Bisexuality on the ‘Lane’

Desperate Housewives is a household name. The show which burst on the scene in 2004 telling the story of Susan, Bree, Edie, Lynette, and Gabrielle, following the suicide of their friend Mary Alice—has followed the textbook rules for good drama since its original air date. Starting with a fantastic hook—the suicide of Mary [...]

Labels and Identity

With the recent controversy, which was basically a big argument about labels, I started to think about labels and identity in the BLGT community. Ultimately, do labels serve to unite, or divide? Would a more general label help unite those that are similar or have similar goals, but are not necessarily the same? [...]

Shall We Dance?

I guess it was inevitable.  I bought the pickup truck almost a year ago.  I baptized ‘him’ Lyle, my six-cylinder beau.  At the same time, I began listening in earnest to WUMB, the local folk station–which has plenty of country music as well–so the next step had to be dancing.  This past Saturday, that’s exactly [...]

Yes I’m Bi–but…

In the past few months, I’ve had the good fortune to find out about and join the new online group Academic Bi, which describes itself as “an international mailing list for discussion, exchanging information and ideas about topics related to bisexual theory, queer theory and the academic study of bisexuality, pansexuality, fluidity.” The discussions [...]

Invitation to a Bash

“Have fun having gay sex!” The comment was spat at me in anger. “Because that’s the only sex you’re going to get!” The anger was clear and the statement dripped with the venom of hate. The fact is, though that in the midst of a fight words are often thrown about [...]

Bisexual Conundrum

Everyone has fantasies. In fact—everyone has sexual fantasies. For bisexual people those fantasies include any variation of men and women that is pleasing – because of that fact, when someone comes out as being bisexual it is sort of a big deal. A celebration is held that maybe, just maybe, the subject [...]

Coming Out Bisexual On The Real World

When I heard that the 23rd season of MTV’s The Real World was going to take place in my hometown of Washington DC, and was going to feature two out bisexuals, I had to tune in. The show has turned out to be quite interesting. The two bisexual characters are Emily Schromm, who [...]

Bisexual Parenting

The questions regarding same sex parenting are nearly as varied and vocal as those surrounding abortion. Well, that may be an exaggeration, but it seems that the quality of life and one’s ability to parent is somehow linked to sexual orientation. As with a great many things in the BLGT community, there is a focus [...]

Bisexual in the New Year

Bisexuality. A lot of time and effort goes into defining it. The word itself – having hermaphroditic connotations – was suggested as obsolete in favor of ambisexual but this was never adopted. Alfred Kinsey, the foremost authority on human sexuality declared himself bisexual. Hundreds of women and men have declared themselves [...]
