The Bisexual Option
Bisexuals are often misunderstood and feel that they don’t belong as they are not truly accepted by straights or gays in most cases. To generalize, straights think we are gays in denial, while gays think we are gay but our ‘gaydar’ is off, so to speak. This book gives comfort to the bisexual who is looking for their identity and where they fit in the scheme of things.
