Is not the Metro a good indicator, though - despite the fact that it is utterly unscientific - of what a not-inconsiderable number of people do think of bisexuals? The two statements made in the Metro (either that bisexuality does not exist, or that it only exists in phases, and is entwined with unfaithfulness/a lack of self-knowledge) are two opinions shared by not only a large proportion of people who identify as heterosexuals, but also (as a full afternoon's discussion at the Oxford QR kicked home to me) amongst people who identify as homosexuals - and not only amongst the unwashed masses who read the Metro on their blue-collared commute, but amongst people who perhaps should be a little more enlightened? Reading articles like this makes me wonder if organisations like Stonewall are perhaps going to have to concentrate their fire in the future to overcome what seems, at the moment, to be a much greater level of prejudice (at least in the UK) towards those people who self-identify as bisexual. love C.H. PS on a happier note, let's do lunch at some point this week or next?
