Homosexuality

Assuming a homosexual façade to gain attention? I was going to say 'no wai', but after some thought I guess it's possible. I mean, suicide is (wrongfully or rightly, I don't know - I have not studied this area) often described as being a last-ditch attempt to gain attention, and that's a pretty big commitment....
I was only wary of allowing the possibility because accusing an angsty teenaged homosexual of simply being an attention seeker would be extremely hurtful and demeaning. That, and it's one of the favorite universal assumptions about homosexuals in my area.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I'd like to discuss bisexuality for a moment.
Earlier in the thread, there were a few references to bisexuality in contrast to homo/heterosexuality. I don't think anything truly negative was implied, but in the broader community there seems to be a stereotype that bisexuals are either closet homosexuals that are too afraid to fully come out or are promiscuous and greedy.
Oddly enough, this prejudice seems to be more prevalent in the homosexual community (sub-tangent: this is probably because non-homosexuals don't care enough to differentiate between them), with bisexuals being accused of treason and 'polluting the community' (http://nymag.com/nymetro/nightlife/sex/c...ty/n_8301/).
