I loved the Bisexual awareness one.....

And I liked the Bisexual Umbrella banner that was on there. Especially since it showed the fluidity of sexuality that could be possible for any human being. Although it would have been nice to emphasize it with the male side (even though it already did) but at least more explicitly. Like have the term "bisexual-gay" be on there for men as well. :-)
