So, I was on the phone with Jenn earlier talking about this, that, and the other thing, and somehow it came up that something like half my friends online (and possibly off, but I don't have that many friends IRL) are bi or gay. And Jenn says "And me too". Uh, what? "And me too" Um... what? "You know I'm bi, right?" Clearly not, which is what I said; that, barring any evidence to the contrary (her going out with girls, her talking about really hot girls, the fact that she's married and this has never come up) I simply assumed she was straight. Now, of course, normally I wouldn't do that, experience is showing me that most people I know are likely to be bi, not straight, but... this is Jenn. I figured if she weren't, she'd tell me. And as I explain this, she's going... "But I thought I *did* tell you!!!"

Anyway, convo ended with both of us giggling sillily. I can't believe she forgot to tell me this. I can understand deciding not to tell me, although not from her, she's my big sister and tells me most everything, but forgetting? How do you forget this?

Indeed, very few individuals are *strictly* gay or *strictly* straight. For a more academic discussion of this, refer to the Kinsey Institute's overview of the Kinsey Scale (http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/resources/ak-hhscale.html).

I always assumed that the scale itself was a gender-neutral tool, although that page seems to imply otherwise. Hmm.
