“The fear is that if so many of us who are bisexual are also, and have also been, and will also be its (supposed) opposite, then bisexuality cannot exist ‘in its own right.’

To see that bisexuality exists as a real, distinct sexuality is essential for our survival and well-being - but it can also lead into a bisexual orthodoxy about what it means to be a ‘real bisexual’ which is alienating and destructive.”

“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.”

“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.”
