Formersnag,

Given that prior to 1955 homosexuality was illegal, the number of persons "out of the closet" was smaller. Assuming that the number of homosexuals was lower is just bad maths.

The 1 in 10 figure however, is an exaggeration. More accurate surveys indicate that it is less than 1 in 20.

Cut out the intellectualisation crap.
Basically and honestly it is no different to a form of betting at the TAB where you can have an each way bet.

Thanks for the feedback. It is as polemic as I have come to expect from OLO. I gratefully accept and appreciate the support (thanks Sam - great name, btw) and am bemused by the dissent and flippant skepticism. The only think I can say in response to those who would presume me to be either disloyal or a degenerate, my husband would be only too pleased to set you straight(no pun intended)on both counts - and he knows me better than anyone. My article was about my capacity to pair-bond with either gender, it was not expounding the virtues of living in parallel sexual relationships with both sexes. This was the very myth I was hoping to dispell and yet, people want so desperately to link bisexuality with duplicity. Me thinks people doth protest (and project) way too much. :)

Look,guys,what's the problem here?
There are men living with women even as I speak...and that's ok if they are married.It is still ok if they are not.
There are women living with men even as this blog goes out ...and there are women living with women also. So WHAT. If they should choose to go one step further and get married in any way they choose we shouldnt stand in their way. It isnt our business but theirs. Why make it an issue.
It's nobody's bloody business but theirs. Butt out. Let people get on with their lives.
More important than all this bickering is love. Why does it rattle anyone how it is given and found.
Get away and find something else to do.
