B"H

GLBT

It is my considered opinion that bisexuality is the human norm. I know that bisexuals are usually lumped together with those whose sexuality is imbalanced in the famous GLBT acronym that always reminds me of a sandwich I used to like very much before I started eating kosher (It was best on lightly toasted whole wheat bread with a dollop of good quality mayo and a light sprinkling of black pepper). But seriously, I do not agree with the commonly accepted breakdown of heterosexual vs. GLBT, but rather bisexual vs. HGLT where the "H" stands for hetero. In other words I think that hetero is an aberration along with gay, lesbian and most certainly transexual. I think that we are born with the ability and the desire to love both sexes profoundly and intimately, and that includes sexually.

Heterosexuals should be considered as a group together with homosexual men and lesbian women because all of those three groups share the fact that they dismiss half of the Human race as potential intimates.

In order for our fullest expression of sexuality, i.e., bisexuality to be expressed we have to have healthy, loving role models (called imagos in psychology) of both sexes. It is for that reason that I am so strongly in favor of a child being raised by a man and a woman. While these two people may be involved in bisexual relationships outside of their relationship or within it with other people, as with all sexual expressions of love, that is not to be demonstrated in the presence of children. There is time enough for the children to come to understand the bisexuality of their parents when their own sexual feels come into full bloom.

Whether children raised in a hetero home grow to find that they are oriented toward bisexuality, or any of the HGL variations, or the perversions, that is a matter of their choice and is not foisted upon them by their parents.
