"Why I Am a Bi Ally," by Cathy Renna. A sample:

Sadly, this blatant prejudice and ignorance still happens in front of me, often in the company of people I do not expect it from. I was recently at the NGLTF Creating Change conference and even there, at a dinner with colleagues I consider friends, the comments were made that "I don't know any bisexuals," "I would not date a bisexual," and "I don't think anyone is really bisexual." If they made those comments and inserted the word gay or lesbian, I noted, what would their response be? Discussion ensued. I hear them say "I never thought about it that way." Then we had dessert. I hope I made a difference. Welcome to my world.

The rest is equally awesome. Go, read.
