The headline of the NY Post reads: Anna Paquin defends bisexual label despite being married, pregnant<\/a><\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n

Despite?<\/font><\/p>\n

Even though Paquin spoke intelligently and openly to the reporter of Zooey magaine (which the Post is citing), it appears the Post writer either didn\u2019t get what she was trying to say, or didn\u2019t care and went with a headline that only reinforced the stereotype that a bi person cannot be happy with one person and, thereby, cannot be a good parent. And thrown in for spice is the stereotype that bisexuality is merely a faddish set of behaviours rather than a sexual orientation.<\/font><\/p>\n

Anyway, from the article:<\/font><\/p>\n

Paquin tells <\/font>Zooey <\/font><\/a>magazine in a new interview. “For me, it\u2019s not really an issue because I\u2019m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It\u2019s not made up. It\u2019s not a lack of decision. It\u2019s not being greedy or numerous other ignorant things I\u2019ve heard at this point. For a bisexual, it\u2019s not about gender. That\u2019s not the deciding factor for who they\u2019re attracted to.” ” alt=”
