Poker Face is not a stretch, is literally about it

You don't really need to go displaying everywhere that you're bi :huh: doing that would be a marketing ploy, she's just is lowkey about it

I haven't been in a relationship with a man and I'm bi

Yeah, but your attraction to men and women is beyond just sexual. Gaga has already implied this many times. You're like one of those straight dudes that overreacts when another straight dude kisses a man just for fun and his friends call him "gay" for it.

You mean bi people exist??? :lolga:

 

 

 

LOLOLOL JK I'M BEING SARCASTIC. :trollga:

I believe Kesha when she says she's bi, I believe Miley's statements on her sexuality as well. The others I'm not so sure but that's partly because I don't follow them as much.

Bisexuality encompasses a lot of things and bisexual people express it in different ways. Some people might like having sex with one gender more than the other, but maybe see themselves being in a romantic relationship with both. Or maybe they legit like having sex with both AND romantic relationships with both. It's more complex that just our binary way of thinking about it, especially if you wanna throw pansexuality into it. One of my friends considers herself pansexual, and 90% of her romantic relationships and sexual encounters have been with men until she started dating her girlfriend, who is bisexual. But she never stopped being attracted to women even while with men (P-p-p-p-Poker Face, p-p-Poker Face, muh muh muh muh).

Maybe Kesha, Nicki, Jessie, etc. have experimented with or currently experiment with women and consider themselves bisexual because those experiences were/are positive. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'd be interested in being with them romantically. And that's okay. Not everyone is like my friend I mentioned who has been with men and women romantically and sexually. People express sexuality differently.

 

This raises some questions tho in terms of entertainers who publicly state their sexuality:

When someone, say like Kesha for example, says "I'm bisexual" is she obligated in the public eye to prove that? And if she were to only sing about men and date men but never date a man or put out a song or a video about her with a woman, does that discredit her own claims on her own identity?

It wouldn't surprise me if some people were pretending just to get attention back in 09/10/11 just because Gaga was on top at that point and she was open about it, because I'm sure we all remember that weird time period when everyone knew Gaga was the top b!tch and started trying to be weird like her ("Not Myself Tonight" teas + the first half of Nicki's career teas ).

Well Gaga is definitely bi. 

Remember Tara?

They definitely were more than just friends.... :classy:

As for other singers......it was most likely a marketing ploy. :nails:

what? :rip: Gaga herself has said she's bi, I'm not calling her bi because she "kissed" a girl, she said it

You don't know if her attraction is only sexual, it just happens that she fell in love with guys

I have been with a girl and no boys, but I know I'm bisexual

I honestly believe there's a natural bisexuality within evryone, just that they don't discover it yet..

even.straight men bromancing, cuddling and having a boner for the intmacy is a proof, and I knew a lot of straights that had been bjd by gays and they hella like it.. if it's not bisexuality then what is??

I'm not saying Gaga and Katy are or aren't bisexual :laughga: I was just responding to the part of your post where you say that her lyrics are always heteronormative :shrug: 

With one exception, and the one you use is still ambiguous. We can agree to disagree, though.

'Heard your boyfriend was away this weekend, wanna meet at my place?'

Seems to be about a woman though, unless it means a bi guy who has a boyfriend :huh: 

Plus: and Ima quote myself again:

 

On the AMA on Reddit that her former PA did (the one that sued Gaga). She was asked that question too if Gaga was legit about being Bi. And she answered that Gaga "dabbled in a few vaginas". 

I take that as a no (for being a marketing ploy)

I think Gaga's actions can fall under bisexuality, but I don't think she is herself. 

I don't remember her ever expressing her romantic love for another woman, it has only been sexual. 

That's separates me from determining true bisexuals than those club girls that label themselves as bisexuals just because one night they happened to kiss one or two girls. 

We can agree to disagree.

But then again, you don't know her personally, remember she only talked romantically about Taylor, before him she didn't talk about her relationships, so there is no way you know :D

Ever wonder why Gaga stopped talking about her bisexuality? Because some gays are trying their darndest to prove that she's lying. It's tiring defending yourself continuously over and over again, especially when you have to defend your identity against somebody who is actually one of your people and should know better. She shouldn't have to prove to you that she's bisexual. Nobody should have to. This is like when David Bowie came out as bisexual, everyone annoyed him about it and he said coming out was the biggest mistake of his life. :chica:

But on topic: I think a lot of female performers were just experimenting but labelling themselves way too early, only to realize (Jessie J for example).

She has talked about Lüc Carl and Robert Fusari prior to Taylor Kinney... Again, she has never addressed liking a woman romantically.
