   I post at the beginning deliberately. I like it better. My software   
   works this way. Sorry to those who tweak.   
      
   It may sound too good, but it's real.  Some of the rants may be   
   unpolitic, non-pc, but every voice of non-hetero ilk is pretty much   
   welcome.  Yeah, you make some very good points.  Sometimes I assume   
   these points when I make such statements, othertimes I clarify them, but   
   it's all point of view.   
      
   Fact is, I have been discriminated against even within the 'community,'   
   enough that I've questioned if bisexuals are actually a part of that   
   community or not.   
      
   I am not a homosexual, which makes me different from them, but if I want   
   any rights I damn sure better stick close by.   
      
   It's easier to claim to be gay at work than bisexual, and I do so   
   whenever the situation warrants it.  I've learned to play my cards close   
   to my chest in work and business because you never know who you are   
   dealing with.   
      
   Thanks for replying and checking the site! Yes, it's really real.  I pay   
   all costs out of my pocket, which are very minimal, because as a system   
   administrator I know how to host a site.
