Melissa Etheridge Quotes

Of course {I'm bisexual}. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!

I’m sure you gathered this by now: I just do what I want. Have I made out with chicks? Hell yeah. Did I think it was awesome? Hell yeah. I wouldn’t call myself bi. Like, if I didn’t eat meat for a week, it doesn’t make me a vegetarian. So I like people, and that’s just it. I like people.

The way I would choose to identify myself wouldn't be gay. I've been attracted mostly to 'she's' but I've been with many people and I'm open to love wherever it can be found.

I'm not a lesbian. I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes.

After my second marriage failed... I said, 'You know, could I have a relationship with a man? A loving relationship with a man that would involve intimacy?' For a while, before I did get into a relationship, I saw, for a few years, either women or men. And I found that I could be attracted to both.

I've never, ever just been attracted to men. I've never just been attracted to women.

I came to realize, along with being attracted to girls, I had similar feelings for boys.

The time has come, I think, when we must recognize bisexuality as a normal form of human behavior... we shall not really succeed in discarding the straitjacket of our cultural beliefs about sexual choice if we fail to come to terms with the well-documented, normal human capacity to love members of both sexes.

I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.

What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.

I've always had as many powerful, creative ladies in my life as I have men, and you could probably describe some of those relationships as romantic. I think everyone's bisexual to some degree or another; it's just a question of whether or not you choose to recognise it and embrace it. Personally, I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavours.

I do believe that the analogy for bisexuality is a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multiracial world view. Bisexuality follows from such a perspective and leads to it, as well.

Well, actually, I'm a bisexual lesbian in a man's body... but it's more complicated than that.

I'm bisexual.

Straight people say, 'You know you're just gay,' and gay people say, 'You know you're just gay.' There is such a thing as bisexual!

Lots of my writing can be accurately called lesbian, but I myself am queer and date people of all genders.

I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is.

I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing; I didn't think I had to.

I've dated men. I've dated women. I don't know why anyone would care.

I don't really identify as gay; I don't really know what I am.

I can honestly say that I am open to love in any way. I guess that makes me bisexual.

I'm not a lesbian and I'm not straight.

Like a lot of women, I'm bisexual. Once I have sex with you - bye!

Look, a lot of people don't think that the way that I live my life is a real thing, that it exists, that having a broad spectrum of sexual orientation is even possible.

You know, it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.
