Sadly, it is rampant ... because ignorance is rampant.
Just the other day, I was sifting through a 100+ page discussion of homosexuality on another board. Now, I only read the most recent few pages in any detail, but I saw one person who thought he was being open-minded and was trying to argue that sexuality exists along a spectrum. An agreeable position, perhaps. One problem: he put heterosexuality at one end and homosexuality at the other. To my mind, that's an insidious false dichotomy, where the concept of sexual modality falls between two superficial extremes.

Indeed, it would be better simplified as a sphere. With one dimension, the circle representing different spots on the sexual preference spectrum - same sex attraction, asexuality, transexual attraction, pansexuality, etc. And another dimension at right angles to it, the full spectrum of genders. Male, female, transmen/women, hemaphrodites, etc. And the third dimension perhaps representing sexual preferences outside of those reliant upon the genitalia of your partner(s).
