The Difficult House of Joy

What grounds you?  What keeps you rooted and centered?  What is that place of strength from which you move outward? This was actually asked of me and my mat mates this past Saturday at the beginning of a yoga class.  What came to my mind first was my love of men, my capacity to love [...]

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” – A Memorial Day Reflection

Since the end of the Civil War, the United States has honored its fallen service members on Memorial Day so it seems appropriate for those of us associated with Bi Social Network to remember the members of the BLGT community who have served and died in action. It also seems rather appropriate to note the [...]

A Bisexual’s Dilemma: Who Can You Bring Home to Mother?

As the days lengthen and weather gets warmer I always start to remember my time in the Peace Corps.  Every year different memories will come wafting to the fore as I gladly anticipate the hotter weather to come in this country. This year the first memory to come floating back was of a conversation I [...]

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

When I moved to the Boston area some six and a half years ago, I knew that I’d have to stop discussing baseball.  Those who grow up as Yankees fans know it’s rather pointless, if not downright foolhardy to talk about the national pastime right in the middle of Red Sox Nation. I for one [...]

Stamping out Biphobia One ‘Bi Rant’ Article at a Time

Chicago—Living in Chicago, seeing division is an everyday life occurrence. If you are straight, you only go to straight bars or events. If you’re gay, you only go to gay bars and events. If you’re lesbian, you only go to women only bars and events, and if you’re a gay or lesbian, bisexual or transgender, [...]

Bisexual Ball Players Sues Gay Sports League of Biphobia

I’m in the middle of our Bi Talk show and I’m handed information in the form on an email on Advocate.com, about three bisexual ex-players (LaRon Charles, Steven Apilado and Jon Russ) who are suing the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Association (NAGAAA) on the bases of not being gay [enough] from the other gay [...]

Bisexual, the Antidote to Retrosexual

Apparently there’s a crisis sweeping the nation, one that even merited the airtime of CNN International last Friday.  In case you’ve haven’t heard the news, masculinity has taken a battering and it’s time to bring back the lost of masculinity.  Hipsters and metrosexuals be damned!  The evil feminists have destroyed men, who no longer occupy [...]

Yoga for Bisexuals

Stop.  Take a breath, exhale through your mouth.  Do that again deepening your inhale and exhale.  Now do it a third time deepening your breath even more.  Raise your shoulders up, then bring them down and back.  Do that one again too.  Now close your eyes for a few moments and take in the sensation. [...]

Making Bisexuals Count – Moving Beyond Opposites

As I was perusing titles for a look into the ways the US government has counted race and ethnicity since 1790, I came across Hybrids: Bisexuals, Multiracials, and Other Misfits under American Law by Ruth Colker, Esq, presently professor of law at the Ohio State University.  I didn’t quite know what to expect but I [...]

Bisexuals Get Colds Too

You know those days when give yourself a fright?  You look in the mirror and go, “Who the hell are you and what did you do with me?” Today is one of those days for me. I woke up with runny nose and I’ve been sneezing more than your average Disney dwarf.  If things continue [...]
