I find it rather amusing when people say things like hey! that gay person hasn't tried sex with males/females (whichever's applicable), so they clearly have not met the right person and thus are gay. At a glance, it seems like a rather compelling argument. One does not truly know unless one tries, right?
Unfortunately, nobody ever seems to consider the converse. I mean, every other person who thinks he/she is straight has never actually tried sex with males/females, right? Wouldn't that make them potential gays who never found the right gay lover?
I also take issue with the rather bizarre idea that sex is the defining factor behind one's straight/gayness. I mean, whatever happened to virginity till marriage (or civil union or whatever have you)? If people believe that, no wonder gay (and straight) people are being all promiscuous, ever-eager to please the fickle masses about their true sexuality.

There are a huge number of "straight" people who have gay sexual relationships or gay romantic non-sexual relationships. These people simply don't think of themselves as "gay" or "bisexual".
You could say that the concepts of "heterosexual", "homosexual", "bisexual" are relatively modern inventions. The classification of sexuality lies on the assumption that you can neatly classify people into "male" and "female".
If gender is a spectrum, then sexuality must be too, since sexuality is classified by what your gender compared to what the gender of your romantic counterpart is.
