That apperantly, it is okay to random change you sexuality if it better suits your girlfriend despite resisting my (admittingly non-serious) advances for months on the grounds that you were entirely straight.

No I know he is straight. Rather he is just saying he is bi to attract some chick two years older that probably is actually bi.

There are people that think being 'fashionably 'gay' or 'bi' is cool. These are the people that give actual bi and gay people a bad name.

Also, he crossdresses. Quite often. And he doesn't ahve his legs when wearing a skirt.

Okay, this is a case that must be handled with care. He is completely straight, but claiming to be bi to impress a girl, but he aslo crossdresses...

Well then, I guess all you can do is tell him that lying to impress a girl is wrong.

He doesn't believe he is capable of lying. In fact, his metaphysical views are essentially that whatever he says at any one time is true, even if it contridicts something he said before.

This is why I don't study philosophy. Logic and language, please.

Maybe he's not really a good friend.

I just learned that the original pressing of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club is indeed almost flawless, after a thorough cleansing. It no longer skips, and has almost no surface noise. Epic.
