Topic: Understanding Bisexuality
Intro:

Define what Bisexuality is

Define what people think and say about bisexuality
Give examples of people not understanding bisexuality
Give different words that people use and fall under bisexuality

Position/Advocacy: Bisexuality is real and people need to accept is and/or understand it

Opposing point view to our position:

People like to think that bisexuality is just a phase

People like to say that bisexual people are greedy and that they should choose one gender
love.
It is against god to love some one of the same gender
Bisexuals are confused
People like to say that only women can be bisexual and when a man is bisexual the realy
are just gay

Transition into our argument:

1. Bisexuality is real and has been on earth since ancient times
a. In ancient Greece it was a common practice that warriors and noble men have a
bisexual relationship with young men (pederasty)
b. In a similar sense in ancient japan the same practice was in used (shudo)
2. What exactly is bisexuality
a. Bisexuality is the love all genders
b. Bisexuality does not automatically mean that the bisexual person will
automatically will cheat on the partners to fill up their quota of other genders
c. Bisexuality does not equal polygamy
3. Accepting bisexuality does not mean you have to give up on your religious believes
a. Most if not all religious have about the same common pharse and or saying
around being fair and understanding that punishment will bedelt by god not the
human race
b. Science proves that bisexuality exist by science experiment and by how other
animals other than humans can have bisexual relationships within their own
species
Advocacy:

Bisexuality is real and should be head with the same regards as homosexuality and
heterosexuality
Bisexuality should be understood and not judge by what other like to say is right and
wrong
