OMG, so Buffy goes both ways, now?

According to this strange article, yes she does.  And it's weird how, after ONE night spending it with another girl, she's gay, and not bi. No wonder men are freaky about one night stands with other guys: it automatically makes them gay! Oh noez!

Oh, and this has to do with the Season Eight comic books being planned out by Joss Whedon. Does this mean she and Willow are finally going to get it on, too? That would be something.

*Exactly*!

I think it's strange: I think, if you're the type who has some enjoyment from being with either gender (male or female, or both!) that doesn't mean you're Gay.

There are one or two folks on my flist who are admittedly bisexual, which to me, is not the same as Gay or Het only.

Maybe guys are trained to think that as soon as they've had relations with another guy, they're gay, no two ways about it, and the women are just a side-dish. If that.

Maybe because it's 'cool' to be gay but not bi? It's all too confusing for my poor head.

I think it's that "being a man" is strictly defined as being heterosexual. Any man who fails to completely be heterosexual gets shunned into the defective male camp - the "gay" camp.

I'm not expressing this well. If you think of orientation only as orientation, it's logical to call someone who sleeps with both genders "bisexual". But if you're thinking of orientation as your ticket to male privilege, you're either "in" or you're "out."

That makes sense. I suppose by extending that logic, all men *wish* that their women were sleeping with other women, if only so that they can get in on the 'fun'.
