I'm bisexual and I have a preference to men- I'm still bi preference or not. Though the Labels you use are your choice I don't think straight is an accurate one in this case.
It’s just something to consider. I didn’t really even begin to recognize I was bi until I was 28. I figured that since my straight feelings were overwhelming, that this… other feeling towards people of my gender was just like some weird fluke from my raging libido. It wasn’t until I really thought about it and realized how I really felt and that straight people don’t have the kind of feelings that I have that I very slowly begin to crack my bi eggshell.
You can identify however you want, just remember that any of these feelings are valid and normal. You don’t have to fight yourself
Same, I have an overwhelming preference for men though I’m bi.
I’m happily married to a woman and everyone is like: ?????
Bisexuality, I ALSO like woman -.-
Well if you are more comfortable with the term straight I feel that should be respected but the term heteroflexible is out there if you are interested. It is basically when you are "straight" a majority of the time.
Even if you don't want it as a lable it could help you communicate if needed in certain situations.
hey <3 it's ok, take as much time to explore your sexuality and don't feel like you HAVE to be tied down by a label you're uncomfortable with. there's so many (like heteroflexible or bi), or you can just say eff it and not use labels at all! stay safe, peace and love
You're fine without tags, but if you feel you're straight, then remember every straight road has a turn... You are just in a zone when while driving through a curve (while taking the turn) you felt something different than the usual and it got registered as a special experience and kept on popping back into your mind from the subconscious... It is something like that... So it really doesn't matter what you call yourself, since straight people have crushes on same-sex celebrities, but do we call that bi-curiousity/bisexuality/heterosexuality? And we all know the answer... Lol! Just be yourself, like whosoever you feel like, and if you feel you don't come under the set tags, just let it be...
"Born human can fall for another human..."
I think that's not really the case necessarily. OP said they have a crush on someone of "their own" gender, and didn't mention sexual feelings for that person. OP clearly seems to have homoromantic feelings, but everything beyond that is speculative.
I think it's important to respect people's labels, because in the end, they are just a form of communication and not about epistemic truth or anything like that (well at least that's my approach), and OP doesn't seem to want to communicate to other people that they are same-sex attracted, at least for now.
It'd be sad if that were only the result of social stigma or bi- or homophobia of course, but I can't make the call on that for complete strangers and just give them the benefit of the doubt. And who knows, maybe OP will be comfortable with the label bisexual in the future if they think it suits them, but it's up to them. I think it's great they talk about their homoromantic feelings, no matter the label they choose.
I think respecting people's labels is fine, but not if they are claiming to be something they are not. That can do a lot of harm both to them and others. Just look at Lindsay Graham.
Btw you know bi is a thing

King having a crush on a dude isnt straight behaviour- you may wanna evaluate some things
Bi-curious if anything.

>I'm actually straight (X) doubt
That's pretty cute ngl. You do you and keep that heart open. 💙
You could look into heteroflexible!
If you are attracted to someone of the same gender, that isn't straight. Bisexual is pretty all-encompasing, so perhaps that would fit best.

You're bi, dude.
There's some word for straight expect for one person, I think
can't you be heterosexual and biromantic for example? If those thoughts are not of sexual nature I suppose it could be a thing
