Thank you for posting a "everyone is bisexual" post. I haven't had a chance to flame someone for being ignorant in a long time. People that say "everyone is bisexual" are trying to make bisexuals disappear. If "everyone is bisexual" then bisexuality doesn't need to be talked about. If "everyone is bisexual" then we can ignore bisexuals, pretend they don't exist, and forget about them. The reality is that bisexuals do exist. And guess what? The gay and lesbian community should be scared. You see, everyone thinks that bisexuals are just part of the g/l movement. They aren't. Yes, our legislative goals overlap, but only because you don't know us well enough. The reality is that you should be so damn scared of bisexuals that if you threw away your Freudian theories and picked up on the academic and political writings from THIS CENTURY you'd be unable to sleep at night. Let me put it in simple terms. The g/l movement is dead meat and when they self-destruct, the bisexuals will rule. The g/l rhetoric has, since the 1970's, stated "we're born this way" and begged for protections based on that. "We can't change it! Poor poor us! We're so fucked up we need government protections!" The problem with this argument is that it is self-hating. "Oh poor, poor us!" is like saying "If we weren't defective we'd be straight 'cause straight is great!" In the next 10-20 years genetic research will find the cause of homosexuality is... oh shit... wait... there isn't really a genetic cause... because homosexuality doesn't completely exist it's a social construct and ... well, there's this one gene, no... a pair... no... a group of genes and they don't "cause" homosexuality they just are an indicator... like having a certain gene doesn't give you MS, it just makes you're more likely to get it. And there are social factors. What you eat, how you live. Oh shit! Homosexuality isn't a concrete thing that can be measured! If it can't be measured it can't be proven and if it can't be proven we can't make laws about it! And slowly over time, all this "born this way" legislation will crumble. One my one the courts will overturn bits and pieces until they might as well not exist. And all those self-hating homosexuals that cried "poor me! poor me! i'm a defective human" will be so embarassed about the badly written legislation that they passed. And someone will realize that for decades the g/l community as been ignoring anthropologists who have been pointing out that "gay" an an identity only exists in the US and Europe. It is a completely foreign concept in latino and african cultures... who have same-sex sex activity that is not anything like what "the west" refers to as "being gay". Oops! That's what you get for ignoring hundreds of social scientists when making over-reaching claims about genetics. Oh the embarassment! And then the bisexuals will pull out all the articles and thesis' written in the 1990s and 2000s that refused to be self-hating and instead said, "We're fucking who we want, because freedom means we should be able to do that. We're loving who we want because freedom means we should be able to do that. Pursuit of happiness and all that, damn it!" Non-genetic things can be protected as "civil rights": Things like religion, political party, military status, and such. And then we'll pass laws that don't say, "us poor homosexuals are defective, and need protections based on genetics" but "we're proud bi, non-bi, non-labelling, and kinsey this and kinsey that and kinsey all over the place and we deserve civil rights because we should be able to make a CHOICE. Yes, some of us feel it's biologically determined, but its their right to CHOOSE to feel that way." And we'll write legislation that is in the same vein as laws that protect people for having made the choices that they want (like religion, military status, etc.). Because true sexual freedom means being able to follow your preferences whether that's because its your orientation or just 'cause it feels right. Which leads me to an interesting little note. Once bisexuals have taken over, we'll laugh and say things that make gays invisible. Because in reality, real gays are something like 1-2% of our world. Such a small percentage, making you invisible will be easy. Bisexuals are more like 90% of the world. We rule! When people try to come out as "gay" we'll just smile knowingly and say, "everyone's a little gay" and make them feel like shit. But for now, we'll just ignore you. Mister Tim Lieder. Starting... right... now!
