With all the depressing headlines lately, last week when I heard that Prop 8 had been overturned in California, at first I thought it was either a joke or I had to be dreaming. I admit I had stopped following the progress of the anti-Prop 8 fight, having lost faith in CA ever giving BLGT [...]

Recently for me there’s been some good news and some bad news; the good news is I haven’t run out of or had to look far for topics to write about for several weeks now.  The bad news is it’s because there’s been so much biphobia going around I’ve been kept busy answering it all!  [...]

Challenging the Myth of the Bisexual Man

A man enters a coffee shop, dressed casually but still looking somewhat pristine. Waiting in line, he shifts back and forth on his feet, nervously. He orders a Chai tea Latte, vaguely wondering if the drink choice is “too obvious” for what has brought him to the coffee shop. Taking a seat at a table [...]

At the beginning of June, a study came out about the health differences of BLGT people versus straight people.

A few months ago, when the whole “Lesbian Mafia” controversy happened, I decided I wanted to learn more about the lesbian/bisexual divide, and I started looking for an academic book on the subject. I ran across the book “Bisexuality and the Challenge to Lesbian Politics: Sex, Loyalty, and Revolution (The Cutting Edge : Lesbian Life [...]

Biphobia – Through Rainbow Colored Glasses

Something that concerns all bisexual people is the amount of biphobia that exists within the BLGT community. If fact, it can seem at times that bi people don’t belong anywhere. We’re labeled anything from “confused”, “fence-riders” all the way to “greedy”. What’s even worse though, is that this sort of discrimination comes from both sides [...]

Nearly everyone has heard the story of Constance McMillen by now. The Mississippi High School student that cancelled the prom—because she wanted the same thing that any other high school student wants—to attend the prom with her significant other.

One of the most enduring and memorable political quotes of our generation is Bill Clinton’s “I didn’t inhale.” At the time Mr. Clinton said this, the world of politics was experiencing change.
