To love women
is holy and holy is the free love of men
and precious to live taking whichever comes
and precious to live unmated as a peachtree

Gay-o-Meter:
How gay are you? (I am apparently fifty-three percent gay.
Interesting)
The Queer Resources Directory
has tons of articles on every queer issue you could conceivably
want to be informed on.
Bi the Way (why does everything
related to bisexuality have to use puns in the title?) - seems to be
down right now.
What
is Bisexuality?, by Kathy Labriola - an article defining bisexuality.
(I had no idea anyone had come up with a list of all the different kinds
of
bisexuals!)
"Look, I know I'm homophobic, but not about gay guys;
they don't bother me at all.
It's straight guys who don't know they're gay.
They fuck my shit right up."
- John Hall
Okay, so I was looking in a college bookstore the other day and I came
across the section with books on GLBT people, which was not called
"Gay/Lesbian Studies," as it is in most bookstores, but instead was
labelled "Alternative Lifestyles."
What's up with that expression? It's an annoying euphemism which people
use when they're scared of actually using the word gay. It implies that we
are outside the norm and are going to remain that way. It emphasizes that
we are essentially different and have made a choice to be that way.
But I like having alternatives. I like having choices. Our society needs
more alternatives in all aspects of life, rather than blind socialization
to a problematic status quo.
Yay alternatives!
(Speaking of choices and alternatives, here's a rant on Being Single.)
