Conversation between me and my sister, when I came out to her.
Me: "I'm bisexual."
Sis: "Have you ever sucked a man's cock?"
Me: "No. Have you?"
Sis: "No."
*snap fingers* Bingo.
Straight, gay and bi people do some pretty weird things to bring pleasure to their lovers and themselves. But the ability to perform any specific sex act, whatever parts of the body are involved, does not define your sexuality in any way.
But there are no specific signature sex acts that define a specific sexual orientation. Straight people can perform fellatio, cunnilingus, anal penetration and use sex toys as much as gays, bisexuals and lesbians. The Missionary Position is not the exclusive signature style of the Vanilla.
What matters is just one thing. Are you entirely inclusive, partly inclusive or even only slightly inclusive? Do you welcome lovers in your life of any gender equally, do you have a general preference to one but enjoy the company of others, or do you have a strong personal preference for one gender while entertaining preferences for others?
If you consider the requirement that your lovers have to be a specific gender to be ludicrous; if you scorn the convention that your sexuality defines your tastes and style, your accent, the things you are supposed to talk about; if you love equally either and any gender; that is what makes one a bisexual. Not whether you can perform a specific kind of sex act.

Normally? Judge Dredd.
But right now, in the thick of the Day of Chaos storyline? Maybe not so much.

Olympic Flame Goes Out Flame goes out for first time in 2012 relay
By Clare Kane
LONDON | Mon May 21, 2012 8:36am EDT
(Reuters) - The Olympic flame went out on Monday for the first time during the torch relay around Britain ahead of the London Games because of a "malfunctioning burner", organizers said.
The torch, which was attached to 23-year-old David Follett's wheelchair, went out on its way from Exeter to Taunton in southwest England on the third day of the 70-day relay.
The torch design had been tested at BMW's climatic centre in Munich to ensure it could stay alight in all weather conditions.
"It is not uncommon for a flame to go out and this can happen for a number of reasons, for example, in extreme winds," the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) said in a statement.
Organizers carried a mother flame in a vehicle behind the torchbearer and relit the torch in "a matter of a few minutes", a London 2012 spokesman said.
"This is something that has been practiced time and time again," he said, adding that organizers thought the replacement had gone smoothly.
Monday's leg of the relay will see 113 people carry the Olympic torch over 135 miles./spoiler>
The flame did not go out for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, presided over by Adolf Hitler. But they went out here in the UK, presided over by David Cameron.
I could leave it to you to come up with your own conclusions as to what it means, but history will call these Olympics cursed.

If the theme from "The Inner Light" did not break your heart, try "The Enterprise," from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, by the late Jerry Goldsmith.

So Thursday night, the Seven Stars pub will host a literature open mic event.
It looks like an event for poets, for the most part. I'll just make sure to stack up on my poetry before going there, and put it on my Kobo for reading out loud.
I'd love to include an excerpt from one of my blogs. Perhaps the Architect Dream?

Given that we all seem to be working later and later, how do you like to spend your off-time?

I don't. People like me never take a holiday, because our Duty never ends.
