- Yes, it certainly seemed like this when I was growing up, and I found it
- very confusing. People seem to assume that whatever your sexuality, you
- are supposed to feel differently toward men and women. How confusing this
- is for those of us who don't!
-
- At least these days, people have at least heard of bisexuality.

- Well, if you don't , you don't. I guess the really cool way to come out
- would be to drop appropriate stuff into the conversation. Or you could
- mention involvement in some gay-related political organization, hoping
- this would bring the conversation around to the point where you could
- come out.

- Notice I haven't done any of this myself. I'm not out at all to my group
- at work (not yet, anyway). I don't, however, view Stratus as a particularly
- open and accepting company.
