Fencesitters Unite! Celebrate Bisexuality Day in SL!
September 23 is Celebrate Bisexuality Day the world over, and now it's finally come to SL. Erasmus Hartunian of the BiCafe Beach Place will be holding an event from 5 AM to 7 PM SL Time that will include Live concerts, DJs, Fashion Shows, Art Exhibits, Games, and Contests, with over L$100,000 in prizes and give-aways scheduled for every hour of the day.
Interestingly, SL boasts the largest association of bisexuals in the world -- its Bisexuals in Second Life is over 1200 members strong. BiCafe.com, the longest running social web site for bisexuals founded in 1997, has its virtual home in BiCafe Beach Place, and will be celebrating its 10th year anniversary at this event. Come join the party and show your support!
(Thanks, Erasmus!)

(Page 1)2. It's funny, I think almost everyone I know in SL is bi, myself included.

3. I wonder what is the proportion of openly bi in SL versus of those on the itnernet as a whole....

5. So how many of these people counted as "bi" are dudes in female avs that like girl-on-girl action as well as straight action?
Sexuality is a strange thing to guage in a place where everyone could easily be lying!

And there lies the Immersionist vs Augmentist argument.
Who cares I say; the avatar represents the sex of the avatar, not the typist. The typist doesn't exist.
I am 150% gay, yet will happily have sex with a chick typist driving a dude avatar. As long as the bits I like are there and the bit I don't are missing I don't care what sex the brain behind the avatar is.
People who worry so much about the sex of the brain behind the avatar are probably denying their own true impulses.
7. Woot, Jayden ;-)

10. We are booking more live concerts and DJs than initially planned. There will be something for every taste and ... gender :-)

11. As someone who knows very little about Second Life (my broadband connection is weirdly slow), but has spent many years intellectualising about bisexuality, the whole notion about what it means to change your gender as an avatar is totally fascinating.
Hope you all have a fun time on Sunday!
