In a 1999 article in the
Seattle Weekly, A. Davis related her experimentation with
same-sex relationships, and how as a result, she experienced hostility from
lesbian friends who pressured her to identify as a
bisexual, including one friend who urged her to do so as a political statement, despite the fact that Davis identifies as a
heterosexual who merely experimented with women for a brief period. Davis said that women who experienced same-sex relationships are more attuned to LGBTQ issues, and more likely to oppose discrimination. She also said that if the same degree of acceptance were extended to men who experimented with
homosexuality, it would promote greater acceptance of the
LGBTQ community. == See also ==
