   On Tue, 08 Jun 2004 11:09:33 -0700, Jon Doh babbled on about bipoly.org -  a   
   site for   
   bisexuals by bisexuals proclaiming:   
      
   > NO porn, banners, popups, bullsh*t.   
   >   
   > bipoly.org  - it's what bisexuals want it to be. Come participate.   
      
   Almost too fake to be true. But let's take a looksee:   
      
   For one thing it sounds like the title for a board game.   
   "FAQ" would stand for "Frequently Answered Questions" because the answers are   
   given, but   
   not the questions.   
      
   What you said about lesbians was troubling, however: "they're often jealous or   
   hateful of   
   the opposite sex." I don't really see this UNLESS they are still closeted or   
   just coming   
   out.  In time many lesbians acknowledge that men exist - like pocket lint -   
   and many   
   accept us guys are part of existence and others, not being attracted to guys -   
   have as   
   much use for us as pocket lint.  All in all, I find the lesbians that I know   
   have a common   
   link with the gay men that I know, and respect each other. As for me -- there   
   are few in   
   my circle of acquaintances that identify openly as being bisexual - maybe I'm   
   the only   
   one.  Some ask for clarification, eg. "How can you say you're bi if you're   
   married to a   
   female?"  And the straight people had more of a tenancy to think I was   
   "confused".   
   Confused is right. Confused as to why it should bother them one way or another.
