YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED =
Bi MEN LIFETIME MEMBERSHIPS $69!

Dear BI Men Members & Friends:

Are you one of those guys who has meant again and again to support our Bi MEN NETWORK - yet your check has never actually gotten in the mail, or you never made it to PayPal, or you just never did slip that cash in an envelope and get it in the mail? After this New York Times sad episode do you hopefully feel maybe it is high time you do help out and do put YOUR money where our mouths need to be - here? Please see below!

MEN - I need your help. Now until Labor Day - you can get your choice of one of two all FREE premiums ($80+ value) with your $69.00 fully paid lifetime membership in our Bi MEN NETWORK.

PAY the LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP of $69 and get a free pass to Bi Men Getaway Weekend in Las Vegas 2006 (or any other Bi MEN event) - a $35 to $80 value AND a free month of bi mmf pay for porn from 3 PILLOWS


Click here for details!

OR PAY the LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP for $69 and get a $50 gift certificate - credit for underwear or swimwear from DOWN UNDER from http://boy.cheekynature.com + a full free month at 3 PILLOWS.



Go NOW to PAY YOUR 1 X LIFETIME $69 at: www.bimen.org/contributionpage.htm

When I get your payment at PAYPAL or in the mail - include your email address - I will email you with my thanks and ask which premium you would like with our thanks for your generous support.

MEN - I can NOT do this ALONE! We have over 1/4 million active male members with us here, but fewer than one thousand of you have ever contributed even one thin dime. Our monthly fixed costs are over five hundred dollars a month. I have lived in poverty for many years now answering this "calling" and I need your support to continue here.

Can I count on you? If you can not afford $69.00 for a LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP with a free premium then how about $5 or $10 or $20. The appeals for financial support this year have been dismal failures. You can MAIL in cash - or checks - or money orders or you can use any credit or debit card or even a personal check at PayPal. Info at:

Thank you!

Bi Men Network Responds to
ACTION ALERT:
New York Times
Suggests Bisexuals Are "Lying"

ACTION ALERT:
New York Times Suggests Bisexuals Are "Lying"
Paper fails to disclose study author's controversial history

In a lead article in the New York Times' July 5 Science section, headlined, "Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited," Times writer Benedict Carey reported that an upcoming study "casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men." In suggesting that men who claim a
bisexual sexual orientation are liars, the Times relies heavily on a single study whose senior researcher has a career marked by ethics controversies and eugenics proposals--facts that were not presented to readers . . .

Open Letter to New York Times
from "MAC" Bi Men Founder

Dear PUBLIC EDITOR - NEW YORK TIMES:

I am ashamed for you to have been so rash and hasty as to run that "Gay, Bi or Lying" article without further serious examination of the harmful potential of such actions. While newspapers are black and white themselves such complex issues such as bisexuality are rarely so. As we say at the Bi MEN NETWORK - now with over 1/4 million active adult male members with us today worldwide - it is merely

INFINITE SHADES OF GRAY.
Bisexuality is a continuum of gay bisexuals to bi bisexuals to straight bisexuals. You hardly ever if NEVER hear from the straight bisexuals who are often swingers or have an infrequent tryst or threesome.

The bisexuals YOU DO HEAR of tend to be the gay bisexuals and likely those were very well represented in this very small study sample. Also gay bisexuals tend to be the ones - like ME - that you hear from as they are more open and willing to come forward - after so many decades since STONEWALL have gone by with a bit more acceptance.

The TIMES should be ashamed of itself and owes an apology to ALL bisexuals who represent an all but silent sexual minority. Pieces like this this do nothing to help bisexuals come out of their closets.

You can read of the TEN major types of bisexuals on our Bi MEN NETWORK world website. There you will note the major types of gay bisexuals and bi bisexuals and the straight bisexuals.

This sort of REDUCTIONIST thinking you report in this "study" is absurd. As Freud who spent a lifetime studying human sexuality concluded we are all bisexuals. If you and your staff and readers would be honest - they would all admit to at least some BISEXUAL impulses in their lifetimes - if not one
bisexual "fling" at some moment in time in their lives. As Heinlein portrayed in the future in his "Stranger in a Strange Land" we will likely all one day "happen" to be bisexual and it will no longer be any big deal whether one "happens" to be gay, bi, transgendered or heterosexual.

All I can surmise is that it is Summer and even the folks at the New York Times take it easy during the summer rushing off to Fire Island or the Hamptons or what not and did not THINK this piece through or fully evaluate its implications or probe the study's author and his sad reputation. Or did you just want to cause this uproar and boost circulation and get some attention? Well, we all appreciate a little attention now and then. Long ago I surmised with the Bi MEN NETWORK - just spell our name right - you did not spell the bisexual male name right this time. Shame on you. Please do better by us bisexuals next time. We are out there! So is the TRUTH.

Best Wishes,
