Sod BASH.

I'm jumping up and down about the leaflets, paid for by you and me, for gay and bisexual men which say that - depending on the leaflet - 'hey guys, you can catch HIV from women too' and that's it for the 'and bisexual' bit, or that men don't give women oral sex or need to use condoms with women or indeed have sex with women or (my favourite this one!) women don't have arseholes.

Or how about the THT's 'Sex and Relationships for ___ Living With HIV' trilogy. Fill in the gap.

Gay men? Tick, but nothing about sex with women in there, despite the fact that we know each year around 10% of gay identified men have sex with women (a higher percentage than do BDSM!)

Straight men? Tick, but nothing queer in there of course.

Women? Tick, but presumed to be straight.

You can count to three, so it won't surprise you that there's no bisexual anything in the series.

Let me say it again again: for years, people have taken money to do work with gay and bisexual men (who cares about bisexual women?) and used the lot to do work for gay men. Typically only 'out' gay men too.

I don't much care who does the work (although it'd be nice to do some of it myself, not least as I'm damn sure I can do a better job of it than the people paid to do it now) but I do really really care that it gets done.

And at the moment, it isn't.
