Bisexual; pg. 180

"Such a woman, however, might instead call herself bisexual because, despite a preference for women, she is still attracted to and has relationships with men" (Hafen, pg. 180). A bisexual can also be a man who loves both women and men and vice versa with a woman. The idea about bisexuals being more promiscuous is a rather ridiculous concept to even grasp that as a factual idea. There was a class in which I took, and at the time it was called English 101. I wrote my last and second essay about the word bisexuality. What I believe is the key behind all people of any orientation is that there is a scale which is called the Kinsey scale and basically what this scale does is demonstrate that a heterosexual may be predominantly heterosexual but on some level they may have some to equal amounts of homosexuality and vice versa. The basic idea that people believe that bisexual people are the cause and spread of AIDS and HIV and other STD's is a common social stigma that is not even a true fact. Most researchers have identified that African Americans and especially women, tend to contract these STD's. So contrary to popular belief about bisexuals and homosexuality is completely untrue and that the propaganda used to discourage others about the GLBT community is all within a phobia of itself.
