Normally I don’t care much for celebrity gossip or news…but does it seem that when high profile female celebrities like Fergie (of the Black Eyed Peas) and Megan Fox claim to be bisexual, people seem to be extremely accepting of it for the most part and even seem to celebrate it?

However, do you think that if a high profile male celebrity did the same, the general public and mainstream media would react the same way? Or do you think they might seem less interested or accepting and even possibly hostile in their reactions if someone like say, George Clooney, Will Smith or Matt Damon came out as bisexual?

I noticed when Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, came out as bisexual back in 1995, there was little fanfare or mention of it in the press.

I often wonder if the female celebrities who claim they’re bisexual really are, or if they’re only doing so in order to titillate their legions of heterosexual male fans.

If it were the latter case, that would be extremely offensive to people like myself who are genuinely bisexual, as it makes it seem as if bisexuality is not a legitimate sexual orientation but simply a behavioral phase with which people experiment.
