Sorry to pull this aside out of a barely related article, but it did strike
a chord with me.  Although not gay myself, I was, for a number of years and
reasons too complex to go into here, involved with the lesbian community in
Los Angeles and, later, in London.  The time period spanned nearly 10 years
from the mid 60's to mid 70's.

Anyway, from my experience, there's nothing "lately" about Roger's anomaly.
Though  both  our  samples  are  tiny, this sort of thing has been going on
probably throughout history.  I've known a number  of  lesbians  who  slept
with  men at one time or another for various reasons.  Occasionally the man
in question was me.

Some will insist that these women were in fact bisexual.  I define them  as
they defined themselves.

I have no idea what this  means,  if  anything,  but  would  like  to  hear
comments  from  some  of  the lesbians (or gay women, if you prefer) on the
net.
