Hello Catfolk! I've been away for a while, but I'm headed back home. Seems to me like the climate's been getting just a tad too cold, and I don't mean the temperature, whether you measure it in Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvins, of what-have-you. I mean the social-sexual climate. Ready for a new word boys and girls? It's called BIPHOBIA and it ain't at all pretty! Just ask Holly Near, or Joan Baez, or -- well, go ahead fill in the name. Talking about the love that dare not speak it's name! Anyone else got similar experiences?

Biphobia is the antipathy bisexuals get from the lesbian and gay communities. It ranges from mild ridicule to severe derision and complete exclusion. (The antipathy bisexuals get from the straight community is just plain old fashioned homophobia.) Holly Near and Joan Baez were on the receiving end of biphobia, particularly from lesbians, when it became know that each was bi. Holly had previously been thought of as lesbian and Joan as straight, so each was viewed somewhat differently. Joan was perceived as a coward who just couldn't face her homosexuality, while Holly was seen as a traitor to her sisters. In both instances, however, the sentiment was the same.

I don't really see why anyone would want to have their sexual orientation made public and why anyone's sexual orientation would be of interest to someone who didn't have a sexual interest in that person.

Subject: RE: BS: biphobia
From: Janice in NJ
Date: 26 Oct 05 - 07:54 PM

Straight people make their sexual orientation public all the time. It's considered the norm, and if they don't there is always the suspicion that they are queer. Lesbians and gay man simply want to be afforded the right and opportunity to display their own sexual orientation without the society holding it against them. What makes me angry is that many people in the lesbian and gay communities are ready and willing to treat bisexuals the same way they, lesbians and gays, have been treated by straights.

As for not seeing why "anyone's sexual orientation would be of interest to someone who didn't have a sexual interest in that person," why was there so much general public interest in J. Edgar Hoover's sexual orientation? Or Liberace's? Or Martina Navratalova's? Or Ellen DeGeneres's? Could it be that there are a lot more gay men and lesbians out there than anyone will acknowledge? Maybe there are just a lot more bisexuals.

Ain't no such word as "biphobia." It's a construct with little or no relationaship to the Greek. Besides, the "phobia" suffix would mean "fear of". "Hatred of", which I suspect is what is wanted here, would have the prefix "miso", as in "misogyny".

The word for hatred of bisexuals would be something like "misoermafroditism" for the condition and "misoermafrodit" for a person who hated bisexuals.

Personally though, I agree with Peace. If you're a decent human being I don't care what you do in your spare time; if you're a shit as a human being, I'll think you're a shit no matter what you do alone or with others.

What Rapaire said.

It's always been my understanding that the current use of the word "homophobia" has changed from it's original implication -- that the reason some "straights" were intolerant of gays was because, so the arguement went (and was just accepted as true), in reality those "straights" were actually afraid (hence "phobia") of their own homosexual proclivities.

It now means "hatred or intolerance" of gays -- no relationship whatsoever to "phobia". But even trying to point out the error was too politically incorrect, thus "phobia" is now a suffix with a new politcal meaning -- like "-gate" tagged to the end of every scandal.

...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Semantics aside, it seems to me that prejudices in the identified gay community against bisexuals are largely based on intellectual notions of politically correct sexuality that some outspoken individuals have decided are right for everybody. Prejudices in the identified straight world are largely based on religious biases, historical precedent and plain old ignorance.

Either way, both are intellectual/emotional constructs that deny the variety and richness of human experience by attempting to corral peoples' desires into carefully defined categories and attach moral judgements to them. Nothing new about that. It's crying a shame that humanity's bad habit has been ressurected once again by some whose near brethren in the bedroom have suffered terribly from its oppression for so many centuries in the past.

