Christopher Biggins claims bisexuality doesn't exist
Did he ? that's not really how I read it
“I think the people who fear homosexuality most are the ones who could be gay. The world is full of bisexuals because that's the way they want to do it. What do they do? They ruin a woman's life. It's so wrong, because you're not owning up to what you are. You lead a double life so how can you be a real person?”
He talks of those who "could be gay" so is he referring to men who are gay but either do not want to admit it or are too afraid to come out, now maybe he could be kinder to those afraid, but in a sense he is right, a person leading a double life is going to hurt their partner
He makes no comment about those who are openly bisexual and therefore would not hurt a partner.
If a man was carrying on behind his wife's back with another woman then people would have no problem calling him a basta*d for it and tell him to make up his mind.
So on that basis I wont call for the pitchforks just yet as he did not say bisexuality does not exist he is talking of gay men who hide behind bisexuality often for convenience but fail to inform their partners of this.

Nope. He is generalising about an entire group of people, saying that they lie about being bisexual, they're actually gay but afraid to admit it, and they ruin women's lives in the process because they're only pretending to be attracted to them. He hasn't said that some bisexual men are deceptive or secretly gay; he's just said that bisexual men are those things by default.
To be frank, there's nothing in that quote that isn't offensive stereotyping, right down to the omission of bisexual women from the conversation. He's not obliged to discuss women of course, but if you're talking about 'bisexuals', then that's a category that does include women, so he shouldn't then make remarks on his opinion of bisexual men without making it clear. We can only deduce his point from the context of the 'ruining women's lives' remark.
Comments
I described it. It's of loads of different scenes where Biggins starts laughing that have been put together.
I feel the same, I've always found him obnoxious and creepy. This just confirms it.
How did he even win I'm A Zeleb...who would vote for such a gigantic moron?
Dr. Frank N. Furter - Angels best mate ?
I was thinking of the original since Biggins was in the movie, but Tony Head did a good job.
The only sexuality we can really know and experience is our own. And even then there's room for doubt....
