August Ames was a porn actress. She was bisexual, so she did adult films with both female and male actors. What got her into trouble was her refusal to do sex scenes with male crossover actors. Those male actors were doing gay porn and straight porn. Ames’ concern was AIDS - she worked in California, where intentionally infecting someone with AIDS is treated as bad as parking your car illegally. And some of the gay porn studios in California don’t test their actors. Some of the actors within the industry bullied Ames for this, until she took her own life. Aand these same people then turned around and played the victim when they got called out for driving this woman to suicide. While it might seem critical at face value that a bisexual woman won’t sleep with a bisexual man, but there is a possibility that she would have slept with a bisexual actor if he never did gay porn, or at least was tested negative for STDs. Ames saw something that was wrong with the studio the actor whom she refused to sleep with previously worked at, so it wasn’t about him being bisexual, but him being untrustworthy. Instead, this actor and a bunch of his friends harassed August Ames and twisted it to make it look like she was homophobic. Not biphobic, but homophobic. As if a gay man is going to give a shit if a woman refuses to sleep with him, why would he want that?
