Well, there's the problem of acting on it, yes. But not acting on it doesn't magically make you straight in my book, in any case.

And, I could swear I read somewhere that in WWII, there actually instances of young soldiers "seeking comfort" with each other, and it was somewhat known, but tolerated and not mentioned - as they basically thought they were going to die the next day. But I can't for the life of me remember where I read it.

What I mean is: while they wouldn't necessarily have had a bisexual "identity" like now, that doesn't mean they didn't participate in behavior we'd consider bisexual in modern day terms.

Fantastic book. And, yes, the homophobia and overt prejudice experienced by WWII soldiers could be genuinely terrible, but there was also at the same time a surprising amount of tolerance to be found.
