I Really, Really Want To ... Take My Time.

“I see bisexuals as the wanderers, because we can traverse the ground of the female world and also of the male world. Being able to do that allows us to glean from both of those gendered experiences… We traverse wide territories, allowing for the depth of exploration that doesn’t exist when you stay in one place. That has both its stresses and its benefits. When you traverse a large ground, you get the depth of the experience, but a certain lack of security.”

- Lilith Finkler, Plural Desires: Writing Bisexual Women’s Realities

“To some extent most men, straight or gay, aren’t interested in what women like. Maybe gay men, because they sleep with men, think they no longer have to think about women’s sexuality. So maybe when they go to a club, and there are lesbians there who are very openly sexual… some think it’s disgusting, but a lot of others might find it erotic… I think women are more interested in male sexuality than men are interested in women’s.”

- ‘Hilary’, quoted by Nicola Field, Bisexual Horizons: Politics, Histories, Lives

"This book contains a queer scientist..."

"This book contains a trans adventurer..."

"This book has a bisexual detective..."

Okay, but is it good? Because as a member of the alphabet crowd, I don't care if it's lgbtq friendly when I'm gonna be bored shitless by a mediocre plot.

“Students also felt they needed to hide their bisexual identities in order to remain engaged in LGBTQ* campus spaces… Some students noted they didn’t even openly identify as bisexual within LGBTQ* campus spaces. They often felt more comfortable identifying as gay, lesbian, or queer instead of bisexual. Ashlynn falsely identified as a lesbian rather than bisexual in order to ‘avoid the additional stigma’. Similarly, Jeremiah and Sierra felt that openly identifying as gay and queer, respectively, was much easier than identifying as bisexual. Other students, like Rylee, chose to not identify as anything, avoiding disclosing their sexuality entirely, choosing not to answer questions about their sexuality, and not correcting inaccurate assumptions about their sexuality.”
