I brought this up furhter down the board, but I've been thinking about it a lot, and want it answered, so I figure I'd post it as its own thread.

Anyway, I never really did understand the lesbianism angle in Chasing Amy. Was Kevin trying to say that all of us are capable of having a meaningful sexual relationship with members of either sex, or was Alyssa just bisexual?

I know the main thing Kevin was trying to say with CA was that we shouldn't be hung up on our partner's past, but I can't seem to figure out the message behind the lesbianism. Is there even a message?
