I am a man, and I'm into men and occasionally women. Yeah, I'll make sure people know I'm bi and not just gay. While I probably won't be looking for women, I'd be open to one approaching me (the type of women I'm interested in would be the type to take the initiative and approach me, rather than the other way around, anyway).
That's all the more reason to let people know in no uncertain terms that you're bi, while it happens that people goes for you regardless if you might be interested, they are few and quite frankly often a bit to self obsessed to be interested in you (more likely they are interested in themselves next to you)
As for getting more meatspace friends, that's one of my goals in moving. I have almost no friends here because I have almost no one to relate to (well that and pushing everyone I knew away; being depressed does that). A new place with new people to make a new start would be fucking awesome. Dammit why is it 2 months away :(
That seems great, I know about pushing friends away, it would just be nice if I like you could make friends at new places.

I have an idea.

Beyond blaring conservative talk radio, my workplace also has a little bulletin board where people put stuff up. There are some jokes, some political propaganda, some other stuff.

I want to put up a LGBT poster. One that's small and not too noticeable, but will still turn some bigoted heads. It also needs to look good black and white, as that's the only type of printer we have here.

Google images has failed me. Suggestions? :D

When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I would advise against putting up something that could be interpreted as sexually provocative, i.e., that last one.

What MSH said. Find a LGBT poster that isn't provocative or straight disgusting (for those who aren't into LGBT).

I had this uniform guy marching with LGBT flag in hands and it looked like some Soviet-propaganda poster, but hell I can't find it on my disk...

Found one that I like.

http://psych.ucsf.edu/uploadedFiles/Clinical_Care/San_Francisco_General_Hospital/Divisions/CHTF_LGBT_poster.pdf

I'm cutting off the bottom portion with all the stuff for that clinic. Also, I'm visibly crossing out the "e" from "hide" for each one I have and will come out to. Right now, it's just family and doctor. (Teachers might be hard since I currently don't have any :P )

I'll put up two of these, one above my desk at home, and one above my desk at work. I'm fishing for some discussion here. Here's hoping it turns some heads.

Man, all these people coming out makes me wonder if I ever should have come out to my parents.

But truth be told, I don't tell them ANY of what I do in bed, and I'm sure they'd have been fine with it. I'm just not naturally a "sharer" for that sort of stuff.

Honestly, I think the only thing they would have wanted was reassurance on grandchildren, heh. But honestly, it never seemed like something that needs to be talked about until it needs to be talked about.

This sort of attitude was probably helped by not having started dating until I left for college, of course. I imagine having a steady partner of the same sex for more than a couple of months would have required mentioning it to them... eventually.
