@SW-User i'm wondering also.

@StonerGirl69 maybe someone will show up and enlighten us.

@SW-User I guess the idea is that being bi means you're "half straight", so you get the "privileges" which completely ignores the fact that once you identify as bi, you will never be seen as straight because you aren't.
I guess it has to do with being assumed straight. Then a change in how you are treated when it's found out your not.

@SW-User yeah, it sounds pretty hokey to me. i'm not buying it, so far.

@JoanieNewHampshire the privilege of not being mistreated by straight people who are intolerant towards people who aren't, as long as you're currently dating someone of the opposite sex. silly people.
Agreed!@SW-User
