I've become extremely suspicious of LGBTQ 'allies'. I (cis bisexual man) recently dated a cishet woman who would constantly talk about her gay male friends, but when it came to embracing bisexuality in a potential partner she turned out to be insanely biphopic, with shades of homophobia (which somehow, though unsurprisingly, did not seem to bother her gay friends one bit). I say: show me your true colors before you earn the 'ally' badge.
Some days I really think there should be a boot camp for straights who want to date bisexuals/gay people, and if you wash out it goes on your permanent record.
And also an exploration of the really wacked out ideas that straight people have about queer sex, and why they so often see it as threatening if anyone they're involved with has had it. "a time bomb" indeed. He was the time bomb.

I just can’t imagine saying something so horrid about the mother of your children in a NATIONAL NEWSPAPER
I love absolutely everything about this!
Excellently well said.
