I agree, no need for labels. 

I'm not sure if I'd figure it out of this lyrics...not saying it's not there, I'm just slow 

The thing on his finger? Looks like gum.

That reminded me.. he was eating sandwiches (behind a speakers) during a show in Budapest 😂

All this Billie-cuteness reminds me of that one Facebook Live they did back in February. He is such a darling in this video. I've watched it more often than a sane person should have, and I still just can't get over the fact how cute (and hot) his hoarse voice and the sweaty chest are

Haha I'm scared of how many times I've watched this.. That "I'm tired" is the cutest thing ever! Thanks for giving me a reason to watch this another 10+ times tonight

It's so fucking obvious he put a filter on this video, his eyes are NEVER that green unless they have been edited in some way.

Well, Billie couldn't teased the fangirls during the Glasgow concert because it was canceled. The filter in the video was his plan B and it worked very well with the fangirls!  LoL, I'm just joking.

Filter or not, eyeliner or not, glasses on or not... Billie Joe's eyes are very beautiful. They are very expressives.

Unfortunately, I can't watch the video because I'm at work, but the thumbnail for it? HOT! *fans self*

I want to see another Facebook live. I really thought they'd do one for the Hyde Park gig as it was one of the biggest gigs of the tour . My favourite Facebook live was the one before the Cologne gig as it was so funny with GD being goofy dads and Billie waving the cameraman away! I loved that Facebook live so much I watched it 10 times on the trot- even though I was already getting so nervous before Leeds 

Please do another Facebook live GD!

You just like throwing your own opinions out without doing any actual reading or trying to understand the context of what you are responding to first, don't ya? I'm not talking about anything he said post 90's. When the topic of Billie Joe's sexuality comes up, people specifically like to bring up that one interview where he says "I've always been bisexual." I find it ironic that people always reference that small quote from that interview when in the very next breath Billie retracts his statement and corrects it with "I've always been interested in bisexuality." Being interested in bisexuality, or bi-curious, and being bisexual are two very different things. You can be bi-curious and never act on it, or act on it a whole ton and still not identify as fully bisexual. I find it ironic that people always want to quote Billie saying "I've always been bisexual" and ignore the part where he corrects himself.

Coming back to the interview from 2010. While he may not have asked anyone not to call himself bisexual, he did make a statement about his own sexuality. That being that he doesn't have a label for his sexuality. We already discussed a page back that he most likely said "I'd never say I'm not bisexual" as a way to keep people from labeling him as straight. I get where he is coming from, a lot of the time I will tell people I'm Gender Neutral because it's easier than explaining that I don't have or want a label for my gender. Same goes with my sexuality, I don't really want or identify with a label for my sexuality. It comes down to respect, calling him bisexual or not labeling his sexuality. Even if he is cool with it, he doesn't identify as bisexual. He's said he doesn't have a label for his sexuality, so if you respected him as a person you wouldn't be trying to place a label on him. It just kind of shows how people don't actually give a shit about his stance on his sexuality, but only care about the sexuality that they want him to be.

I like going by actual quotes and not misquotes. Not being bothered about labels any more isn't the same thing as retracting what he'd previously called himself, especially since the context was he was asked whether he'd still call himself that while in a monogamous relationship (ie is there still a point in bothering to say that or think about it when he's happily settled with one person for life anyway). If he simply doesn't want to be identified as anything I imagine he would have said that, and not deliberately added that he'd never say he's not bisexual. It's not that people don't give a shit, it's that they've taken what he's said on the subject (it's not limited to those two interviews btw, there's been several times the subject of his bisexuality has come up and he hasn't once said that's not what he is even though he could have any time he wanted) at face value instead of trying to read further into it, dismiss parts of it and make assumptions about how he "really" feels. Many people admire him for or take comfort in how brave he was to come out as bisexual and talk about that subject so openly. Saying "he's not bisexual" is labeling him just as much as "he is bisexual" and goes directly against what he stated he would never identify himself as.

Maybe we've just interpreted what he's said differently but I don't think it's fair to criticise people for referring to him as bisexual when he has identified as that and hasn't retracted it, especially when the motive is often less about trying to force a label on him and more about expressing admiration for his openness about not being straight (whatever exact version of that he is).

He has never identified as bisexual though, he identified as bi-curious at one point and that was about as far as it went.

It doesn't matter if Billie is bisexual or not, he's still the Billie we know and love, so it shouldn't need this much discussion. TBH, it's not any of our business and I thought there was an agreement to stop discussing it a few pages ago. So let's just leave it there, instead of trying to label him when he said he didn't want to label himself.

 

I just saw this video on Youtube and I have no idea where it's from, but I can't stop laughing. 

He's such a dork, but that little smile at the beginning is adorable.

that is who I thought..

I love black/white Billie's Video..his curly blond hair..

 

 

[pacejunkie punk]

That's from his instagram I think.

speaking of clip sources, is everyone familiar with the branding incident? There's a clip from around Nimrod era I think where he asks of he could brand some guy with an iron and gives him a second degree burn? Does anyone know who that guy was and what the clip was from?

You mean this from the Pop Disaster Tour? On a fangirly note I love this clip because Billie's hair is perfect, and his little face at 2.55 is the cutest

Bisexual was the word he used to describe himself, not bi-curious. Bisexual is the word interviewers have always used that he's never contradicted them on. Bisexual is the thing he said he'd never say he's not. I get that you think bi-curious is a more accurate word to describe him but that's not what he's said he is. It doesn't really matter either way since he's also said he's not bothered about labeling himself but it's not up to us to work out what his sexuality is, we can only go on what he's chosen to describe himself as.

Anyway I don't think we're going to agree on this . Nothing else I can really say so I won't carry it on.

The guy was Chris Cote from Kut u Up. The clip was from Riding in Vans with Boys (the documentary that Blink-182 made for the Pop Disaster Tour in 2002).

Thanks for the clip and the info. I've only seen a really grainy short one your clip was much better. I didn't realise it was a pool bridge he used. What the hell was he thinking?

Billie would make a great cult leader if he's that charismatic you'll let him burn you. 🙄
