In an ancient thread titled “What is the average age of a straight doper?” @Esprix asked “Yeah, what about us gay dopers?” Maybe a _little_ late, but this thread is for you @Esprix😁 If you identify as anything other than “straight”, what is your age? Bi-sexual and just turned 65 a week ago. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Bi-sexual and just turned 65 a week ago. You can DO that? Or in other words, wow, were you bi before it was cool? Serious question, with much respect behind it. I’d never heard of the concept until David Bowie proclaimed he was bisexual in [looks it up] 1972. ---
