fair enough...but i guess i think about it in comparision. between here and the average conversation on the street...and i feel safer being out here. not to mention that what is supposed to be queer community is often homonormative...
the thing that i have noticed most in recent past is a really strange and possibly damaging discourse around female bisexuality, that assumes that women somehow "naturally" make out with eachother at the drop of a hat, and that there's got to be some secret for a straight man to get in on this action. it's trivalizing and really sort of gauche....but this i suppose is the blessing of being a man here: my sexuality is almost never portrayed as being that of object, but rather actor. i can like a man or a woman...as long as i'm playing/performing "masculinity."
