If you can look at this and say the media is not controlled by people who want to keep you docile and ignorant, I don’t know what else to tell you.

1. Respect other people’s identities. Don’t say that “everyone’s really bisexual.” Don’t say that bisexual people are somehow more evolved. Think of how frustrated you feel when you hear someone tell you that there is no such thing as a bisexual, or that bisexuals are really lesbians or gay men in transition, or that we are really heterosexual tourists out for sexual adventure at the expense of lesbians and gay men.

2. Don’t raise your own self-image at the expense of other people. Examples of bad ideas taken from real life: a t-shirt that says “Monosexuals bore me;” a button that says “Gay is good but bi is best.” Please.

The Daily Show went to the Republican National Convention. Jessica was great. The situation was tragic.

Overheard in an Airport Café

Yesterday in the airport I was sitting at an Au Bon Pain, waiting (I do a lot of that).

At the table next to me were four female law students. Their animated conversation about law school and Citizens United floated in and out of my attention as I worked on my laptop.

Two left, and the two remaining began discussing their personal lives. One said that she was dating a guy she liked quite a bit. In the three years prior, she mentioned casually, she had dated only women. Of course, this got my attention!

After some deliberation, I introduced myself and handed her a copy of Bi Women as I left my table, saying that I couldn’t help but overhear the last part of her conversation and thought this might interest her.

I walked off, leaving her holding Bi Women and smiling.
