Lying certainly isn't the right word. Despite claims otherwise, it is a word that carries with it a moral judgement. It implies deceit, or at very least a lack of self-knowledge.

what appears to the the focus of the article is that many men who may later identify as homosexual have a period in their lives in which they identify as bi. instead of focusing on the social pressures and mechanisms that make it hard for men to claim a gay idenity, the rhetoric is on "lying." instead of looking at how this percieved idea of "transition" affects those men who identify as bi for a majority of their lives, the assumption is that some men "haven't got the memo" yet that they are in fact gay.
