Does It Matter That Oregon's New Governor Is Bisexual? - Bloomberg Politics
On Friday afternoon, Gov. John Kitzhaber of Oregon resigned, and the Oregon secretary of state Kate Brown, also a Democrat, became the state governor. In an instant, Oregon had the first openly bisexual governor in American history.

For many of Gov. Brown’s constituents, this may mean little, because she is married to a man, and has been for many years. The adjective becomes easy to explain away, then; bisexuality is often dismissed as something made up, a risqué adolescent antic, something college girls do to impress boys. Last January, Lisa Diamond, a scholar of sexual orientation, told the reporter Michael Schulman that many people feel bisexuality “is a transitional stage or a form of being in the closet,” but that in fact it’s more common than strictly same-sex attraction.
 
Not my circus.


Not my monkeys.
 
Yes, but to those to whom it does, they cannot come out of the shadows and reveal themselves.

I am bisexual and represent the extremely wide and diverse reality of bisexuality. Bisexuality, can be described at that which exists between the opposites of complete hetero and homo sexuality. That world is pretty well invisible as most people from both genders, reject their own bisexual proclivities...especially men.
 
Now that's sticking a stick in it and stirring it up!
 
Of course by itself it doesn't matter and bi-sexual orientation is a real thing.
 
Just indesisive deviants imho. Pick a brand and stick wirh ut. Like people that drink coke AND pepsi. Deviants.

Why would it matter? Even more so, why do we know what she does in her bedroom?
 
It doubles your chance of a date on Saturday night, to paraphrase Woody Allen.

What about us who drink Mountain Dew AND Mellow Yellow

as to the governor-I couldn't care less. Its not like I am planning to take her to bed. if her husband is ok with it, so should everyone else and since he has been with her for years I guess he is. what sort of policies will she push-that is what matters
 
We need to get past stupid distinctions that have nothing to do with a politician's ability to do their job and move onto more meaningful things... anyone know what her beliefs are on evolution?

I see. So when you go to a restaurant and say "I'd like a coke" and the server says "We have pepsi products," you storm out of the building in a huff, right? :)

That would be much more relevant if an evolution-related education policy came up. Good idea! Let's look into that.
 
America's prudish yet obsessive interest in other people's sex lives is irrelevant to my existence.
 
No, it doesn't matter.

It's not so much an obsession with other people's sex lives as peoples obsession to tell the world what they like to do with their genitalia.
 
Of course. He only does it because hates god and Jesus and America. He'll outlaw Christianity any minute and impressionable children will become gay because of his example.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's just remember that this is Oregon, and not say... Alabama.
 
Only in that she takes a very unbalanced approach to homosexual rights. She allows her sexuality to influence her policies...

how does letting two lesbians or two gays marry hurt anyone? I am still trying to figure out how my marriage to my wife is impacted in the least by allowing two dudes to marry or by allowing a lesbian to have a wife

no, it doesn't matter at all.... not even a little tiny bit.

for those who think it's she's an abomination in office.. **** off , her sexuality doesn't matter.

for those on the other side thinking it's the greatest thing since sliced bread for her to be a bisexual in office...**** off, her sexuality doesn't matter.

The problem being that far to may look upon bi sexuality / Homo sexuality-/ Trans gender as abhorrent- against Nature - against the Bible.
1 - It is found through out nature
2- It is not abhorrent
3 - Where did Jesus ever condemn this? He did not. They live in the Old Testament.

I think it's a matter of principle, changing the definition of Marriage and what it has stood for coupled with the "through the court" fights vs any attempt at common ground that has made this a broken issue in this country.

not gonna get into the details.. i don't care about them and already acknowledge it's bull****.

her sexuality doesn't matter... that's all there is to it, no more, no less.
it's neither a positive nor a negative attribute.. it's an irrelevant attribute.... that's my point.
