which I see as somewhat odd people come out of the woodwork to flame me, why? Because it just so happens that this word refers to homosexuality. If this word had been "hetero-phobia" (or a better example would be "xenophobia")I would have said the same thing. But nevertheless people can't separate their emotions toward the subject of homosexually enough to rationally discuss the usage of a word, for no other reason than the words oddness. That's what I think. And in regards to my interpretations of your posts, all I have to go on is what you write, no body language, or vocal ques, just what you write. I'm not a mind-reader who can magically tell how serious you are about whatever you write, so if you don't like my interpretations stop writing me.Woodsey said:
I've met a lot of guys like that. "I don't mind gay dudes as long as they don't hit on me."Ando85 said:
