sebastienneSo, bisexuality doesn't exist. It says so in the paper. The "expert" Dr Qazi Rahman (from that hallowed institution, the University of East London, no less) tells us:
"Those who don't believe in a gay gene ask: "What about the bisexuals?". It's quite controversial as to whether bisexuality exists. Some studies say it doesn't and I don't think it does either. Sexual orientation is an 'either, or' phenomenon for both genders, more so for men."
1. Sexual orientation binaries are absolute, but more absolute for some than for others.
2. Bisexuality does not exist because some studies say so and I, who am not bisexual, proclaim that it is the case.
3. We can ignore the people who claim to be bisexual, they must all be deluded or greedy or indecisive.
Also, apparently, "Bisexual people have gay and heterosexual phases. George Melly, the jazz musician, is bisexual. He was gay, then married and had affairs." - Prof. Jeffrey Weeks. Because obviously, if we're in a relationship with someone of gender x, we are, at that time, only attracted to members of gender x.. (heh, guess that makes me practically asexual).. not to mention the use one person's experiences as a model for all non-monosexual orientations...
OK, so I know I was bitching about the invisibility of spectrum sexualities, but this is just taking the piss. E-mail health@ukmetro.co.uk and let them know what you think about their printing this damaging bullshit.
