I’m Not Bi, I’m I
Perusing videos online I found one of Margaret Cho talking about sexuality. She said, “I’m not Bi, I’m I” and I think that’s just about appropriate! The line between gay and straight has become more blurred in recent years as women and men are finding it more acceptable to have non-sexual relationships with members of the same sex. One of my favorite new terms is “Bromance” which refers to a relationship between two straight men who are, for lack of a better expression, “best friends.”
“Friends with benefits” is another term I find appealing, although it can be used to describe a relationship between any gender couple.
As women age, statistically there has been a noticeable increase in the number of women who are turning to other women. When asked if this makes them lesbians, my answer is “No, this just makes them smart.” It has been proven that good relationships help people live longer, healthier lives. Since there are more older women than men, they are simply taking advantage of the ratio.
Sometimes women start out simply as travel buddies or as friends, saving money by sleeping in the same bed, and the next thing they know they are lovers. Seems pretty cool to me!
What do you think? Do you have a “best friend” that happens to be the same sex as you? Do you have a personal story about a “bromance” in your life or in the life of a man you know?
Do you have an opinion about anything I’ve said here?
