I can kind of see his point about the scale, so arguably it would make sense to say something like "-1 = straight, 0 = bi, 1 = gay". I'm not sure whether his scale is supposed to be serious or not (looking at his index page, it isn't in the "Humor" section), but I don't think it would be particularly useful. However, by putting bi in the middle like that, it conflicts with his other issue. That said, I'm not sure why it's a problem, and I'm inclined to say "You can't have it both ways". I.e. you can't say "Treating straight as the middle ground is bad because it implies that everyone else are deviants" while also saying "Treating bi as the middle ground is bad because it implies that only the extremes are ok".
