Biku

(original: soc.bi FAQ, 10 April 1995 version)

				  A1
			    bisexual means
		      attracted towards members
			 of more than one sex

				  A2
			   or maybe someone
		      who feels the potential to
			   be so attracted

				  A3
			    'a bisexual',
		      'bisexual', 'bi': are they
		       the same thing? sort of

				  A4
			  I'm just attracted
		      to motos/motss:  am I bi?
			 could be; you decide

				  A5
			 aren't you all just
		   going through a phase, confused?
		      no; some change with time

				  A6
			 bi just means gay in
		      denial, huh?  no, it's not
			  an 'easy way out'

				  A7
			   are bis equally
		      attracted to motos, motss?
			 some, yes; many, no

				  A8
			 do you have to have
		       lovers of both sexes to
			be bi?  No, you don't

				  A9
			    can bisexuals
		      be monogamous?  like most,
			some are, some aren't

				 A10
			    monogamous and
		     bi -- a contradiction?  It's
		      how you _are_ that counts

				 A11
			   everyone is bi!
		  no, you have to believe what folk
			 say about themselves

				 A12
			  bi and gay issues:
			 All just homophobia?
			     biphobia too

				 A13
			 from lesbians, gays?
		  because bis can 'hide', or 'trade
			  on het privilege'

				 A14
			 so no choice of sex?
		    some of us have tried to, but
			why should we have to?

				 A15
			should I come out bi?
		      the decision is yours, but
			 we can give support

				 A16
			  is there really a
			bi community?  slowly
			   we draw together

				 A17
			bi-friendly places --
		     do they exist?  yes, a few,
		       and some groups as well

				 A18
			  if you want a book
		  there's lots; or you could try 'Bi
			   Any Other Name'

				 A19
			the Kinsey scale goes
		  from zero (straight) to six (gay);
		       some don't like it much
