Bi-Curious Dilemma


Apparently Bisexual Visibility Week came and went again without so much as a threeway. Just what are we to make of those people?
It’s a common enough story that we’re all familiar with the beats: You hook up with a guy who tells you he’s bi and after a few weeks of “dating,” when you try to take things to the next level, he breaks it to you that he doesn’t see a relationship with another man for himself. The immediate assumption is that you’ve been led on and that this self-proclaimed bisexual is probably just a gay guy too chicken s–t to own up to being gay. That incorrect assumption, I argued, is where a lot of the hostility from within the gay and lesbian community toward bisexual people actually comes from. While same-sex sexual encounters may come naturally for some men, romantic interactions between those same men and other guys may not be nearly as instinctive.

Just Bi-Curious



Another tragic story, but I'm posting for another reason. Every time I go to a LGBT media conference, the B's always complain about how they're not given equal representation in media coverage. I'm always confused by what they mean by this exactly because when they're, say, getting married to a same-sex person I think the news is "G" or "L." And when they're having children -- or anything -- with someone of the opposite sex, I think the news is heterosexual, so doesn't warrant mentioning that they also like to have sex with people of the same sex. Here's an example finally where being bi is relevant, but I'm guessing it's not what they were hoping for. Can anyone explain other ways the media can have more representation of bisexuals without it being gratuitous? Cynthia Nixon actually is bisexual and nearly twisted herself into a pretzel not using the term, so that didn't help.

Tom Daley Isn't Bisexual: "I Am a Gay Man Now"


I know gay men around the world are collectively saying "I told you so" today, but ... we told you so. Now before you get your panties in a twist, I do believe bisexuality exists. But I'm also not stupid. Read HERE.
