A brief introduction to bi-ness, in boxers

Hello there interverse, and welcome to The Billusionist blog!

Lordy, I barely know how to go about introductions like this. *Catches breath* Okay. Let's do it THIS way.

Bi-ness is not about sexuality, or religion, or political affiliation, or gender, or race, or...really, any of it. Bi-ness is all about understanding that there is, in fact, a difference between black and white. Of course, that's a color reference only...the idea is that society, or evolution, or whatever your rationale, is responsible for convincing you, the viewer, (the HUMAN) that there are only two options for whatever you want to be. Either you're gay or straight, male or female, white or not, and acceptance WILL come...but only before you decide your binary code. How many ones and zeroes are you?

Of course, such a code can be useful. It makes it easier to decide who is "like you" and who "is not".

But I reason that these binary labels are only relevant to those who accept them. How many of you are content to be what you tell people you are? How many are content to be democrat, or gay, or female...or ANYTHING that can be simply summarized in a word?

A forewarning: For those of you who ARE (that is, content with singularities, with telling who you are in a word), cruise away from here.

Because this site, this discussion, this 40 acres of speech, isn't about all that. It's about further defining the middle ground.

Because so many minds before us have insisted, have begged us to believe that human experience isn't all that easy to explain.

Because love is different to everyone.

Because gender is different to everyone.

Because political affiliation is different to everyone.

Because every experience that anyone ever has simply CANNOT be described that...simply. Because I know you know, as a human being, that you live with your reality and will never share it in its totality. Because you strive to do it. Because you wish you could make the whole world realize that just because it thinks things are the way they are, does NOT mean things IS the way they IS.

Keep coming back if you feel it. Ignore this if you don't.

As vague as the last passage has been...if you believe in any of it, comment, and let me know, and you'll be included in the next steps.
