What Does The Removal Of Proposition 8 Mean For The Bisexual Community?

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 [...]

Isolation, Health, And The Bisexual Community

At the beginning of June, a study came out about the health differences of BLGT people versus straight people. When I heard about it I figured it would show something similar to what previous studies with the same idea have shown: that overall BLGT people have worse health, more depression and higher suicide rates than [...]

No Benefit Of The Doubt For Bisexuals

Lately bisexuality seems to have been a hot topic all over the Internet. Having wanted us to be noticed more, I thought this was a good thing until I actually looked at some of the so called “attention” we’ve been getting.  Ouch!  Some days it pays to not read!

Review: Experience At The Envisioning Workshop

Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s Hot New Bisexual Video

Everyone’s been talking about Lady Gaga’s new song and video Telephone, which features Beyonce and Heather Cassils. It’s been labeled risqué and “too hot to handle”, so much so, that there was even a rumor that MTV had banned it, which turned out not to be true. Of course the video is all over YouTube [...]

Bisexuals and Monogamy

The bisexual community often feels overlooked in the fight for same-sex marriage. Last week, we were finally acknowledged—as a scapegoat and an argument to uphold Prop 8!  Apparently allowing same-sex marriage is dangerous because bisexuals will want to marry someone of each gender, and then soon we will move on to plural marriage!  The exact [...]

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? Would it [...]

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 have [...]
