| Bisexual flag and colors |
There are a lot of issues about bisexuality. Gay men consider bisexuals as gays in denial. It is either you are straight or gay. However, I always ask this question, how about those macho dancers, call boys or male escorts who are straight yet they engage in gay sex or gay acts for the sake of work or money? Are they still straight or bisexual? That is why some brand themselves as "tripper" or "open minded" straight guys to differentiate themselves from true bisexuals. There is also a similar situation in the United States among straight African-American men who enjoys male-to-male sex. These guys insist that they are simply straight men who enjoy casual gay sex. This is what they refer to as "being on the Down-Low".
The term "tripper" is sometimes being abused by "discreet" gay guys in the Philippines. Being "discreet" does not mean you are a "tripper" or a straight guy. It does not also mean that if you deny your sexuality, you are considered as a "tripper" or a "discreet" guy. Again we have to distinguish these things clearly to avoid confusion.
I hope this topic about bisexuality would open up more discussion on this issue. We need to be informed and to know who is the genuine bisexual.
