Many of the comments here with regard to bisexual people are just revolting. We do not sleep with anyone. We’re not attracted to everyone. I’m extremely picky.

And the article itself is full of incorrect information.

For example
“A lot of the issue, too, is that women who have sex with women, when they do have sex with a man, that partner is usually bisexual or even gay, just because of the circles they’re in—so that can put them at greater risk.”

This might conceivably be true of lesbian identified women who have sex with men – except for example those who work as prostitutes and some porn performers. However it is most certainly not true of women who identify as bisexual. And guess what? There are more of us than there are lesbians. A lot more. So most women who have sex with women are not lesbians or even lesbian identified.

“Gold Star” lesbians are a pretty rare breed. Portia certainly isn’t one. Neither is Ellen. Think about it biphobes.

This article has many incorrect facts about lesbians and bisexual women. I also feel that who ever wrote this, did not do their research and just pulled the research out of their ass.

There is some good information in this article, but also a significant error. The LGBT Community Services Center in NYC is not a medical clinic. Our local LGBTQ medical clinic (and my gynecologist’s home base) is the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, located on West 18th Street in Chelsea.

It is highly irresponsible to promote the use of Merck’s vaccination. Neither the human toll or scientific proof of effectiveness is known, and until then it’s just another pharmaceutical experiment using fearful women as guinea pigs.

I can’t believe the venom that people within the LGBTQ community have towards eachother. Its all about equality, that people have the right to be themselves and to love the person that they fall for irrespective of gender, race, disability, age or any other irrelevant factor like whether they want to wear makeup or not. Of course lesbians and bisexual people have something in common, they are people. They are sexual minorities. Why would we not want to fight discrimination in all its biggotted forms together, homophobia, biphobia, rasism, sexism. Why would we not want solidarity where we could find it? The truth of the matter is that anyone that discriminates against another person on the basis of their sexual orientation is a biggot. Whether that person is lesbian identified discriminating against a bisexual woman or a straight person discriminating against anyone that engages in homosexual contact. We need to challenge biggotry wherever we find it and we should start in the LGBTQ community itself.

The article was lame. Lesbian sex, gay sex, and straight sex are different. Bisexuals can and will sleep with anyone.
I would not want to be in a reltionship with someone I could not satisfy and worry that they are getting some on the side. A Real Lesbian does Not have sex with men after they come out.

I know a few lesbians who have had or do at times have sex with men. But most I know have not or do not and never will. What I am most upset with is the hatered inside the LGBT community towards each other. So many lesbians hating bisexuals, so many gay men hating bisexuals. Then we have the lesbians, gays and bisexuals teaming up on transexuals. The LGBT community does not sound like much of a community.

Of course a man is going to try to tell me that a lesbian does sleep with men. It’s too funny.
A lesbian means… read closely… means… Wait for it…
No penis in the vagina.
Does that hurt your little guy’s feelings? too bad.
Not all women want men, even some breeder women don’t even like your penis.
