Dear Professors Rupp and Taylor;

We are writing to alert you to an unfortunate error that is immediately apparent in the very title and overview of your work.

While you are indeed correct that when to women kiss each other it does not automatically follow that they are lesbians, you seen to have inadvertently overlooked an obvious answer. This would be that they are not actually Straight (Kinsey 0), not actually lesbians (Kinsey 6) but instead fall in that broad middle range (Kinsey 1 thru 5) that currently is variously called bisexual, fluid, pansexual, queer-identified, et al.

We do realize this embarrassing oversight may come as a shock to you and are sure that if you had indeed realized that bisexual people actually existed it would have undoubtedly been of immense use to you in your research. In hopes that we can assist you in your future endeavors may we bring to your attention a few places to begin making yourselves more familiar with bisexual folk:

1.) American Institute Of Bisexuality (AIB)
http://www.bisexual.org/home.html

2.) BiNet USA
http://www.binetusa.org

3.) Bisexual Resource Center
http://biresource.net

4.) The Bisexual Index: What is Bisexuality?

5.) Academic Bi
