This is the headline from an article in The New York Times (link below). Being bi is culturally difficult. Straight people enjoy all the advantages of being a part of the dominant culture. Gay people have a robust culture that is growing all the time. There is no support system for bi people and many people seem to think that it's just a stopping off point on the way to being fully homosexual. I think the our language serves us poorly here. I see the word "gay" as being a cultural/social orientation and the word "homosexual" as being a sexual/affectional orientation. The same construct applies to "straight" and "hetrosexual". Using the words this way makes it all easier for me to understand. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/23/health/23bisexual.html?_r=1& hp
