I ran the idea of spinach quiche by the kids and was vetoed.
Send it to meeeeeeeee.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"See, I can still be the romantic interest of a woman in a movie."
Have you seen Alan Cumming? Stating he's bi isn't going to overcome the hurdle. He's fey and he dresses up like a woman at the drop of a hat. Someone who's so willing to mess with expectations of masculinity, I figure they've lost what they're going to lose in the eyes of the public already--and bi men seem to have less cachet than gay men.
It just seems weird.
And I don't know if it's worked for Alan--I can't remember the last time I saw him lock lips with a lady onscreen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Randomly (well, not really, considering the Solstice): here's the cast of the 1969 RSC production of Midsummer Night's Dream (which was also filmed and put out in theaters).
Derek Godfrey as Theseus
Ian Holm as Puck, or Robin Goodfellow
Judi Dench as Titania
Helen Mirren as Hermia

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Didn't Robert Downey Jr. come out as bi years ago? I know he's married now, but in my experience that tends to be true of most bisexual men past a certain age.

Always Anti-fascist!
Really? I never knew that. I like Alan Cumming's Rahm impression on the Good Wife.

I vividly remember seeing that on PBS! I think it pushed me over the edge to pursuing theatre as a profession. Didn't work out, but I loved while it lasted.

See, many of the gawker commenters are insisting "bi now, gay later" when it comes to men--and that it's the bi women who will end up marrying peen.
The RDJ quote I found on the topic was this, from IMDB:
A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
See, all the gawker commenters are insisting "bi now, gay later" when it comes to men-
Weird. I saw that attitude in the '80s, but I thought folks would be past that now. Shows how out of touch I am with the gay community these days... which makes me sad.