At last someone, "Elmer Fudd" to be exact, is taking this issue seriously. I raised the question of biphobia -- which is what it is called within the LGBT communities -- on Mudcat because so many current folk musicians identify themselves as lesbians (e.g. Ani DiFranco, Pat Humphreys, Sonia Rutstein, Janis Ian, Melissa Ethridge, Cathy Fink). Yet it is from the lesbian community, but not necessarily from the folkies, that bisexual women get the most biphobic responses. They are either branded cowards like Joan Baez or traitors like Holly Near.

Well, Janice...did you really think that gay people, of any particular disposition, are devoid of any prejudice by virtue of the fact that they aren't straight? It seems to me that a lesbian, whose sexual orientation is toward other women and doesn't relate to men in that manner, might tend to think of another woman who relates to both men and women as "different." For some people, the leap from differentness to prejudice is a very short one.

One of the sad ironies of life seems to be that we tend to become like those who have oppressed or damaged us or otherwise impressed us. I don't know if it's because of imprinting or just a means of defense we take in with our milk.

It seems to me that what you are describing is some humans' actions or reactions. Education is about the only thing that has worked consistently against bigotted thought, slow though it be.

Surely in a smaller, fairly discrete populatoin like lesbians and gays, education should bear quicker fruit?

In the last major national round of elections in the US, ELEVEN STATES passed ammendments to state constitutions denying same sex couples the CIVIL right to marry.

This is in addition to about the same number of states who had already decided that "only the right people have rights" by ammendments to state constitutions or in state laws.

The ammendment to the Kansas State Constitution that was passed was almost a verbatim transcription of the Nazi 1936 "Declaration on Racial Purity" which denied Jews the right to marry Germans, except that it goes the additional step of denying homosexuals and lesbians the right to marry anyone.

How quashed do you want them to be?

I was referring to Janice's statement about people being locked up, put in mental hospitals or being mutilated for the expression of their sexuality.

Obviously as far as recogniton of their legal rights there is still a long way to go, more so in some jurisdictions than in others.

Coincidentally, I just this week filled out paperwork to start collecting my pension and was pleased to see that the definition of spouse, in the context of benificiary, included someone of either the same or opposite sex.

They're still debating here whether the new state constitution would make it illegal for a company to pay a pension based on defining a person of the same sex as a spouse to anyone living in the state. It almost certainly would make it illegal for any company headquartered here to do so.

It appears that some hope it will prohibit both.

bobad -

The original drafters of the US Constitution neglected to incorporate separation of church and state in the original document. This was a primary reason why only a few of the states ratified it immediately.

At least six states, when they ultimately did ratify the original Constitution, made their ratification conditional on addition of an absolute ban on the establishment of any "official religion" - or they'd take their toys and go back home.

The FIRST AMENDMENT to the US Constitution states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It is the stated goal of a certain significant segment of the "born agains" to eventually repeal the the religion clause of the First Amendment. Until then, they will settle for "we're not restricting your right to worship any god you want to - as long as it's ours." Note that they do NOT consider not worshiping any god an option.

A lesser but vocal segment appear to have advocated in formal internal policy documents that have circulated publicly, albeit sparsely, that the 19th Amendment should be repealed:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Acquaintance with Kansans makes this latter claim entirely credible, although illiterate Kansans seem not to be unique in the country.

Of course I am familiar with the writings of Susie Bright, one of the great contemporary erotic authors of either sex and of any orientation. Her works, whether essays, anthologies, or fiction, have been both celebrated and condemned within the LGBT communities, sometimes by the same people who at one time praised Susie for her very frank and playful lesbo-eroticism and who later denounced her as a pornographer. If nothing else, Susie gave us the quintessential eroto-feminist battle cry: Clits up!

When I made reference to people being imprisoned, locked up in mental hospitals, and physically mutilated for expressing their sexuality, I wasn't limiting myself to the USA, the UK, and Canada, the homelands of most Mudcatters. But please don't deceive yourself into thinking that all is sweetness and light in those countries. The state laws of Kansas provide just one example.

And no, I am not the rubber duckie lady.
