On May 12, I was looking at Twitter on my phone, on my way to work. I looked at a tweet from AfterEllen.com, saying that openly bisexual actress Megan Fox would never date another woman. "I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man." Shamefully, I didn't read everything. However, it's no surprise that there is some stereotypes and ignorance in the LGBT community. I remember why I'm too scare to talk to women.

On May 13, I was watching Oprah -- with three comedians, including Mo'Nique. Mo'Nique mentions she will be starring in a film called Precious, showing in November. Originally, Precious was originally known as Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire, however, the name was change to avoid confusion with the action film Push. Anyhow, Precious is about a teenaged girl named Precious Jones, living in Harlem. Precious has a rough life -- raped by her father and emotionally abused by her mother. By the time she turns 17, she has two children. With Precious being illiterate, obese, and unloved, she feels like she's nothing. However, a GED teacher reaches out to her to prove her otherwise. Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey also stars in this movie. I will say Mariah Carey's performance is fairly well; initially, I didn't recognize her. This film through seeing the trailer is heartbreaking, yet...good. I recommend others to watch Precious, as should I.

I was on Twitter and saw a tweet from AfterEllen.com which though it's not original to me anymore, it's disturbing. According to the site, Dr. Phil is making a casting call for his show -- "Teens Pretending to be Bisexual?"

"Is your teenager rebelling by pretending to be bisexual? Has you teen pretended to be bisexual because he/she thinks it's cool? Or has your daughter pretended to be bisexual to attract boys?"

I'm too speechless, so say your comments. However, me -- I'm no fake bisexual. I never used liking a girl to attract the opposite sex. Never did; never will.

Lately, I wanted to connect with people in the gymnastics community. However, there was something I didn't expect. Me having a mild attraction towards a world-class gymnast. Not just any world-class gymnast...Shawn Johnson. For those who don't know her, she's an olympian who won one gold and three silver medals. Recently, she's on Dancing with the Stars...now in the final four. Anyway, I knew I was attracted to women, but I'm still nervous over my sexuality. I'm afraid a gymnast would be scared -- thinking I would like her or want to see her undress. As for Shawn Johnson, I will do nothing, 'cause she's a celebrity. I would say the same if she was a guy. Also, I would never want to fall into her male stalker's level. This 34-year-old travels cross country with guns and duct tape saying that he and Shawn were meant to be together...saying that she talks to him on the TV and in his dreams. Crazy! Anyway, I guess my taste isn't too bad. If straight men, lesbians, or bisexuals could see her, they would agree.
