Howdy pardners!
The topic for this Monday night is The B in LGBT, meaning all things bisexual, bicurious, and bifriendly. Some things we may discuss include perceived stereotypes, prevalance and Kinsey Reports, male vs. female bisexuality, biphobia, and much more.
With all this in mind we have a handful of stellar links for you all.

4. Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited
Yeah, and there’s also this…

Check out the resources, think up some interesting thoughts or questions, and you’ll be more than prepped for Monday night
See you all on the dusty trail hombres,
your uRap facilitators
I thought we as a people had an informal policy to ignore the “b”? Its just there in our acronym pro forma isn’t it? lol
I think it’s a little sad that the most well known bisexual person these days is Tila Tequila, especially considering that her fame exclusively comes from the novelty of bisexuality and that a reality show was made around it. Although in truth, this shouldn’t come as a complete surprise in a media driven society.
Does Tila Tequila do a good job as representative of all bisexual persons? Should she have to at all? Is it true that ultimately there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
it’s such a tug of war. seriously. to be completely PC, i’d have to say that i don’t really reserve the right to rate bisexuals on some kind of arbitrary set of criteria – “to each his/her/hirs own” and all that jazz. more than that, i still stand by that theory that the world would be a better place if everyone was bi, but personal conflict arises when i think back to those awkward middle/high school years, when faux-lesbians took sexuality as a fashionable or purposely controversial thing to do.
i dunno, i might be ranting. it’s really not my place to determine the genuineness of someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity, but i do despise the fact that LGBTs that tend to really strike a chord with mass audiences are the ones that take the LGBT culture to the extreme.
