“(Bisexual) Stereotypes Result From The Ambiguous Position Of Bisexuals, Poised As We Are Between What

If you give $100 to a homeless person, they'll be in shock by your generosity. They'll feel guilty taking such a ridiculously large amount of money from you.

But if you give $1,500 to your landlord every month, next year they'll demand more unless the law literally says they can't.

Meanwhile, people demonize the homeless person as a "freeloader" while respecting the landlord.

“But if it rejects us, the gay movement loses more than numbers and strategic force. It also loses another opportunity, similar to that offered by other “sexual minorities,” to re-examine its commitment to sexual freedom rather than to mere interest-group politics. What would it mean for the gay movement to acknowledge that some people experience their sexuality as a lifelong constant, others as a series of stages, some as a choice, and many as a constant flux? It would certainly mean a drastic reworking of the standard categories which have grounded gay politics over the last decade. And it might mean a renewed commitment to the revolutionary impulse of gay liberation, which, believing that homosexual desire is a potential in everyone, insisted that “gay” is a potentially universal class, since sexual freedom for all people is the ultimate goal of our struggle.”

i suffer from 'men are hotter banged up' disease. unfortunately there is no cure.

I just want to slap a pretty boy in the face and have him thank me. Dick hard, eyes soft and wanting as he bites his lip. Face reddened from my handprint.

You like that, don’t you, you little slut?

“We were told we [could] only talk about the effects on our lives of being attracted to other women or femmes because “no one is oppressed for being in a heterosexual relationship.” We were accused of internalized homophobia… or being the reasons lesbians are fetishized and making lesbians look bad - that bisexual women were the reason why straight men thought that lesbians were sexually available… I never understood it, but it came up a lot… If you didn’t seem like you were a lesbian, or could be confused for one, then your position was a lot weaker. Your opinion didn’t quite matter as much. You were less likely to be one of authority in the group. Your loyalty to the community was more likely to get questioned. You were more likely to get accused of your ideas being part of the problem. Any time something came up, and you talked about it from the perspective of not being a lesbian, you were more likely to be told that your need to bring that up was part of the problem of why progress wasn’t being made.”
