CROSSOVER: Straight Men ~Gay Encounters (Icon Empire Press ebook) has offened members of the bisexual community for the lack of representation is a new series of short stories that looks at the taboo topic of heterosexual men having had gay encounters. It has drawn sharp criticism from people in the bisexual community.
“This ebook does not reflect bisexuality because many (bisexuals) lead happy and meaningful lives,” says Jon S a participating member of bi.org. The book is criticized because the “crossover” is from straight to gay. Many bisexuals don’t identify with this book because it doesn't establish a transition into bisexuality.
The book tries to avoid the reference to bisexuality because most of the main characters self identify as heterosexual. It is geared toward women to help them gain an understanding in the thought processes of desire in men.
“This is not a book about bisexuality,” says Robert Greene Author of CROSSROADS: Straight Men ~ Gay Encounters, “ It is addressing the mental turmoil straight men have with their curiosity and sexual identity.” Greene feels the book looks at what compels heterosexual men to act on their gay sexual desires.
