| My orientation? Bi, too, though a friend cheerfully dubbed me 'omnisexual' when I told him that if there where more than two genders I'd probably like them to. Another time, I mentioned to a friend that I'd stopped seeing the girl I'd been dating and I was now dating a nice guy, and he laughed and said that was so me. Lately I've actually been going every-other.
I agree that it's not so much gender that draws me to a person as much as their personality. I like people who are different, who are really themselves. I've fallen in love with people of both genders.
It makes me sad that, a lot of the time, bisexuality doesn't get much respect. I find that many people don't quite buy it, like we're mythical beings that don't really exist, or we're trying to be trendy or cute, or we're gay and in denial, or we're just being selfish.
One thing in particular bugs me: the 'bi curious' thing. Why do I have to have sex with both genders as some sort of right of passage into The Kingdom of Swinging Both Ways? When someone brings this up, the converstation tends to goes something like this:
Me: "So you're straight, right?" (it's usually straight people who bring this up.)
Friend: "Yes."
Me: "OK, now, before you had sex, where you straight curious?"
And we all giggle and we move on to more genial topics like, oh, music or food.
