What Does The Removal Of Proposition 8 Mean For The Bisexual Community?

With all the depressing headlines lately, last week when I heard that Prop 8 had been overturned in California, at first I thought it was either a joke or I had to be dreaming. I admit I had stopped following the progress of the anti-Prop 8 fight, having lost faith in CA ever giving BLGT [...]

Someone Thinks Bisexuals Are Lying-Again
