I have been having same sex relationships since I was twelve and that makes me Gay. There are those amongst us though who are genuinley confused about their sexuality, so whould you penalize them as fakes? I also know men who prefer to be married to a woman and enjoy passive sex with a man Bisexual it's called. As fof Elton John, he says his nam is sharron but it is'nt! Rick,

It's suggesting that it's something not fit for polite conversation. - This is not the same as outing someone. But once they've put it in the "Public domain", it's just another banal fact about them like anything else.

Danni was perfectly within her rights to point out he didn't need to change the song's lyrics to pander to a hetro audience, and to scream homophobia based on that is simply crying wolf. Choose our battles wisely, or no-one will be listening any more when it really matters.

The herd-like sheep mentality of these people is pathetic. If anyone is biphobic in this instance it is Danyl who went out of his way to alter a song's lyrics so they would appear as if he was singing to a woman.
