the more we de-construct her article, the more she seems to have allowed her petulant rage to overstate her position. This buckshot polemic has peppered more constituencies in the LGB community than just us, her intended target.
And it wasn't just bisexuals she compared to pet fuckers; if you look at the narrative logic to that point, she's drawn the net of those defined by "kinky" sex play as being practically the whole of the LGBT etc community. Better editing and a moment's reflection might have saved her, but instead of soberly pressing delete on this car-crash, she pressed "send to the Guardian".
Whoops. Sit back and enjoy as other groups realise what she said.
