lol

sTARTING!

I'm recording as well, but I haven't tested the software so pray with me :pppp

Can't watch it here in the Netherlands

Prober pro tube!!!! Bij mix werkt t geloof ik!

I thought there was a fair element of that on here when so many people thought his statements at Heaven were proof that he was gay. Not bi-phobia, exactly, but certainly a lack of recognition that not all men dating men are gay

 

But when I suggested that, I was called a deluded fool who couldn't face facts

Other than giving you a I don't really know what to say without sounding cocky, so I'm just going to quote Alan Cumming, who has stated that he considers himself bisexual, "although the pendulum has obviously swung". My God, feeling like such a maniac here XD

Oh, I never intended to pin it all on biphobia. I was just saying that I think coming out as bisexual when you are really gay is completely illogical, not only for the reasons you had already mentioned, but for this one as well. What you say about not quite believing him... I dont know really. I just dont think that whatever he could have said to clear things up, would actually have cleared things up. Is there anything else to say than "sexuality is messy" to begin with? And first, Id say, everyone would have to agree on the same definition for bisexuality. Is it just love or do atrractions count as well?

Im the one who warned you Obviously you stand a big close and you touch the people around when you move, but I think the lady in front of me seemed to overreact and I didnt want her to spoil my concert by doing something stupid

The one who came to me after the gig, that was you? Small world haha. Anyways, Im sorry but I dont quite understand what you were trying to say right now :s

I talked about this on the gay thread once. It's ridiculous how, even inside their own community, some people feel the need to judge others and question their sincerity. LGBT people are a minority and to me, the ideal situation would be that they could all support each other instead of wondering whether someone is actually gay or bi.

 

 

 

Best comeback ever!

 

You're right, there is a need to prove people wrong when it comes to bisexuality. Some just don't seem to understand that there's a lot more than sex when it comes to being attracted to someone - romantic feelings are involved too.

Why thank you I try not to think about it too much, but some more support always helps Besides, I understand people like my best friend who I havent known for that long and who doesnt understand how Im calling myself bi even though in the time Ive known her, Ive fancoed only one guy and hes gay so yeah... haha. Anyways I do see that as well.

I saw a lot of unpleasant comments about bisexuality, saying that it does not exist that is an excuse for not wanting homosexuals to their coming out as gay. And those added "bi now gay tomorrow". I found it shocking and more shocking is that people who wrote these things were on a community blog BGLT:doh:

Yeah, amazing how the LGT community can be sooo understaaandiiing sometimes

Good point. I actually have a somewhat similar experience with my mother: she doesn't think there's anything wrong with being gay but to her, bisexuality is somehow a bad thing. I don't want to repeat her exact words as I found them very offending but she basically finds bisexuals sex-crazed. Needless to say I silently shook my head and couldn't help but think "if only you knew about your daughter".

Suppose we'll have to prove them the opposite? But yeah, I get the reaction. Remember one of the first people I told saying (without meaning to insult me as well): Oooh, so you butter your bread on both sides? And I was thinking, have you met me? I don't butter my bread whatsoever XD

i dunno about biphobia being being more common but it is DEFINITELY alive and kickin! this is why i facepalmed a bit when this article teaser came out with this headline because he's unwittingly just 'proved' what so many bi-deniers thought: that there's no such thing as bisexuality...

Exactly! And then I felt silly because of coooourse I'm terribly happy for him. I was there at Heaven and he seamed so thoroughly happy, and then, when telling us about TOOL, so thoroughly nervous. Wish for him that from now on he will only be that happy

I'd like to cut in with something that I personally feel very strongly, but that none of you (if I'm not mistaken) have mentioned: that biphobia is actually more alive than homophobia in "our" culture. I used to explain to people (as I am apparently the "gay expert" in the family whahaha ), especially my mother, that Mika's songs don't actually scream "gay" to me as they scream "bisexual" and that I was thus not surprised when he came out as such a few years ago. Anyways, my mother replied that there is no such this as actually being bisexual: it is just a way to either keeping everybody (the fans) happy, or being too scared to come out properly, as gay. Silly thing is, she is not at all homophobic. In fact, she asked me whether I was gay when I was 10 years old and won't take no for an answer, even now I'm 22 years old. And my father's opinion... well let's say his idea of being bisexual is the slutty Katy Perry kind.

 

I've actually been debating coming out as a lesbian since Heaven & this interview, just to be "ahead of the facts" LOL. Parents don't believe me when I tell them, in my mind truthfully, that I'm not gay, in the first place

BTW, if I may also take this opportunity to apply for the role of The Mother of Mika's Babies... Good chance I may actually need a daddy for mine (A)

Hey, I'm not quite new to the forum as I have been spying on you forever and used to be part of the other/first official forum for ages, but well... I'm Flo

Anyways, I really wanted to say how amaaaazing I thought this gig was and apologise as well, because I see that a lot of you are rather irritated by the behaviour of some fans. Now I don't actually identify as anyone who is remooootely as irritable as the ones you described (I am actually really quite well behaved, honestly), but I do realise that the situation I was involved in during the gig may have angered a lot of you. That's why I want to explain what happened Just because I really didn't mean to

So, in short: a man and his girlfriend had come all the way to the, I guess, 6th row and wanted to go even further, even if he was literally almost twice as tall as the people he was trying to get in front of. I tried telling him, as did the other people around me, that this just wasn't going to happen. He eventually backed off, but threw me and thus many others to the side during the first number anyway. I tried getting the attention of security while holding him back, but it took about 1 to 2 minutes before they came. Anyways, I realise I could have just let him go, but that wasn't an option for me. The arrogance... meeeh. Apparently, a woman standing before me texted that "the girl behind [her was] going to get her face smashed", so it must have looked like a lot more of a heated argument than it actually was, or what I intended it to be. I hope you understand that this was never, ever my intention.

On a more positive note, wasn't he fantastic? Absolutely the greatest, most spontaneous, fun gig I've ever seen!
