Silverhawk- I guess that depends on your friend's definition of 'rainbowed.' In my view, rainbowed refers to any sexual orientation other than heterosexuality and/or any non-traditional gender status - the 'color' and diversity of the sexual and gender worlds. So, in my opinion, to be bisexual is definitely to be 100% rainbowed, no 'borderline' involved. I do know some people, however, who consider rainbowed to include only those who are homosexual; if your friend is one of those people, then perhaps it would make sense for her to suggest that bisexuality is borderline rainbowed. Hope that helps!

I don't really believe in bi. I think most people who think they are bi are just experimenting or confused.
My opinion.

mkaz- I completely respect your right to your own opinion, however I'd just like to share my own opinion as a bisexual woman in response to that. Yes, I'm actually bisexual, and I'm okay with that. It's a legitimate status- I'm attracted to both men and women, and I don't discriminate gender-wise as to where love comes from, I just accept it, enjoy it, and thrive on it. I'm not experimenting and I'm not confused. Deep down, I've known that I'm bisexual since I was little; I was simply born this way, and there's nothing more to it than that. I suppose one way to explain it is this- to me, saying bisexuality doesn't exist is like saying that yes, people who are blind are actually blind, and people who have 20/20 vision actually have perfect vision, but the people who are in between are just faking it or seeking out attention. The people who are in-between know that their vision is what it is, but its virtually impossible for them to let other people see through their eyes and know it as well, so the other people just have to trust the descriptions of those who are in-between and go with it. I hope that makes sense. Again, I mean no offense or disrespect towards your opinion, I just wanted to share my thoughts.
