Bisexuality
alright- I'm throwing this out there....
there seems to be some biphobia, some ignorance about bisexuality, and hopefully some curiousity.
so lets just have some dialouge.
hopefully it can clear up misconceptions and the like.

Biphobia LOL
The quinticential liberal tactic. Turn what you disagree with into an illness

Biphobia is the irrational fear of bisexuals. Fear with no basis in reality. It's quite relevant. If someone says "I don't know why, but bisexuality is just wrong, that's the way it is", chances are they're biphobic.
I'll refrain from sharing my opinions on the "call it the opposition's stupid tactic" tactic.

Disagreeing with a lifestyle does not equate to a fear of that lifestyle. I can believe that homosexuality is wrong for a variety of reasons but none of them include a fear of anything. This is nothing more than the normal liberal tactic of marginalizing any disagreement with their position. "Oh, you don't have to listen to Nathan, after all he has an irrational fear of bisexuals and therefore any argument he may have is pointless"
Nice, that way you are never wrong

OK, so what is your basis for disapproving of homosexuality or bisexuality?
Personally, I always thought it did come down to fear.

You seem to misunderstand.
From what I've gathered, you have your reasons for it, beyond "it's just not right". In that case, I wouldn't call it biphobia. Not that I'm very likely to agree with you still, but irrational fear is fear that can't be explained. Take arachnophobia, for example. I know some people who think they have it because they're afraid of being bitten by spiders, often due to negative experiences. That's not really arachnophobia, if it's the bite you're trying to avoid. I know for sure that I'm arachnophobic, because I have absolutely no valid reason to hate spiders beyond the fact that they're spiders, and that fact creeps me out.
Since you're apparently not biphobic, though, feel free to give us your arguments on why bisexuality is wrong.

Things that we don't understand.
I couldn't picture loving someone of the same gender, and therefore, it's wrong. I couldn't picture myself loving someone of a different race, and therefore, it's wrong.
I mean, what possible rationale is there to care otherwise?
