I might have been too overly dramatic for effect in making the race comparison. It was a cheap and handy analogy aimed for emotional effect, but one I'm hesitant to edit and withdraw or the thread gets kinda weird to follow. Also think I mis-read what Mrs Indy was saying and maybe took it defensively?

Regardless, it is refreshing and encouraging to hear these opinions... I'd normally fall on my sword and figure we had mis-read ques and statements regarding an anti-bi-male bias. But I've had the issue slapped our faces pretty directly -- not through this site, BTW. The animosity can get too tangible to avoid sometimes.

Specific example -- about 2 weeks ago we were chatting on-line with a couple from out-of-state. Just the usual exchange of pleasantries and polite banter, nothing sexual. About 1/2 hour into the chat the other female suddenly disappeared and the male says something to the effect of "We just looked at your profile again. Saw that you say bi-curious. We do not play with faggots." Wow.... ahhh... Ok.

Its that level of animosity that illustrates for us that it is a big issue for some people, not just a selective option. Because of that I'd be kinda reserved about touching a male in a club, even as a pat on the back thing meant non-sexually. We're the kind of people that occasionally touch people as we talk. Gentle touch on the shoulder, light poke on the hand, just spontaneous friendly contact is all, not sexuality in action. Maybe I'll stay safe and just stick to poking the ladies (giggle).
