Zoltan - how old are you? Just out of curiosity.

Even though I agree that this really isn't an issue, and that his sexuality isn't your business and doesn't make him any different to the friend he was yesterday, my mind's been churning away...

I'd say that you're just asking if you should act any differently around him. You've gotta realize that he was bisexual yesterday, and a week ago, and a month ago, so don't worry about him making any moves on you tomorrow. That's a pretty big misconception I think, that bisexual people are out there to hit on everyone and that you've gotta watch out for them. It's bullshit. If he didn't hit on you last week then he's not going to do it tomorrow in class.

As for whether you should tell him that you know, I don't think you should. Clearly he trusts this girl enough to tell her that he is bisexual (God knows why, by the sounds of it she can't keep her mouth shut), so whatever they talk about is hopefully kept between those two. If your question is about whether you should tell him you know, in order to support him and let him know that he can tell you about personal things, then I still think you should ignore it. If he wants to tell you then he will do so himself, but clearly for whatever reason, he's chosen to tell this girl.

If he tells you, then it's all cool, he's the same guy. If he asks for support, then you support him. If he doesn't ask for support, if he just tells you he's bisexual, then slap him on the back and say you're proud of him for coming out, and leave it at that. If he doesn't want 'support' then offering it might just make him think that he's doing something wrong.

As for the chick, shakran's right about not trusting her.
