This is not the post I intended to make today.
Yesterday I was strolling through the Boystown neighborhood, which (as you might guess by the name) is THE prominent gayborhood of Chicago. I stopped in a local bookstore, and as I was browsing, I turned a corner and found the gay and lesbian section of the store:
An ENTIRE ROOM of books! It was about one-sixth of the total store area. Which, of course, is awesome. (The lesbian-to-gay ratio was about 1:4, which doesn't surprise me given that I was in BOYStown, although there were all-inclusive subsections like "Gay and Lesbian Non-Fiction" so the ratio could have been even higher.)
Then, tucked away discreetly on one of the lower shelves, I found the bisexual subsection:
Three books. THREE. o.O
If I were good with words and speeches and stuff, I would use this as a jumping-off point for an essay about the invisibleness and/or outright scorn of bisexuality within the larger LGBT culture. But I am not good with words, so I will just point to these pictures and go "WTF?!" and make incredulous faces. At least they acknowledged that I exist?
And because I hate making posts that are entirely negative, here, have some pictoral evidence ofwhy I should NEVER be allowed back into Canada. Because this is what happens:
