Good post and I checked out that survey: only 65 participants but interesting nevertheless. I'd have liked to have known how many of the lesbians surveyed regarded themselves as lesbian feminists and as a former such person, now ostracized after coming out as bi, exclusionary & judgmental attitudes are common and very hurtful.
One former lover screamed the question"Why do you have to be so honest?" at me: apparently I should've kept quiet about sexual attraction to a man after decades of living as a lesbian?
And of course I'm still a feminist of the 70's Women's Liberation/Anarcha Feminist variety, but now have nothing to do with judgmental authoritarian feminists.
IIN for a bisexual person to feel ashamed when LGBT people act hateful?
