CNN's website features a really interesting article titled "The last person out of the closet? The bisexual male."
I appreciate that the article puts a human face and story to the often stigmatized notion of male bisexuality. I had a close friend who struggled tremendously with coming out as bisexual. From her I learned how unfortunately easy it is to overlook instances of biphobia in everyday life. Something as simple as saying "gay and lesbian community" and failing to mention the bisexual component can be hurtful. My friend's story sensitized me to this struggle as I hope this article's subjects do for others. I am impressed by CNN for running this article and hope that it opens up the conversation on biphobia in both the straight and queer communities.
