I can’t say I’m a fan of reality TV shows, but being a bisexual male, “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” really grabbed my attention. I hoped Tila would explain misunderstandings of bisexuality in American society and rid the mass amount of myths that surround the sexual orientation. Unfortunately, she has only exacerbated these misconceptions by treating her sexuality as the driving force of petty drama and cheap entertainment.

The Food and Drug Administration has banned men who have had sex with other men from donating blood since 1983. But now, SJSU President Don Kassing is prohibiting any blood drives on campus because the FDA ignores SJSU’s nondiscrimination policy.

Arabic lecturer Uri Horesh ended his hunger strike against the University of Texas’ lack of domestic partner benefits about three weeks ago, but no visible changes in the way the University addresses the issue have been made.

We’re not going to comment on the military’s current state of morale (see: “up-armored vehicles”) or discipline (see: “Abu Ghraib”); however, we don’t think the gays pose any more of a threat to the military than they do to our public school system, marriages, cartoon characters, scouting organizations, national security, football teams or dance clubs.

At the Las Vegas Democratic debate on Jan. 15, all three leading Democratic presidential candidates pledged to “vigorously enforce” the Solomon Amendment. If enforced, this amendment would revoke federal funding from universities, like Columbia, that refuse to allow Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs or military recruiters on campus. Regardless of whether that happens — and notwithstanding the military’s policies toward homosexuals — it is time for Columbia to abandon its policy barring ROTC from campus.

Despite commonly held beliefs, a new University of Utah study shows that bisexual women are likely to keep their sexual orientation over time.
Lisa Diamond, a U psychology professor, conducted the first study to research bisexual women and changes in their sexual behavior over a 10-year time period.
