The American Medical Association defines bisexuality as a person that is attracted to both sexes romantically and/or sexually. 

You left the OR out. 

By American medical standards Gaga is bisexual. She is attracted sexually to both sexes. 

To be attracted to certain body parts and genitals associated with a specific sex is a sexual attraction (perhaps even a fetish or partialism) but not a sexual orientation and I've already explained these concepts multiple times. Look, I already made my points clear and I'm not going to repeat them again. I have already politely moved on from this thread and made peace with my opponents and you should too. 

And not to brag or anything, and I know this is just some fan poll, but 79 of people who are her own fans (including me) and who have followed her career thoroughly out of 199 (66.3%) agree that Gaga has been disingenuous with her label or perhaps does not comprehend it. By your definition, Madonna is bisexual too, and Katy Perry, and many other pop girls that kiss and tell about their homosexual experience because they find the female body beautiful. That is YOUR definition. By YOUR definition, if a girl at a club gets turned on by another girl and wants to feel sexually fulfilled and decides to take things far with the other girl's body because she knows it will impress the male gaze then she must be bisexual too. She's attracted to the female body, but she also knows that her homosexual actions will turn other men on. We both know this is not what bisexuality is, so why is Gaga an exception? 

I don't even want you to answer that question because although it is intellectually stimulating and interesting to debate and share thoughts and ideas with people, there never seems to be an end to it and gets exhausting. I also have a feeling this why there are very few people out of the 79 fans that are trying to make a clear point because they don't want to fall into this trap of being quoted multiple times just because they are explaining a different view that people don't want to read/hear or understand due to safe space or status quo.

Have a good night and enjoy the rest of 2017.

Some just curious, I guess. Some are genuine. And some really did it for marketing ploy. Jessie J is the latter ones, cos she can easily retracts what she stated previously in favor of straight people market for that album that unfortunately still tanked anyway. :poot:

I don't care what points you've made, because they are based on your individual definitions, not on medical definitions.

The poll was a question about pop girls using the Bi label, not Gaga specifically. The OP specifically referred to "Female artists who expressed this at the time included Kesha, Nicki Minaj, and Jessie J". If the OP had just asked the question about Gaga, then the results would reflect how a tiny percentage of the fans felt about Gaga. 

People are discussing it, but you are intent of your one narrow definition that you have decided is the "right definition". Many people have made good points and even given examples of themselves as Bi individuals, but you aren't paying attention. 

For some odd reason, you are insistent that Gaga is not what she says she is since the beginning of her career, even though you don't know her personally and have no idea of her complete sexual and/or romantic history over the last decade, or so. 

And no, the definition in my original post was not "my" definition, but the definition given by the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. I stated that in my post.
