Re: Discreet or cheat? What is the difference?
There's nothing wrong with loving your privacy! Doesn't necessarily mean you're a cheater. We're living in an intrusive, digital age where it's become the exception instead of the norm. Whatever became of the Constitutional guarantee of " a reasonable expectation of privacy ? " Human nature, as despicable as it is at times....will to this day continue to use your private moments against you !
Re: Discreet or cheat? What is the difference?
I am discreet, I am not a cheater there. There is nobody at home to tell first, I am cheating on nobody, what I personally do is my own business and I am putting no one at risk. I have never cheated on a partner, I have broken up with people first when I decided that the relationship was not fulfilling enough to stay with the person I was with. Why do I consider myself discreet? In my case this would be a career killer, a silent killer that I have seen it where I work. There is no legal recourse when they select others and bypass you consistently year after year, even though everyone knows what is happening, it is subjective with no proof. There is no reason for me to tell the world my business so long as nobody is at risk due to my choices. I have the right to privacy and cherish it.

LMAO No I don't watch too much TV. :rolleyes: I'm too busy living in reality. If you get fired or discriminated against in your job because you're bisexual, gay, etc. then you can sue and win and get money. FYI, not all people who are Christian even the 'born again' type are homophobic or will fire or discriminate against people who are LGBT from their jobs if they are their boss.
We know a bisexual man who is married to another man that has a born again Christian boss and she knows all about how he and his husband are bisexual and is fine with it.
This is not the 1960s or early 1970s; but a lot of people here who are closeted seem to think that it still is. ;) :rolleyes:

Re: Discreet or cheat? What is the difference?
I am discreet. But I'm not a cheat. I've been single for a few years, aside from dating a few people here and there. Right now is the closest I've been to actually being in a relationship, and I'm seeing 2 guys on a regular basis, and they know about one another. One is divorced, the other is married, and his wife not only knows about it, but she encourages it. She has actually texted me to come and take him off her hands for awhile because he was being "annoying." The only people who know are the ones who are involved (my friend's wife has gotten involved on occasion). I am discreet because I believe that it is none of anyone's business what I do in the bedroom. Also, I live in a pretty rural area at the moment, and as hard as it is for some people to believe or accept, it can have negative consequences on your job and overall well being in general. There are some people in my neighborhood, let alone my town who would not think twice about doing very, very bad things if they knew someone was gay or bi.
So there's that.

Direct, truthful what you say. If bisexuals, homosexuals, transsexuals
were safe there would be need of advocacy ergo, no advocacy would exist.
Advocacy still exists, ergo, we are still not safe. Clear logic in that.
It's an if, then, else statement.
if X
then Y
else no X

Not only against the individual, they will come after those the
individual loves. This did and still happens. I will speak briefly using
controversial language, I do so to illustrate a point and not to be
malicious of others.
A white woman in the deep Southern U.S., could become involved with a
black man. Not only would the black man be attacked for being perceived
as perverting the woman, she would be attacked and deemed a nigger
lover. Heck, they may kill them both for the grounds they consider it
unnatural. Then, they could go after the families of this couple. "Mr.
& Mrs. Smith, you know your gal Suzy was a nigger lover? How you raise
such a child? We string you up too."
There are many places where such prejudice exists. It is not only
hate regarding what your skin color is, it is hate even if you think
differently. Want a clear example of that? Look at what Christianity
did to those they dubbed heretics, and used that word in a disparaging
manner. All the word heretic means from the original Greek & Latin is,
someone has a different way of thinking / opinion. The Church began
codifying under Constantine and did not want Christianity seen as a
multi-faceted belief, no, they wanted it all as the Holy Roman Catholic
Church and its brand of Christianity, only. So, heretics were put to
death as accused witches, or simply because someone pointed a finger.
My point is, hate has, does continue to happen. We ALL need to realize
there is NOTHING wrong in being different. Until we ALL do that, hate
will continue to destroy us ALL. And yes, this is why some of us value
having privacy. Ultimately, does it matter if I fuck a man or woman
tonight, next Tuesday? If we both agreed and enjoyed ourselves, I don't
think so. Yet society and hate think otherwise. Guess I'll be a heretic
eternally.
Apologies again for the controversial language used. Hopefully it
serves/d only the purpose intended in this context alone.
