Farther down on 7th Avenue, some 20 blocks south of this coffee shop in Michael Mayer's quasi-Chelsea neighborhood, gay men are already crowding the areas around Christopher Street for tomorrow's parade. The influx is palpable; the restaurants seem busier this weekend. Mayer, still partly soaked from his one-block dash through today's thunder showers, mentions that tomorrow, June 27, is also his 44th birthday, falling on the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion.

In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey, then a little-known scientist at the University of Indiana, advanced a provocative theory about sex: a scale suggesting sexuality as a continuum -- not a set of binary oppositions. This fall Hollywood is finally catching up to Kinsey's theories by showing us bisexuality among men, not just women. A handful of recent movies portray sex between men who are -- just for the moment -- wildly attracted to each other.
