and it seems all that was learned from that was to apply the same level of misinformation and bigotry to sexually fluid people.I know this to be an old, tired discussion, but I can't help but be resentful. What we have today in the U.S. in gay freedom and rights (I'm speaking for those of us who have always lived as gay men.) was hard earned and not without suffering on the part of those who lived through some very tough times.
A few of us had the support of our family and straight friends as we buried our partners from AIDS, healed in a hospitals after being beaten within an inch of existence by xenophobes, or lost the security of jobs because of our sexual preference. But many of us were cast out, shunned, and disowned.
Today, I have many acquaintances were married most of their lives. They've come out after the wife died, the kids were grown and gone, they're bored with their sham marriages, or it's now convenient to do so.
Its been said on this thread several times - saying some people are sexually fluid does not mean all people are sexually fluid.
Recognizing and representing sexual fluidity
a) is barely happening
b) has no impact on any other person's rights unless you can't make the distinction between "some" and "all".
