Peter Tatchell says bisexuality will be the new normal for many

I think what he means is without the social pressure to conform to being straight, which admit it, most of us age 40+ definitely grew up with, many more people will experiment and maybe find that they could go either way

Except now there's social pressure for lesbians and gay men to include the opposite sex in their sexuality. That's the homphobia amd that doesn't appear to be going away any time soon so not sure what he's really on about

Get with the times Grandpa Peter, all the cool kids are pansexual these days.

I think what he means is without the social pressure to conform to being straight, which admit it, most of us age 40+ definitely grew up with, many more people will experiment and maybe find that they could go either way.

I'm straight, as far as I know - but I've never been with a woman. Perhaps if I'd had positive sexual connections with women before I got married as freely as my daughters' friends seem to, I might have found that I liked it more than being with a man.

Back in the 80s when I was growing up, the pressure was to find a boyfriend. If never crossed my mind, or any of my friends' minds, to look for a girlfriend. No one was gay, or at least no one would admit to it. Teenagers of today aren't hemmed in by 1980s homophobia like we were.

He's obsessed with other people's, especially young people's, sexuality and sexual experiences. He is such a creep.

Wtf is ge on about. Being open about your sexuality may have changed a bit but sexuality itself hasn't. You don't go from straight to bi or gay to bi because someone says it's OK you either are or you aren't.

I'd find lesbians and gay men suddenly declaring bi sexuality a sign that maybe they are being coerced. We know.lesbians are fir sure. That should ve something that bothers him as opposed to a cause fir celebration

That's his opinion, many disagree and to be fair I've read some of his essays years ago, before the trans rights and gender movement started, and he said the same then.

One of his beliefs is this symbiotic relationship between gay identity and homophobia. It's an interesting theory, but probably one best reserved for academia. Probably nonsense, but it at least gets people thinking.

I suppose now his theory reads (or he has changed it) as everyone should become bisexual to fit trans people into their dating pools.

Bur this isn't new. He's been saying a world without homophobia would have fewer people identifying as straight or gay, but more people experiencing both same sex and opposite sex relations for over twenty years. It's always been his stance. You might not agree with him, but I am confused as to why people are suddenly being outraged now.

How are the boundaries between gay and straight blurring?
