Lol I've said the same thing, and people DO get mad! I think they say it because they want you to change, and when you don't give in and respond like that, they're not getting their way so they just get mad.

I've also encountered the "I won't date you because you don't have the right sexual orientation" thing. It's a lesbian thing I guess? They get dumped by one bisexual person and as a result decide they won't date bisexuals again because ONE bisexual dumped them. It's like if I was dumped by someone of a particular faith and then decided to discriminate against all people of that faith and say I won't date anyone in that faith ever again cuz one person dumped me. Same darn thing. The funny thing is that they say all bisexuals go back to men. Well DUH when no lesbian will date a bi chick, who else are we supposed to date?!? In the end you can't win. I was tired of getting crap for identifying my sexual preferences so I just stopped labeling myself and now I'm much happier. I was tired of the LGBT community claiming to be open and loving and accepting when I continued to get kicked in the teeth by so many people proud of the cause. It just hurts when you think you've found support in a community that claims to support you but in reality you're even more of an outsider there. I really do think that the "B" in LGBT is a lie. Of course all of my bad experiences were over 10 years ago. I hope the community is more open and less exclusionary nowadays. I'm not really willing to test it out after I was treated so poorly by a number of hypocritical members of their community. And I know that not everyone is like that, but once you get burned, you don't seek out support anymore.
