Why didn’t anyone tell me about Planet Unicorn?

It came up in discussion at SFSI training last weekend. For separate talks to students, people with different sexual orientations come and talk and answer questions about their orientation. There was a scheduling kerfluff: the straight guy flaked, the gay guy didn’t show (it was a mixup), but the bisexual man swooped in, gave a fantastic talk and was great. I was like, OMG: in a city full of gay men, you have no gay rep, I could almost literally pull a card-carrying straight boy out of my back pocket for you — but the most mystical, mysterious and invisible creature of all, the bisexual male, showed up and spoke for you. I said, “That’s like having a fucking unicorn appear.”

To which Thomas replied, “You’re seen Planet Unicorn, right?”
