I know plenty of people who are in loving relationships but have crushes they're open about and have said things along the line of "oh my god, I totally would!" when they saw a person they found attractive. You don't just turn that off in your brain but it doesn't mean that they would even dream of cheating. So really, there's no need for Chris to feel threatened. Put it this way, no one would make the comment that they're worried about Chris feeling threatened if Rachel was heterosexual so there's no reason to worry because she's bi.
Kind of have to agree with this, no one would be saying 'is she attracted to other men???' If she was straight. Bisexual people can control their feelings, believe it or not.
Ye, I agree with this too.
Basically my thoughts on the whole thing: It's great that she feels better being open about it, bc personally (yeah I know people hate when people bring personal things into the mix but whatever) it felt kinda suffocating when I wasn't super open about my sexuality to others, so I can kind of get where she's coming from with the feeling relieved/feeling more herself thing. BUT, I also still think she just milks this kind of stuff for views, attention, to be part of something, etc. I know bisexuality gets a bit hated on in the LGBTQA community, but I feel like there are more people who don't hate on it than people who do (and yes I could be completely wrong on that because I'm just going by my personal experiences), and if she tries to even hint that she's oppressed I'm going to scream. If she starts making a million tumblr-esque videos about it, I'm going to scream.
