“TRANSITIONAL” OR “PATHOLOGICAL” MODELS?
Both the right and gay/lesbian communities appear to own just two feasible different types of bisexuality, neither of which represents bisexual people accurately. The foremost is the “transitional model” of bisexuality, thinking that every bisexuals are now actually homosexual or lesbian but they are simply on the road to ultimately being released as homosexual. The other could be the “pathological model”, that bisexuals are neurotic or mentally unstable whether they are straight or gay/lesbian, and that they just can’t make a decision because they are in conflict trying to decide. Both models see bisexuality as a short-term experience or perhaps a “phase” created away from confusion as opposed to a traditional orientation that is sexual. Some see bisexuality as inherently subversive since it blurs the boundaries, confronting both heterosexuals and men that are gay lesbian ladies with intimate ambiguity. Because of this, bisexuality challenges principles of sex, old-fashioned relationship and household structures, monogamy, sex, and identification.
