Let's Talk About Sexuality

Someone recently complained that I talk about being bisexual too much. It is pretty common to hear that people don't mind queers, as long as they don't have to listen to them talking about their sexuality or their relationships.

The thing is, though, that since people are assumed to be straight, if those of us who are not don't say anything to the contrary, we just help continue those assumptions, thereby making anything other than heterosexuality seem strange or uncommon. I have no interest in boring people with talk about sexuality or my feelings or anything, but I think we all should have an interest in making others more aware of the incredible variation that exists in human sexuality.
