I knew her personally when she was the 15 Rep. I mean, we weren’t friends or anything, but we had overlapping social circles. She actually wasn’t too crazy back then, but she was definitely into appealing to certain audiences. There was a huge gay scene ant the time, and they would show up to her events because she was “one of us.”
I would be very shocked to find any indication that she ever had a female partner. Like, she’s never had a girlfriend to my knowledge.
I'm a bi man but have never had a male partner and never will.
Yeah, as a lesbian it's a really common experience for us to have had multiple bi partners of whom we were the first or only female partner. In addition to the fact that straight people outnumber gay people and even if bi people are the plurality there's external pressures.
But also with women there's the lesbian ewe problem where because of the fact that women's role in traditional straight courtship is reactive there's a tendency towards a whole lot of signaling interests and hoping the other acts first. In my experience bi women struggle with it more as it doesn't entirely impede their ability to find a partner.
What I was trying to indicate is that I have reason to believe, based on knowing her, that she has never actually had sex with a woman and has never thought of another woman sexually.
I believe her entire “bisexual” stuff was to get more votes during a particular political point in her life. And it worked.
As we all know, sexuality is a spectrum—but hers is “mostly straight” and not “bisexual” as she would have people believe.
Only my best friend and partner know.
Is that because you are married to a woman?
Curiosity: by "partner" do you mean sex partner or life partner?
Either
