What an odd world we live in where a woman can have a faithful same sex relationship for years but still be accused of being heterosexual because she identifies as bisexual, but when a man holds his friend’s hand or kisses him drunkenly, the very same people can declare him “obviously gay” …
By redefining every openly bisexual woman as a lesbian no matter what they say with their own two lips, and shushing bisexaul people out of a debate which is actually about them as well as about gay people, an important point about LGB pride gets lost …
When bisexuals speak about “choice” we don’t mean that we “chose” to be bisexaul, or that gay people could “choose” to be straight. We mean that some of us do have the “choice” of an opposite/[Ed Note: different] sex partnership, but so what? We want to be with the person we love, not the person that lets us claim straight privilege.
