I feel like there's some sort of evolution from "we need more people to be out!" to "we need to stop giving a fuck and just let everyone do who/what they want".
Portland sounds like maybe they are getting to the second. I dream about such places... and yet am oddly uncomfortable in them.
It's jealousy from being in a closet for too long and then suffering "bisexual erasure" because I am 80% gay (or a 5 or, purple, or cheese flavoured or whatever) but have only dated men. So fooling around with a couple women, even when it's incredibly meaningful (and hot) "doesn't count" because it's just something that straight chicks do at parties, right Katy Perry?
Queer is where I found my sexual-orientation home. It's roomy and flexible and it can change and it creates more questions than it answers.
Apologies for rambling, typoes, selfishness, and not-getting-it... I'm really late and it's still at school.
