bisexuals

Billie Myers is every gay man's fantasy. She's a singer/songwriter ballsy enough to stand up for everything she believes in—including gay rights—and mellow enough to make your heart totally melt. Hell, the first time I heard Kiss the Rain I almost died. I was in the midst of a long-distance relationship at the time (I am still come to think of it. I think people tend to feel the need to escape from me....) Anyway, in the midst of all of this stood Billie singing about what it really feels to be away from someone you love. Even though her message is often-times melancholy it's powerfully clear; hold on to love and feel it no matter where you are. It still resonates with me today. On that album (Growing, Pains) she also sang about what it means to feel love and that doesn’t have look the same, which is a critical message for a burgeoning gay boy. "Shark and The Mermaid" and "Opposites Attract" spoke early to my inner gay – and what a hot merman it was I pictured whilst I listened to that fab song (like Stan the Merman from Another Gay Sequel!) And Billie seemed to grow up with me – deeper more resonant love songs abound like "Vertigo". "Should I Call You Jesus" foretold conflicts that were just about to effect all of us more deeply.

Billie is an out and proud bisexual and is using her fame to fight for our gay rights all whilst producing even more beautiful and deeply felt music. She continues to grow up with us—with all of us. And we are uniquely lucky to have her.

(And we at Homopop are pretty lucky. Filmmaker JC Calciano contacted us about his new film that is in production called Is It Just Me?, and it features the song "I Hope You're Happy Now" by this sassy, soulful songstress. He sent us the freshly-cut video and we are one of the first blogs to host it! Thanks JC! And of course, check back because Robby O will be doing one of his fabulous interviews with the filmmaker about this hot little gay romance that'll be hitting us in 2010.)

Look, I have nothing against bisexual people. I mean, I have been guilty of having long-term relationships with women—muff diving for miles and miles, arms worn out, tongue red and swollen. Most of us have done it haven’t we? Most even lived to tell the story—there was a friend of mine way back, though, that never made it back to shore. I am glad for bisexual people… double the fun and all that. You know, NEATO, but now bisexuality in the "celebrity" universe seems all the rage. This weekend Mika (the FABULOUS, flamboyant, camp singstress who looks great in leotards and face paint) came out as bisexual, saying, "I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with. So, whatever. Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me." God, I am SO BORED with the whole "not limited myself" line... Yes, occasionally you might like to sleep with a chick, sometimes you might like just jerking off, occasionally, when the mood takes you might like to get a member of the school band stick a flute up your ass... but at the end of the day it is the altar of cock that you worship. It is the cock that keeps you up at night. You know it. We know it! And right now we need more than ever to stand our dicks up high and be counted! Celebrities are constantly taking the safe route like our friend Adam Lambert. Although he made up for it later. And half of the male cast if this year’s UK X Factor also appear to be bisexual too. So yes, we do want to label you, we want you to label yourself—hell you even have a flag! So maybe when the voices grow loud enough; there won’t be any need to silence them... or bi them up anymore.
