Queer theory is attractive to me because it offers an explanation of identity that does not necessarily require previous identities be discarded as less “real” or authentic. This potential is important for bisexuals, many of whom come to bisexuality from lesbian, gay or straight identities, and may change identity again later in life. If change is destigmatized, even seen as revolutionary, then the stereotypical charge that bisexuals are untrustworthy because they change can be refuted without having to reject change as bad.

I read this somewhere and laughed and laughed and laughed
” Jumping around from topic to topic in conversations with others, or begining an explanation of some procedure or process or task at work by exlaining the reasons for the steps and the possible consequences of doing the thing differently that I’ll eventually get around to providing unless I forget… I’ve been told that I have a very circular way of thinking and that if I can’t think in a more linear fashion, that certain individuals will simply stop listening to me, and then realizing later, sometimes weeks later, that I never finished a particular sentence and the person I was talking to therefore probably got a very twisted — but possibly quite entertaining — picture…”
