Public health as a discipline has been struggling with this for ages. Identities and behavior just not matching.

"I only spend maybe one, two hours tops out of my week pursuing sex with men. The rest of the week, I have a wife, kids, a white picket fence, I'm a respectable member of my church. I have a dog and a good job. I'm not a homosexual." (This paraphrased anecdote collected prior to bisexuality as a salient identity.)

For public health, identity, desire, sociopolitics be damned, it's about the sort of sex you have with the different sexes. MSM: Men who have sex with men is a term they've been using for ages. It's gotten a bit long, recently I read a paper where the cohort was BMSMW. I.e. behaviorally bisexual black men. They manage to have lots of same-sex sex but maintain a heterosexual identity. It's pretty fascinating.

Of course, trans came along and upended the entire table. TWAW and all that. It might be "heterosexual sex" to some GAMP muppet, but as far as STI's are concerned? Very gay.

Straight men don't spend even one hour of their lives pursuing gay male sex (unless it's part of their fetish, re:autogynephiles/AGP, transbians who date each other--thank goodness!!)

Internalized homophobia is a helluva drug.

I hope all LGB people can live authentically with whatever degree of same-sex attraction they have one day and not have to pretend to be "100% totally straight" or the opposite sex! Let LGB people just live and stop telling us we have to change our sexuality or our birth sex!!
