Baby, I'm Amazed By You

Usually, I write my articles a few weeks in advance. This gives me the time to do a little research, get my thoughts together, read it over, and polish it.

Not this time. The lady is PISSED.

I belive I've talked about this before. Actually, I think it was my first article. How bisexuals are sometimes looked down on by heterosexuals and homosexuals alike. And it's not just us, I know that transgenders are sometimes looked down on as well.

But I actually ran across an "Anti-Bisexual" club online today. I'm not posting the link, because that would give it publicity it does not deserve. It was a group run by gay people that proclaimed that bisexuals are fence sitters, immoral and untrustworthy. It invited bisexuals to come and debate those statements, and then shot them down with, "Well, in my experience..." or, "All the bisexuals I know..."

Guess what? I don't know EVERY SINGLE bisexual in the world, do you? No one ever wants to hear about all the straight men and women I know that are cheating on their partners. And they DEFINITELY don't want to hear about the lesbians I know that are unfaithful. (Yes, lesbians can cheat. I know, I didn't believe it either. But it's possible.)

There is nothing more pathetic than someone clinging to an aging stereotype. I've learned that the world is very, very large, with infinite possiblities. At the same time, it's very, very small, with nothing new under the sun.

I've been told to "let it go", or "ignore it". I've also been told that if I wasn't so "out", then I wouldn't have to deal with comments like this. No one ever tells someone, "If you weren't so "out" about your heterosexuality, then maybe women wouldn't make all of those "men are jerks" jokes around you. Don't talk about being straight, and nothing bad will happen."

So, in order to live a stereotype-free life, I just have to keep quiet about most of it. Since when did repression become the way to go?

After getting into yet ANOTHER fight with a lesbian online that was spouting off about how her ex girlfriend left her for a man, so therefore all bisexuals are bad, bad girls (did these women ever stop to think that maybe the reason some of these women left was because...well, all these women did was whine and complain? Or because they were constantly waiting for them to slip up and go back to those "heterosexual tendencies"? I'm sure there are some unfaithful bi women out there, but there are also some annoying lesbians. None of my lesbian friends, though.) I took some time offline to think about things. Until now, when people told me they doubted their sexuality because of all the negativity it brings with it, or they hid in the closet to avoid hurt feelings, I could sympathize, but I couldn't really relate. Hey, if a guy asks for a 3some, I turn him down, and he says, "Well, don't you bi chicks dig 3somes?" I can laugh about it. Who cares? But when the women I march with, write about, and stand up for want nothing to do with me...that hurts. And I'm getting tired of it.
