Conte d’Été (Éric Rohmer, 1996)

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

“It’s one thing to be bisexual and quite another to live as a bisexual person, to make that space in the world for yourself every day, to consciously work to blend those feelings and relationships. It’s a real charge… when I can do it.”

- Billy Jones, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out

Ariel Rebel and Nikita Bellucci

“(Bisexual) stereotypes result from the ambiguous position of bisexuals, poised as we are between what currently appear as two mutually exclusive sexual cultures, one with the power to exercise violence repression against the other.”

- Lisa Orlando, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out

“While my feelings of sexual attraction toward a man may or may not occur concurrently with feelings of attraction for a woman, I recognize that those sexual and emotional feelings don’t belong to different “selves” (a homosexual self and a heterosexual self) but rather to my one, evolving self.”

- Ann Fox, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out

“Although bisexuals have always been part of lesbian and gay movements and communities, they have often not been visible as bisexuals in these groups. Consider, for instance, these little-known historical facts:

A bisexual man was one of the key organizers of the first national March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1979. He also cofounder the National Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gays and led a delegation of black gays to meet with White House staff while Carter was President.

A bisexual Washingtonian was one of the first women to write about living women in the national feminist news journal, off our backs, in 1972.

It was a bisexual man who conceived and spearheaded the successful national “gaycott” of Florida orange juice in response to Anita Bryant’s homophobic “Save Our Children” campaign in Dade County, Florida, in the late 1970s.

A lesbian-identified bisexual ex-suburban housewife ran for Vice President on a bisexual/lesbian/gay civil rights platform during the 1984 Democratic Party convention in San Francisco.

In May 1989, a bisexual veteran from New England, representing the National Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Veterans Association, was the first out-of-the-closet veteran invited to testify before Congress on behalf of all lesbian, gay, and bisexual veterans.

But even in these high-profile “out” positions, bisexuals often continued to be perceived as gays and lesbians by both the gay rights movement and the rest of society.”
