Good and bad articles about bi people

The good one first!

Dating tips for bisexuals, by a bisexual. Touches on special issues in an inclusive way. (Meaning, you could use this advice with straight or gay people.) Match.com has a biphobic reputation; I'm glad to see that they're trying to fix it.

The bad, I saw via blahflowers.

The Weekly Standard says bis want plural marriage.

WTF was up with that last article? Bisexual =/= polyamorous. I mean, they may be traits that coexist in some individual people, but they don't mean the same thing at all, as so many thickheaded people such as this guy seem to difficulty comprehending.

Personally, I find the the idea of some form of polyamorous legal union to be rather nifty, if it works well for all people involved. I honestly don't see how it would be an inherently bad thing, or cause the ruination of society. But to somehow link that back as a "slippery slope" argument against same-sex marriage is just bloody idiotic. Grrrr.

It's not a fight I know how to fight, but I don't see how making more options ruins or eliminates the first option. I mean, just because you can get lime-flavored and vanilla-flavored and cherry-flavored Coke, don't mean you can't also get Coke anymore, right?

Kurtz also didn't spend a lot of time on the fact that the man in that triad was *straight*.
