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.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

There's this NY Times article (I'm not done reading it yet) that suggests that male bisexuality doesn't exist either. It's been cited in comments a few times.

msbelle I'm on cobra now. I don't know how helpful about costs I can be as the cost is 2% over what your company pays for your total premium. So the employee and employer portion plus 2%. Depending on your company that can be reasonable or quite expensive. I'm single and pay $379/month. It lasts 18 months and in CA we can extend another 18 months. I'm not sure about other state rules.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I am related to some people who rather nastily declare that being bi is bullshit, that it's either one or the other. Which I don't get.
I am ten years old again stuck visiting relatives I don't like. My car is in the shop and won't be repaired until tomorrow night. Had a good day fishing with my brothers, but didn't realize until too late that my older brother had gotten shitty on scotch, and then didn't realize that he was hitting my bourbon at the house and his girlfriend was due to arrive in twenty minutes, and he had stolen almost two hundred from our younger brother. And then the pervy carpenter comes by, the one who used to be the youth group leader I crushed on when I was 15, the one who still has swarms of lithe young girls falling over him and who has blown off my parents and their neighbors regarding unfinished business, and is actually showing off a project proposal for a job he wants to get to my dad! And he manages to drop one of his typical "jokes" and insult another family member, and brought a copy of one of his favorite pictures of me and proceeded to talk about my breasts. And throughout all this, my brother is embarrassingly drunk and won't lie down. And my god, I need a cigarette and my car. I so want to blow my mother off tomorrow and just sit on the mechanic to hurry up the repairs.
