Everyone is 'bisexual' now???

Hey...been a while since a posted anything...lack of inspiration and reading better blogs kinda kept me away...but I think I'm back now.

A short while ago I was having a conversation with 2 friends of mine and they pointed out how everyone seems to be 'bisexual' now, funny thing was I had noticed it too.
It's like an epidemic in, some even put it in their twitter bio. I'm not even kidding.
That got me thinking.
Is being bisexual now the new 'cool'??

A couple of months ago an old friend of mine called me up and the conversation went like this.

Me: hey sweety long time, how've you been
Her: I've been fine o, ehen faith, I called you to ask you something.

Ah, getting a little worried, havent spoken to her in almost a year and she called to ask something??? was something wrong?

Me: err..ok..is everything alright?
Her: oh yh yh everything is fine, see eh, I'm in Lagos now, left port harcourt yesterday, I came to see a friend and we're going out tonight, but I want to do something different, I'm thinking of making out with a girl.
Me: are you fucking kidding me????

At the time of this conversation, what got to me wasn't what she said, I was just surprised that she called me up after so long to ask such a daft question, but after a while what she said started to sink in.
When did doing something different on a Friday night suddenly mean girls making out with other girls??
It's ok if you really are bisexual or homosexual, but it's not ok for people to do it cuz they think it's cool.
Half the girls screaming bisexual haven't ever had sex with a girl, nope, and I can bet my right eye that they probably never will, so what exactly is the point of this new movement.

There are people out there who really struggle with their sexual orientation and struggle with the fact that they can't openly be with or marry the person they love because they're gay and some stupid teenage girl is club hopping and kissing every girl she sees claiming bisexual because it's cool?
Its not ok.
