      Armisted Maupin had this thing he talked about in his books at one point.

      That every generation has one public figure that even straight boys can be gay for.

      Now, at the time, he said that it had been Mick Jagger, and then Bruce Springsteen.

      But today? Ryan Reynolds is absolutely the acceptable gay crush for straight guys.

      There are two kinds of bi people:

      I’m not gay, but…

      And:

      Look how tall she is! And look how small he is!

      Everything else is a variation of The Exception or Bisexual Panic.
