If they are so offended by this, why not just choose "pansexual" and make peace with that? The normal people can say "bi" instead. It would make it easier on the bisexual community.

That's why they don't. They don't want to make it easy on the normal people. They need to invade the entire notion of bisexuality, and homosexuality, and gender-non-conformity.

For some reason, they don't much go after the heterosexuals. I wonder why...

Not sure if I buy that they’re malicious as much as maybe stupid... or maybe childish?

I picture a kid running through a department store. Then they find the LGBT aisle. All the marketing says that it’s such a cool and unique club. They want a ticket into the club. They want a ticket into every club that makes them socially aware and special. They want to belong, like teenagers do.

Maybe our marketing team needs to tone it down a bit... show pictures of us eating Indian takeout on the bed on a Saturday night. Haha

Show pictures of ME! That'll scare 'em away!

Uncoolness incarnate...

Always thought, during the days when all us LGB people were being urged to come out: "seriously, guys-- you want people like me to STAY IN!"

But now? Maybe I can put being LGB PR-kryptonite to good use!
