I recently told some friends of mine that I wanted to come out of the closet but a few reacted badly saying that I would get beat up and such. I have taken their advice and just telling people that I know will be good friends. It was published by Pocket Books in NY, publication date 1998. But for some people, sexual preference isn't as simple as straight or gay. Bisexuals are people who date both men and women, people who say they choose their partners based on attraction to the individual-not on gender.
Bisexuals spread disease no more than gay and straight people do.
I'm sure there are individuals out there who don't practice the safest sex, but you can't lump all of us into one group and call us disease-bearers. I don't, because it's hard enought to please one person at a time. Plus, that's like saying bisexuals can't be with one person at a time. Those of us who are into monogamy practice it. We're not biologically adulterers.
