I'm writing regarding your interview in the London Metro (24/7/06 edition) in the article "does a gay gene exist?". You are reported as suggesting that the existance of bisexuality is a matter of considerable debate, and that "some studies" had reported that it didn't - I was wondering if you could send me brief details of those studies, as the area is one of interest to me.
Also, you state that "Sexual orientation is an 'either, or' phenomena for both genders, more so with men." I was hoping that you could clarify that statement, as it seems logically impossible when worded in such a manner?
On a personal level, I would say that bisexuality most definately does exist, being bisexual myself, and also find that the way in which your statement was presented (although this isn't really your fault) made your opinions on the matter seem like an offensive denial of a percentage of people's sexuality - Whether you believe in bisexuality or not, you must surely recognise that many people identify as bisexuals, and without full context (ie: in the article) your views come across as very derisive.
