neonflux said:I am in a very similar boat. Have fallen in love with a man - and not someone who is also bi but a real honest to goodness dyed in the wool straight guy, and a "guy-guy" at that! (He does come from a family and cultural background in which homosexuality is not only OK but actually valued.)
In my case, I suspect that it has been more confusing for me than for most of my friends. I have been out as bi-queer for a long time - always harder to come out to new LGBT folks than straight... I have yet to take him into the Castro, even though there are some restaurants I know he'd love there. I'm afraid I'd start shouting out to folks, "I'm queer! I really am! I'm not just part of a "straight couple slumming. I slept exclusively with women for the past 18 years before him. Really, I'm Queeeeeeeeer!!! " I rarely take him to Valencia Street (the more lesbian part of town) for the same reason.
Went out recently with a friend who is dating again after a break-up - she is currently just having a good time and also has a "guy-guy" among her regulars - she won't take him to the Castro or Inner Mission, either, LOL...
So silly...

Yeah well, bi fem on bi male lurve (and only really astute queers can scope him for some reason) made me re-evaluate those "straight couples slumming" much more charitably.
