In light of being in college, a time in our lives during which we should all feel liberated to explore our identities and sexualities, I think it's only appropriate to discuss something that, in my opinion, is often terribly misinterpreted: bisexuality. According to Anatasia Toufexis's article in Time Magazine "Bisexuality What Is It?", many people have the common perception that bisexuals are basically "just straights with a taste of exotic adventure or essentially gays who are unable or unwilling to acknowledge their true orientation" (Toufexis).
