I have quite a lot of gay friends who told their parents, friends etc they were bi-sexual to soften the blow when they first came out. All but one are just simply gay.
Sticking with my gut on this one.
He's a lovely wee guy ni matter what he is.”
Oh of course, lots of gay males (and females) end up using the bi identiy as a stepping stone (through no malicious intention to muddy or erase the bisexual identity of those that actually are) via eventually coming out as gay or lesbian, so, these things happen for sure.
Some people genuinely think they are bisexual when they say it, and then later are convinced again, but weren't lying, just realised again. Some people are on a sliding scale, some static, and sometimes labels don't fit all of the time. But bisexual men exist, and they're the most invisbile group of the straight/gay/bi sexualities. Bisexual girls are more visible, but not taken seriously, so some (say like some of my hms) assume Marnie is not genuinley bisexual and actually just using the tag as an attention seeking device. That's pretty much the general idea of bisexuals, male bis are all just gay men waiting to fully come out, and female bis are all just straight attention seeking women that falsify coming out.
Hughie is lovely, and if he comes out as gay then great for him and your gut will be right.
