Oh My Aching Head

Bisexuality at it's best is demonstrated in Max Eastman's Great Companions. He tells a priceless story about the gutsy Edna St. Vincent Millay. While at a cocktail party while chatting with a psychologist she complained of recurrent headaches. The psychologist asked her if she had ever considered that she might - unconsciously, of course - have an occasional impulse toward a person of her own sex. She responded, "Oh, you mean I'm homosexual! Of course I am, and heterosexual, too, but what's that got to do with my headache?"
