“I See Bisexuals As The Wanderers, Because We Can Traverse The Ground Of The Female World And Also

“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.”

- Felicity Cade, Bisexual Horizons: Politics, Histories, Lives

it's funny how tops/doms are viewed as insatiable forces of lust when it's so obvious that that actually describes most bottoms way better than most tops

“The person who believes (that there is no such thing as a distinct bisexual identity) does not deny the reality of bisexual experiences or feelings, but rather denies them any meaning by locating them as a temporary aberration in an otherwise heterosexual or homosexual individual.”

- Amanda Udis-Kessler, Bisexual Horizons: Politics, Histories, Lives

Sweet tongues duel

“For too long I allowed society, people, and institutions to take away big chunks of my life and happiness. Who the hell are these people anyway?

The truth is, I have a multitude of choices. I have my likes and dislikes, loves and turn-ons, hatreds and heart-throbs. I will never be pressured into giving up my heart and my lust and my unique self again. I’m back in my life and sharing my love.”

- Paul Haut, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out

“(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

“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.”
