Just so you know I am Bi

And its highly overrated...




How was gay pride for everyone?

I'm bi and no woman wants to date me :P

its kinda strange that a community that is itself oppressed will turn around and opress someone else...for exactly the same reason...your sexuality is not just like mine..so there must be something wrong with you...


SIGH!!!

everything has to fit neatly into a group: race, ethnicity, sexuality. etc. No one is ever really one thing...and we have to force ourselves into these tiny check boxes of male/female, black/white, straight/gay...modernity sucks someitmes :crazy:

I'm primarily strait and in a committed hetero relationship (getting married) with alternate prior experiences (that he knows about), but I prefer men in general and am very in love with my guy. Women are so complex (nor do I want one-night stands) and my life is so busy that I just don't have the energy. I have had women friends I thought about it with, but I didn't want to wreck the friendship since when those lines were crossed, it always seemed to do so.

Being a 2 on the Kinsey Scale is a funky place to be.

happily married to a man, but have had relationships with both genders.

I was married before when I was much younger and he had so many hang-ups this wasn't even explored. My relationship now is much more honest and egalitarian, so it's something that could be a part of my life to some extent if I choose to. Sometime I may (very honestly with him if I did and we've talked about this), but it's just not something pressing right now for me.

Anyway, you could tell me to mind my own business, but I'm curious how other women in my shoes handle this stuff?

Sorry I was not more clear.

I personally (and my husband as well) believe in the monogamy of our marriage. I am not going to lie, I am very attracted to both men and women, but I took a vow and will not act on anything extramaritally. My love for my husband trumps any sexual attraction I feel elsewhere. YMMV, though.

Right from the beginning, my guy knew my feelings and told me that for him, it would be ok if I were always honest because it's a part of me that he could not fulfill. If that ever changed in his view, it's something I would never even consider because my love for him and our relationship is way more important than anything.
Makes for fun fantasies sometimes between us though. ;)

I am maried with the same understanding, but have not met the right woman. So, no help here. I will PM you if this changes!LOL

Why can't we meet women that can handle the situation without getting all freaked out?

i.e. They don't just want occasional fun with a woman already in a relationship with a man.
It is a quandry. :(

HOW COME (I'm tipsy, sorry) EVERY woman that is with me is.......ummm.....NOT familar with what women want?? (if you understand me; not trying to get the thread locked)
I mean, really.

And lots of people seem to think being bi means you'll date a man and a woman at the same time. Duh. For me it just means I have the ability to fall in love with either sex. But I still want a long-term, monagamous relationship!

DAMMIT! :-)

but otherwise it was fair. Found a new support group to visit thanks to Pride too. :thumbsup:

As for the float, it had a balloon... I'm glad the media missed it because it wouldn't have helped our cause if they showed it on evening news for all to see...

at least straight men aren't terrified of you :evilfrown:

:hug:

:P

Trust me on this. It may not be fair, but there it is.

Redstone

Mist people know I'm bi too. Just means that you can be rejected by everyone and that both straights and gays think you're a freak.

But Pride was good. I only participated in 1 event, a fundraiser for the LGBT Community Center. I missed the parade for the first time.

But the event was awesome. They had cool stuff for my son, and I met up with tons of friends there.

I also was the high bidder on a basket of "Pleasure items" at the Silent Auction.

:evilgrin:

Bye bi!

and gays think of you as partially closeted...

the pleasures!

Don Goldwater

Not so long ago, the GOP was desperately trying to make illegal immigration a felony (see Idiots 241). But now Republican gubernatorial candidate Don Goldwater has come up with an even better plan - one that the whole nation is going to love! Goldwater's solution is so perfect that we really should find a worthy name for it. Let's see... it should finally stop immigrants from entering the country illegally, so let's call it "Don Goldwater's Final Solution." According to the Associated Press:


Don Goldwater, nephew of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, caused an international stir this week when EFE, a national news agency of Spain, quoted him as saying he wanted to hold undocumented immigrants in camps to use them "as labor in the construction of a wall and to clean the areas of the Arizona desert that they're polluting."

Labor camps, eh? I guess if it's good enough for Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Il, it's good enough for the U.S.A.

But according to Goldwater, these aren't really labor camps at all - this is simply a "work program" in which immigrants are forced to perform labor and get nothing in return. Er, while they're living in a camp. See? World of difference.

Immigrants enter the country illegally because they can find work, and are drastically underpaid by unscrupulous corporations looking for cheap labor. Goldwater's plan would simply cut out the middleman and force immigrants to work for nothing. I think there's a word for that, let me see here... ah yes:


slav · er · y n. The state of one bound in servitude as the property of a slaveholder or household.

Actually, come to think of it, that's not a bad idea. Perhaps Don Goldwater should expand upon his idea - instead of putting illegal immigrants in camps, why not hand one out to every household for personal use? They could perform menial labor around the house - cooking, cleaning, babysitting, etc. - and at night they could be chained up in the garden shed. Any escapees could be shot on sight by National Guard troops who are patrolling the streets enforcing the curfew.

Oh, didn't I mention the curfew? Well obviously we'll have to have a curfew.



Dick Cheney

The beauty of this whole labor camp idea is that it could be used as an effective tool against all kinds of troublemakers, not just illegal immigrants. Take Steven Howards, for example, who was arrested in the presence of Dick Cheney at an economic summit in Vail, Colorado, last week. What kind of mischief was Howards up to? According to the Secret Service, he "wasn't acting like the other folks in the area," and "his behavior and demeanor wasn't quite right."

The Secret Service declined to describe how the other folks in the area were acting, nor did they explain what "wasn't quite right" about Howards' demeanor. Nonetheless, according to the Vail Daily News, "officials are reviewing possible federal charges." Send him to the labor camps, I say! We can't have people going around acting differently when the vice president is in town. (Especially not the executive directors of established non-profit environmental organizations.)

But the good news is that Dick Cheney won't end up out of pocket while taking part in these distressing appearances where people occasionally act differently near him. This week he's going to be in Grand Island, Nebraska, to raise money for Adrian Smith, the Republican nominee for the 3rd Congressional District race, where taxpayers will be footing the bill for his security. Likewise, he was in Nashville last month for an event which raised a quarter of a million dollars "toward Republicans' efforts in the 2006 mid-term elections, along with campaigns to get out the vote." Taxpayers had to shell out for that one too.

But if you're a taxpayer who's concerned that Dick Cheney is taking your hard earned cash in order to raise money for Republican candidates and would like to show up at one of these events and let him know, be careful - apparently the First Amendment doesn't cover people who aren't "acting like other folks in the area" these days.

It's OK. You don't have to impress us with your liberal creds. You're accepted here. :hug:



























BTW, I think you may have posted in the wrong thread. :rofl:

:evilfrown: people somehow magically think we just have everyone falling in our laps, but usually men just wanna get us into 3somes and lesbians won't go near us. I slept with a gay friend last summer, and I changed her mind about bi girls. Luckily it didn't get wierd for either of us, since we weren't looking for relationships at that point so it was just good clean fun. I see you're from NY also Lioness :evilgrin:

I believe that was Ani DiFranco's response to the question whether she was bi-sexual.
