What about you????

“I don’t like gay and lesbian people’s ignorance about bisexuals. It’s rare to find a politically savvy bisexual person who isn’t involved in the gay and lesbian community, but many gays and lesbians have no knowledge of bisexual people. We’re still laughed at, trivialized, seen as purveyors of disease, seen as riding on the coattails of the gay rights movement, as if we weren’t there all along.

To me, these attitudes toward us come from ignorance and self-hatred. If somebody feels really good about who they are, they don’t feel threatened by what other people are…

Heading and saying “gay, lesbian, and bisexual” is music to my ears. Because the more unity we achieve, the more we put aside petty differences, the more strength we have.”

“People think married bisexuals can vanish within the heterosexual community any time we choose, and to a certain extent this is true, but only at the cost of burying our true selves. Many people can ‘pass as normal’, but this can cause more distress than satisfaction.”

“Sadly, there is a certain necessity, a certain self-protection in silence. Statistically, bisexual women are nearly twice as likely to experience domestic violence… The trope of heterosexual men asking for three ones with their bisexual partners is an eye roll, an annoyance, but this kind of thinking, this equating bisexuality with complete sexual openness and desire to please men, possibly so they won’t leave you, can be much more serious.”
