How can the B in LGBT stand for bisexual when nobody in this forum will acknowledge their existence?

The Kinsey scale is real science. its the result of 60 years of research

0- Exclusively heterosexual with no homosexual

1- Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual

2- Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual

3- Equally heterosexual and homosexual

4- Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual

5- Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual

6- Exclusively homosexual

its time the LGBT community made itself clear on this matter

Yes they are BORN THIS WAY in that they cant help having attraction to BOTH genders.

Some bisexuals excercise that choice freely and live as gay or straight.

Some Bisexuals choose to repress their gay side under social and political duress

Still others dont choose at all but instead enjoy both

if we accept Bisexuality as a reality then BY THAT FACT ALONE (ipso facto for you lawyers) we must also accept that for a large number of Bisexual people who identify primarily as GAY there is INDEED a choice

So stop saying its NEVER a choice because according to the Kinsey Reports it is a choice for HALF THE (free) WORLD

So how can we as a community not acknowledge it

Update:

no suicide..i will not be silent. if our case is going to have any credibility them we have to all be on the same page and that will never happen as long as the facts dont fit the claims.

as long as there are people on the other side of this argument saying it is a choice then we need to clarify where that choice lies. if it just looks like we are in denial then our case is as weak as theirs.

    I think it's just a case of understanding, many people don't know what the Kinsey scale is, so CAN'T acknowledge it. What I don't understand is why people feel the need to tell others how to label themselves, or whatever. Why can't we just feel what we feel?

    The Kinsey scale is a loose guide, you can't control what people identify themselves as. I consider everyone not a 0 or a 6 bisexual. If they are a 5 and they don't think they will ever be in a relationship with a woman, what do I care if they say they are gay? It doesn't mean "gay" is a choice.

    "it helps people understand that human sexuality is very complex and not everyone fits into the boxes of gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight. "

    -Actually it's pretty simple. Anyone not a 0-6 is bisexual. Bisexual says you have the capacity to be attracted to both sexes. not if you prefer one sex or the other.

    very true. the Kinsey scale, although its not perfect, should be made made more public. it helps people understand that human sexuality is very complex and not everyone fits into the boxes of gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight.

    i think alot of people have a problem with bisexuals because alot of people (mostly young girls) think its cool to suddenly turn bisexual for a short period of time then go back to being straight.

    personally, when someone tells me they are bisexual i automatically think its a phase or they are seeking attention, just because it happens so frequently in today's society.

    but you are right, people need to stop thinking this way and people need to stop labeling themselves as bisexual when they are actually straight or close to straight.

    Can you please; I beg of you please stop poking holes in the ship. Those who don't believe in bisexuality are a minority; one which should be ignored just like those who are against transgender/transsexuals. We're all in the same boat, don't poke holes in the boat.

    Noted: Being as Will is the only user here I know that says Bisexuality doesn't exist; I hadn't realized this was such a large issue. So, is this a question on choice or bisexuality not existing?
