To re-post from above.

I know a whole bunch of people who came through a crucible at the same time, we were part of the anarchist/left communist milieu in the SF Bay Area in the mid/late '70s. Bisexuality was put forth by many in that milieu as being the norm, and someone was deemed not truly liberated till acknowledging this "fact." I went through some of the same pressures in the anarchist/post-modernist Berkeley scene in the '90s. Anyone who cannot accept my heterosexuality can kindly fuck off.

In other words, wasn't like i haven't been in situations in which bisexuality was not only not only NOT proscribed but actively promoted and indeed promoted as a NORM.

I understand; that's all been irrelevant to my journey...I've always been guided inwardly.

Me too. It's still a fact that i was pressured.

To clarify, my "kindly fuck off remark" was in the context of what i experienced in those communities and may experience in dissent communities in the future. Not at all personally directed at either you or Iva.
