It should also be clear that the are the views of one person, and are termed not only by my homosexualy, but my beg whe, male, middle class.

The reason so few of are bisexual is bee society ma such a big stk about homosexualy that we got forced to seeg ourselv as eher straight or non-straight.
Also, many gays go turned off to the ways men are supposed to act wh women and vice-versa, which is pretty fucked-up. Gays will beg to turn on to women when 1) 's somethg that we do bee we want to, and not bee we should, and 2) when women's liberatn chang the nature of heterosexual relatnships.
We ntue to ll ourselv homosexual, not bisexual, even if we do make wh the oppose sex also, bee sayg “Oh, I'm Bi” is a p-out for a gay. We get told 's OK to sleep wh guys as long as we sleep wh women, too, and that's still puttg homosexualy down. So gay women are gog to see thgs differently om gay men; they are gog to feel put down as women, too.

Liberatn for gay people is fg for ourselv how and wh whom we live, stead of measurg our relatnship parison to straight on, wh straight valu. Gay ‘stereotyp’: The straight's image of the gay world is fed largely by those of who have vlated straight rol.
There is a tenncy among ‘homophile’ groups to plore gays who play visible rol — the queens and the nelli.
