After Kate Millet, a pioneer feminist published her well known book, Sexual Politics in the 1970's, she came out bisexual. To her dismay, some radical lesbians began humiliating her with (a Dan Savage word) hostile discrimination while interagating her then calling her a copout. After all, she was lesbian once, why be honest with her truth now, embracing her bisexuality. Since it was o.k. to be lesbian then, our own Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza suggests, "It is o.k. to be bisexual now." Millet later wrote her autobiography, Fying. In it she wrote, "Homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with it's own bisexuality."
Yes... Lesbian biphobia, an unspoken biphobia exists even to this day.
