At one point I identified as bisexual, just to avoid having to explain homoflexibility every five minutes, so I understand why you'd avoid the term. :P
That is a really interesting fact, Corey. I seriously did not actually know that! The more you know.

@Nagisa: while this is also a really old post I'm responding to, I actually would kinda like to know what the story is more now that you've said people will jump down your throat for it. And I honestly don't think people will, so long as you don't act bigoted about your opinion...which I know you won't. :P I mean, you're a really cool and humble person from what I can tell!

But pretty much any regular PXRian is mature enough to understand and NOT pounce on you. x]
