Slog - Comments on And Some People Think I Have a Problem With Bisexuality... http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/09/and_some_people_thin Christmas is coming! Well, that's what the publishing PR flacks stuffing our snail mail boxes with press packs about new releases keep telling us. And for the bisexuals with a sense of humor on your Christmas list—there are dozens on mine, Lord knows—can I suggest this new title? Schizophrenia: The Bearded Lady Disease. Author J. Michael Mahoney has a theory about bisexuality, one that is sure to amuse and delight bisexuals everywhere. From the press release: Mahoney has spent 36 years investigating these problems, and his conclusion is that severe unconscious bisexual conflict and confusion lie at the root of...

Everyone's a little crazy. And everyone's a little bi -- at least, if they needed to be.

Buy them some chocolate. Everyone likes that ...

Well, there ya have it.

The publisher is a vanity press. And the book itself is just a collection of quotes (as if "somebody said this" proves anything). Sad.

I'm as annoyed by bisexuals as much as the next guy, but schizophrenia? What a load of crap.

Bi now, gay later.

Peace.

Except that I'm legally batshit crazy. I think my bisexuality is the least of my worries and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my batshittedness.

I...I...I really have no more words.

Sigh. What a world.

Bi love allows me to offer both my flower and my seed. As it was in ancient times, so it is now. Bi-phobia is a cancer on both "hetero" and "homo" sexuals

Is it so bad to want to bang everything that walks? Sheesh!

Gay, bisexual and heterosexual are the best we've got so far to try and describe/understand something that's not so concrete.

I really tire though, of the hippy-esque, spritually-correct notion that bisexuality is "perfect". Get over yourself.
