Yeah I grew up in the 90s and was very pro LGB. Even went out to gay bars with gay friends. Even was kissed by a gay man once and didn't freak out. But straight as an arrow and to claim otherwise would be silly. Nevertheless I have no trouble imagining a 19-21 year old me born 20 years ago instead of 40+ saying they were "bi-sexual" just to fit in an score points.

Which, unfortunately, increases the risks of getting hit on by gay friends. And the difficulty turning down an offer. "Yeah, I'm bi but I'm just not into you" is much more a personal rejection than "thanks, I'm flattered but don't swing that way". It's another version of "it's not you, it's me".
