So ignorant and narrow minded, both him and Renee

Shaun 02-08-2016 12:32 AM

Is the myth that unless you're simultaneously boning both a man and a woman you're not bisexual still being propagated? What tedious trolling.

iRyan 02-08-2016 12:35 AM

I'm surprised nobody took them up on those comments either.

I'm not gonna say I really understand what Renee meant, but I'm not that mad at her because she just wasn't aware about the concept of bisexuality, since she doesn't have a huge knowledge of the LGBT community.

Biggins, however, was disgraceful. He should at least stick up for other members of his own community, rather than bringing them down.

I've always thought that bisexual people are greedy beggers, they want their cake and to eat it too.!!

azi 02-08-2016 04:56 AM

More disappointed in Biggins than Renee since he is gay and should understand more.

Ammi 02-08-2016 05:05 AM

..what would Sir Ian McKellen say...age is never an excuse for mind-sets like this because he's lived many years from back in the day of whatever the views were then..he's not been in a cocoon for all of his life...and he has never seemed like the sort of person to want to say things just for the 'shock factor' either so, so disappointing that he would have said something like that and that he actually believes it..?..

Wtf? :nono:

How ignorant can you be?




He is a Snob

HIS opinion ,and no one has the right to tell him he's wrong

Ellen 02-08-2016 08:11 AM

Biggins expressed his own opinion in a chat. For all we know he could have met a few bisexuals in his lifetime who didnt want to admit to been gay and maybe came out as gay at a later date and that is where his opinion came from.

Maybe just maybe the rest of housemates are not special snowflake enablers and actually agreed with Biggins. Just a thought.

I have friends who are bisexual,I think Biggins was wrong to generalise,he too 'must', in my view, know people who are bisexual.

Changed my mind as to him in an instant when he said that, and even worse stuck by it.

...and also especially as he's older, rather than be any kind of 'excusing', Joey because of the more closed mind-sets back in the day compared to now....I wonder how many times (back in the day..).. either he or someone he knows would have had something like..'homosexuality, that's not a 'real' thing surely but some kind of choice..?..' thrown at them....just staggering that he could hold such a view of bi-sexuality....

smudgie 02-08-2016 08:48 AM

Perhaps he has only met people that said they were bi but turned out to be gay, perhaps not wanting to come out. Not forgetting he has been around for a very long time and things were very different when it was all illegal.:shrug:
None of us have a clue to what he has experienced in his life or the people he has met down the years.
He was simply giving his personal opinion, hardly asking for their heads on a plate.

alex_front2 02-08-2016 08:49 AM

To all those who say Biggins didn't mean this, he did. It's a long held belief
http://attitude.co.uk/christopher-bi...ls-ruin-lives/

Fair dues, he's going up against his "community", along with the US agony Uncle Dan Savage, I'm beginning to see the so called LGBT community isn't one big happy family. I see plenty of gay guys who don't believe in transgender people, 'Drop the T'. Civil War is brewing in LGBT.

Liam- 02-08-2016 08:52 AM

In my life, the majority of people I know that have come out as bi, have later come out as gay, so I can see why people would think that it's more of a 'stepping stone' sexuality, for people to test the waters with people's reactions to them liking the same gender, but to tar 100% of bisexual people with that brush is wrong.

In my OPINION he is wrong and ignorant and unlike Renee who isn't apart of the LGBT scene and doesn't understand it, he has no excuse for his ignorance.

Opinions are a two way street.

calyman 02-08-2016 10:18 AM

It's not for old buffoons like him to dictate what is bisexuality or even gayness. He comes from a generation where it was acceptable among many repressed gay men to marry a woman and thereby ruin their own and their wife's life. Fortunately we live in more enlightened times. Whatever one calls oneself, they are obviously comfortable with that title. There is no "GLBT" Licence Board dictating how you must perceive yourself.

I doubt it's ignorance on Christopher's behalf, he has made that judgement from years and years of experience so I don't think it's fair to call him ignorant.:nono:

To deny a sexuality just because it doesn't fit with his view of the world is ignorant.

except bisexual people of course..who would actually know for a fact that he was wrong ...........

Does anyone really believe that Biggins is the all seeing, ultimate in wisdom Oracle? :laugh:

The guy is a knob end, always has been. He has never asked to be treated seriously by the public in anything he has done, so why should he now be taken seriously for 1 comment made in passing? Too funny :laugh:

caprimint 02-08-2016 11:25 AM

It's incredibly dumb. Forcing yourself to 'choose a side' is ridiculous. Why do people have to have a label? It's possible to be completely open about who you fall in love with instead of putting yourself in a box with one gender.
