Some of us have screamed the question in anger or pain until our throats went raw. Here are some of the most popular answers chosen by those plumbing the Web:

� Because I say so!

� Because I love you.

� Because of traffic.

� Because we're not "real" queers and our attraction to the same sex is only a phase and we'll just leave for a member of the opposite sex any day and our way of loving is only a period of confusion and when we haven't changed in 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 years we are still just confused and we see personal ads that say "no bisexual" and when we date members of the opposite sex we are holding onto "straight privilege" and when we date members of the same sex they don't trust us and when we dare to suggest that we have our own identity we are being ungrateful or difficult or radical and if we don't no one will know who we really are and every historical figure or celebrity who has ever had a same-sex affair was really gay or lesbian no matter how s/he may have felt about any husband or wife or lover of the opposite sex and the government does not acknowledge our existence by labeling us as something that fits their definition of who we are even though it doesn't fit our own and we're told we can't make up our minds and when we make a long-term commitment to a member of the opposite sex we're really just straight and when we don't choose to make a commitment to anyone at all then it's because we aren't capable of it and for lots and lots of other reasons, we are part of the bisexual pride movement.
